Résumé:
This volume summarises the results of 'The Aesthetics of Sustainability', a research project led by ECAL/Ecole cantonale d`art de Lausanne. It brought together master students of product design, established materials specialists, manufacturers, and researchers with the aim of exploring and defining the aesthetic potential of a new generation of sustainable materials. The result is a series of fourteen case studies involving the development of materials made from textile waste, recycled paper, rubber granulate, or vegetable fibres. The resulting new materials can be shaped, pressed, woven, or welded. A selection of these materials will be presented through experiments and prototypes of products.

Résumé:
Sellafield, Europe's largest nuclear site, began being decommissioned in 2022. Its primary purpose was to produce weapons-grade plutonium for the UK's nuclear weapons programme, but they also generated electrical power for the National Grid from 1956-2003 and reprocessed nuclear fuel from 1952 to 2022. In 1985, Barry Lewis photographed part of the plant for The Sunday Times Magazine after reports found an increased incidence of leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children and young adults under 25 years of age living in Seascale, a village near Sellafield on the west coast of Cumbria. A government report suggested that these spikes were unlikely to have been caused by radiation exposure though the causes of these clusters of leukaemia around Sellafield was still not clear. 100Kg of plutonium had been pumped out of Sellafield into the Irish sea during the previous 40 years and 60Kg was unaccounted for. Any plutonium dust that is washed inshore, and when the tide goes out, could dry and blow inland. A single speck of plutonium inhaled is enough to trigger cancer. Sellafield is now a sprawling rubbish dump on the Cumbrian coast, with the world's largest store of plutonium that stores and treats decades of nuclear waste from atomic power generation and weapons programmes.The buildings are expected to be finally torn down by 2125 at a cost of approaching £100 billion and have its nuclear waste buried deep underground at a location still undecided.

The stories tell how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago, during the late Edo Period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development and realization, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations. They tell of people overcoming many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food and population--and forging a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed, well-fed and economically robust.

Résumé:
Welcome to Finland, a young land experiencing a rapidly aging consciousness, where newly founded institutions are already outmoded and geographic impediments are a constant crippling agent. The latest addition to international prankster/deep thinker Ingo Niermann's Solution series, this wryly entertaining book addresses the Nordic country's numerous predicaments. The three Finnish authors offer solutions to their native country's quandaries, ranging from the absurd (the implementation of fiction-mongering emissaries to boost tourism) to the earnest and probably half-serious (the repurposing of the country to host nuclear waste). The book elucidates the northern country's modern history as a nation under construction, proposing that its identity remain a malleable myth.
