Aikido Harmonia InSTEDD iLab América Latina Mexican Food Recipes | Mexican Recipes Salmon is a wonderful fish to work with but make sure you get a good quality piece. This recipe calls for filets not steaks. Choose fresh (not frozen) salmon and pick some filets that are about 1 or 1¼ inch thick. A good indicator of freshness is a bright pink color. Fresh salmon smells like water not like fish. If you are using vacuum-packed fish then use the best before date as a freshness indicator as well as the color. Salmon can be baked, pan-fried, roasted, grilled, or even cooked in the crockpot. Serve the finished salmon with a side salad or with your favorite Mexican vegetable side dish.

| Escola de Diálogo de São Paulo Desis Lab Vision DESIS Lab members explore the relationship between design and social change. Our goal is to advance the practice and discourse of design-led social innovation to foster more equitable and sustainable cities and practices. In a complex world facing numerous systemic challenges, DESIS Lab members rethink assumptions about cultural and economic environments, bringing nuanced approaches drawn from integrated design practices to communities of all kinds. In the DESIS Lab, service design is considered an advanced approach, one integrating many design disciplines. Foundations Three foundations guide our research in design strategies: Bridging structural holes: Social settings often suffer from severe information asymmetries. Local and Global The lab works with local partners in New York City and with global partners through the DESIS Network, participating in large-scale research programs and projects to effect social change.

D/A Blogs | Dharma/Arte Blogs Open Living Labs | The First step towards a new Innovation System PET bottle recycling Bottles made of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET, sometimes PETE) are recycled to reuse the material out of which they are made and to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. In many countries, PET plastics are coded with the resin identification code number "1" inside the universal recycling symbol, usually located on the bottom of the container. Usage of PET[edit] PET is used as a raw material for making packaging materials such as bottles and containers for packaging a wide range of food products and other consumer goods. Process[edit] "1-PETE" resin identification code[3] Post-consumer waste[edit] The empty PET packaging is discarded by the consumer after use and becomes PET waste. Sorting[edit] When the PET bottle is returned to an authorized redemption center, or to the original seller in some jurisdictions, the deposit is partly or fully refunded to the redeemer.

InSTEDD | Innovative Support To Emergencies Diseases and Disasters Biodegradable plastic Utensils made from biodegradable plastic Biodegradable plastics are plastics that are capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms. Two basic classes of biodegradable plastics exist:[1] Bioplastics, whose components are derived from renewable raw materials and plastics made from petrochemicals with biodegradable additives which enhance biodegradation. Examples of biodegradable plastics[edit] Development of biodegradable containers ASTM industrial standard definitions[edit] In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission and the EPA are the authoritative body for biodegradable standards. ASTM International defines methods to test for biodegradable plastic, both anaerobically and aerobically as well as in marine environments. Controversy[edit] Many people confuse "biodegradable" with "compostable". There is a major discrepancy between this definition and what one would expect from a backyard composting operation.
