Soil Trust project is addressing the food waste issue by experimenting with eco-friendly farming practices and community involvement. Soil Trust also develops the Growers Without Borders service learning program. By combining eco-friendly farming practices with creative community involvement, Soil Trust promotes sustainable land management and tackles the critical issue of food waste. Through the program, people from different backgrounds participate in farming practices that help the environment, using kitchen scraps to enrich the soil.
泥玩透過嘗試生態友善農業實踐和社區參與來解決食物浪費問題。泥玩也開發「泥玩無國界」服務學習計畫，透過將生態友善農業實踐與創造性的社區參與相結合，促進永續土地管理並解決食物浪費的關鍵問題。透過無國界種植者計劃，泥玩鼓勵來自不同背景的人們參與有益 於環境的農業實踐，利用廚房殘渣來肥沃土壤。

Smaller, faster-charging batteries are the answer for affordable and sustainable electric vehicles (EVs) for everyone, everywhere. The ability to quickly refill energy is profoundly important in order to reduce EV cost and demand for critical minerals. In this talk I will present asymmetric temperature modulation (ATM) approach to enabling 10-minute fast charging of energy-dense Li-ion batteries in any temperatures (even at -60°C) while still delivering remarkable cycle life. Recent disastrous events at EV charging stations caused by an arctic blast in Chicago will be given as an example of the dire need for quick energy refill in the extreme cold. Battery fast charging must also work in hot summers along with high-temperature stability of cycling and storage. We shall present novel thermal management concepts for extreme fast charging in both extreme cold and hot conditions. Overall, our development points to a new paradigm of battery design and thermal management without having to trade-off among fast charge, safety, lifetime, and cost.
