The architect Michael Sorkin imagines an environmentally self-sufficient N.Y.C.
Apartment buildings are environmentally self-sufficient, with solar panels, gardens, and even livestock floors.
The campus is an environmentally sustainable and self-sufficient facility that incorporates locally appropriate technologies, including solar power generation, rainwater harvesting, biogas fuel for cooking, and composting toilets.
Unfortunately, improved economics of production are not sufficient for an environmentally sustainable production, or its large scale feasibility.
Low color, space environmentally durable polymeric films with sufficient electrical conductivity to mitigate electrostatic charge (ESC) build-up are needed for applications on advanced spacecraft, particularly on large, ultra-light weight space structures.
Low color, flexible, space environmentally durable polymeric materials possessing sufficient surface resistivity (106 1010 Ω/square) for electrostatic charge (ESC) mitigation are of interest for potential applications on Gossamer spacecraft as thin film membranes on antennas, large lightweight space optics, and second surface mirrors.
The conservatives' assertion that drilling alone is sufficient is not only environmentally irresponsible but the stuff of fantasy.
The technical expertise that politicians relied on in the past to produce cost-effective and environmentally sound solutions no longer provides sufficient justification to approve waste facilities.
The results of this study indicate that PCB organohalide respiring bacteria are capable of dechlorinating PCB 61 at environmentally relevant concentrations if present in sufficient numbers.
Today, increasing attention is being paid to the downside of high-input agricultural systems and much research is aimed at developing alternative ways to produce sufficient food in a sustainable and environmentally sound way.
