Earth Month Success

Earth Month has come and gone, but not without some impressive milestones.

We asked you to come up with unique ways to repurpose the library periodical storage containers and you did not disappoint!  While everyone provided us with unique ways to reuse, the winners are:

  • Jenna Corsey, table
  • Euem Osmera, haircare equipment organization/storage
  • Laura Strong, diaper/baby care organization

Congratulations!  If you missed the entries, check them out here.

To celebrate the 4 BCycle stations on campus we gave away hundreds of free, annual memberships, gave away helmets, and let people test out the new electric-assist BCycles coming soon to a station near you.  If you missed the event but would still like a membership, please email LiveGreen@unmc.edu

We maintained our rain-streak during the personal document shredding and electronic/battery/techno trash recycling event, but it’s still our most popular event with hundreds of you dropping off items:

  • 261 pounds of VHS tapes, DVDs, CDs, and floppy disks
  • 14,142 pounds of electronics
  • 4,192 pounds of paper for shredding
  • 182 pounds of alkaline batteries
  • 18,777 total pounds diverted from the landfill. That impact?*
    • 24 trees saved
    • 255 gallons of oil not used
    • 572,686 hours of electricity saved
    • 7,752 gallons of water

You also donated:

Peter Pellerito gave a great talk on basic stretches you can do to prevent athletic and repetitive task injuries, and Melanie Stewart presented a zero waste lunch and learn with the COPH and a Re-Imagining U Course on sustainable living.

We celebrated our status as an Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree Campus USA for the 6th straight year by planting an Autumn Blaze Maple giving away Ponderosa Pines and wildflower seeds, and asking Master Gardner Susan Siebler lots of questions.

The Drawdown EcoChallenge allowed many of us to learn new information while having an impressive environmental and personal impact.  We placed 77th out of 1,054 teams…and beat UNO’s team.  Again!

We want to provide activities that are meaningful to you, both personally and professionally.  If you have any additional comments, suggestions, or changes for next year please email us.

*Estimated impact; actual totals may vary slightly depending on the exact mix of electronics and type of paper turned in.

  2. Epic Games a quant à lui fait face à Valve en accueillant lui aussi a bras ouverts les jeux sur la blockchain, contrairement au père de Steam qui a banni tous ceux qui se trouvaient déjà à son catalogue, et qui a formellement interdit toute production en rapport avec les NFT ou les cryptomonnaies. Ces titres ressemblent à des jeux mobiles assez basiques. Beaucoup se contentent de proposer une variante « crypto » (c’est-à-dire un jeu qui repose sur une blockchain et qui intègre des NFT) de jeux existants, par exemple les cartes façon Hearthstone pour Gods Unchained ou une sorte de jeu de rôle inspiré de Pokémon pour Axie Infinity. Il existe plusieurs sortes de jeux play-to-earn. Comme leur nom l’indique, la plupart de ces jeux nécessites que vous y jouiez afin de pouvoir obtenir des récompenses. Cependant, certains jeux NFT permettent également de générer des revenus passifs, et ce de diverses façons.
