This book aims to aid decision-makers in planning, siting,
designing, and operating composting facilities. It is also useful
to citizens, regulators, consultants, and vendors interested in the
composting of yard trimmings and municipal solid waste.
In 1881, Adolphus Greely led a US Arctic expedition to gather
meteorological, astronomical and magnetic data. The expedition was
poorly supported by the US Army, neither Greely nor his men had
experience of Arctic conditions, and their ship, the Proteus,
sailed home without them once they landed in Greenland. An
inadequately planned relief mission failed to reach them in 1882,
and a second expedition in 1883, including the Proteus, also failed
to locate the men or to land supplies. In 1884, Congress
investigated the earlier attempts with a view to launching a
further rescue. This report includes an inquiry into the inadequate
earlier missions, details of Greely's original resources, and
suggestions for a plan of approach for the rescue, including how to
find the men and where they were likely to be. When found in 1884,
only seven of the original team of twenty-five were still alive.
While technologies are clearly instrumental in transitioning away
from fossil fuel-based energy and toward a decarbonized economy,
decisions about which technologies are prioritized, how they are
implemented, and the policies that drive these changes will have
profound effects on people and communities, with important
implications for equity, jobs, environmental and energy justice,
health, and more. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine Committee on Accelerating Decarbonization in the
United States: Technology, Policy, and Societal Dimensions was
tasked with assessing the broad range of technological, policy, and
societal dimensions of decarbonizing the U.S. economy. The
committee produced a 2021 report that provides the U.S. government
with a roadmap of equitable and robust decarbonization policies.
The next report of the committee will address the broader range of
policy actors who play a role in equitable energy transition. To
inform its deliberations, the committee hosted a 1-day workshop on
July 26, 2022 to discuss critical issues of equity and justice
during the energy transition. The goal of the workshop, titled
Pathways to an Equitable and Just Transition: Principles, Best
Practices, and Inclusive Stakeholder Engagement, was to move beyond
energy technologies and elicit ideas and insights to inform the
development of principles, best practices, and actionable
recommendations for a broad range of policy actors and stakeholders
in order to fully operationalize equity, justice, and inclusion.

workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter Overview 1 Public Health,
