Support Nuclear Energy Posters

 Support Nuclear Energy!

Project Summary:

This project focused on around 20 posters/ flyers posted across the Eckerd College campus. The posters were simple but used high-quality images with bright colors to draw attention. They list 5 key points on why one should support nuclear energy. At the bottom, there is a QR code that links to the website which is the second half of this project.

The second half of the project was a website that goes more in-depth into the 5 key points. At least one paragraph was written about each segment with sources being used and cited. The website also lists some modern information on nuclear energy's current importance and how we as individuals can support it.

Goal:

Educate the public about the upsides of nuclear power and show them how they can support it. Have 100 visitors to the website. 

Framing:

These posters target Eckerd students and staff. Being a liberal arts college most of the people who will be exposed to the posters will be left-leaning. Due to this reason global warming, climate change, and green energy are mentioned. If this was being done on a more right-leaning college campus, nuclear energy’s help for these issues would have been less prevalent. The website is divided into segments so visitors can flip through and read about what interests them the most.

Results:

Over twenty posters have been posted at key locations on campus, including the Pub, Cafeteria, Environmental Science building, and many more. While the is no good way to measure the views of the posters, we can track the website data. As of the day of publication the site currently had 53 viewers, this is expected to grow as more posters were put up late yesterday day and more students getting exposed to the posters. I would consider this a fairly good success, while I would prefer higher website traffic but, many more will have seen the posters and hopefully had their brains provoked to consider the upsides of nuclear energy.

Living Shoreline Campaign on St. Pete Beach

Image
By Hanna Panagrossi & Zoe McGrath Why Did We Do it? As residents of St. Petersburg, Florida, we recognize that our white sand beaches and crystal clear ocean are some of the biggest draws to tourists and people looking to move to the area. We also recognize as a seaside town, we are going to experience some of the fastest and most devastating effects of sea level rise brought on by climate change. We felt that it was our responsibility, as residents, to advocate for the protection and preservation of our beach town. With that, we embarked on this campaign with the hope to enact change strong enough to keep our town safe enough for future generations to enjoy.  What is a Living Shoreline? Sea level has been increasing at about 3.3 mm each year in since the early 1990s. The rising sea level can largely be attributed to increasing global temperatures; the warmer temperatures cause thermal expansion of the water and are melting land ice which adds input to the sea level.

Agriculture and Climate Change Mitigation: Sara Francis, Jacob Perlmutter, Isabel Warren, Jeniana Willner

What’s up with agriculture? Agriculture is quite an important component of a dynamic society. It allows for the fulfillment of the basic needs of everyone, everywhere. We need it, so we do it. We have done it for many, many generations, and have come up with many ways to do it. Some of those methods have been constructed on a foundation of love and longing for harmony with nature and help our fellow flora and fauna thrive. Indigenous American people, for example, grow the (sustainable and regenerative) Three Sisters crop, which consists of corn, beans, and squash. The three plants aid each other in their growth, contribute immensely to the health and richness of the soil they are grown in, and attract some very happy pollinators. The food harvested is a thing to be thankful for, a gift from life to a people who help it flourish. The process fosters a fortified ecosystem, including humans, that can withstand and adapt to a climate change-ridden world. A win-win-win-win-win, if you ask u...

Environmental Justice: Pipeline impacts

Environmental and Social Degradation as a Result of Crude Oil Pipeline Projects  by Mae Guinn Project Overview: The fossil fuel industry within this country is the source for so much environmental and social damage. We, as a nation, have relied on unsustainable and exploitative practices to energize our world, the need for a switch to alternative fuels intensifies. The oil industry makes up a large amount of America’s GDP and is one of the largest political actors in our world, controlling policy, land, and lives. Pipeline projects, used to transport fuel across our lands, are the most “economically efficient” way of moving crude oil, yet hold devastating consequences for our ecosystems and communities that surround them. The construction, use, and abandonment of these projects all hold such destructive capability, and the Indigenous people of this country disproportionately bear the burden of this environmental degradation. Their lands and natural resources are actively disap...
