Life without phosphorous?

The Green Bug Lectures start into their fourth turn! The Green Bug Lectures now take place every first Tuesday in a month, the preliminary program is shown below.

This semester's lecture starts with a presentation by Jennifer Bilbao from the IGB, Fraunhofer Institute about the scarcity of phosphorus. While the awareness for the scarcity of oil, minerals and even water has finally made its way to the public mind, the scarcity of the essential nutrient Phosphorous still remains fairly unknown. As early as 2035 it is calculated that the demand for phosphorus will outpace the supply. Here we can find an enlightening example of the urgent need to close matter cycles in order to achieve a sustainable resource management.

"Life without Phosphorus?"

Tuesday, 2nd of November, at TMS, starting at 19:00h

Late arrival: presentation download on "Towards a generation of sustainability?"

The last presentation of the last semester almost disappeared in a jungle of traveling and exams. But I unearthed it in order to give it a second chance to be shared among us. We discussed the possibilities of reacting to the manifold crisis that you don’t need to be an academic to realize we are in. Although the explanations to the slides are missing, there are many interesting links provided. Have a look!
