Revision as of 09:49, 17 March 2012

Just some sample ideas to get you started - pages.

(If you create an article about one of these, you can remove it from this page after you have made a article of at least two or more paragraphs.)

Appropriate technology

Built environment and construction topics

Urban planning topics:


Architecture and green building:

Carbon cycles and climate change

(Consider wider issues around carbon, including carbon cycles, ocean acidity, other aspects of air pollution, and energy security, though obviously climate change is a particularly important aspect of carbon issues.)

Carbon management and climate mitigation policies:

Low carbon technologies:

Ecology & related topics

Ecological footprint (note also Carbon footprint):

See also industrial ecology topics under #Industry topics.

Energy topics

Biofuel topics:

Green living

  • Take tips such as these and give them some order - multiple pages, apply some critical thinking, start to identify the key actions based on the 80-20 rule (that 20% of the effort is likely to give 80% of the benefit).

Industry topics

Industrial ecology subtopics...

International development topics

Communications:

Food security:

Status of development:

Participation:


Permaculture and food production

Specific techniques.

Permaculture design and other good practices

  • Check curriculum of a PDC (Permaculture Design Course]] - choose one aspect/component/principle for an article.
  • Animals
  • Weeds
  • Polyculture


Soils:

Agricultural science topics

Crops, especially food crops - articles about important crops.

Non-food crops:

Society

Toilets and wastewater

Ecosanitation topics:

Transition topics

Transition towns topics

  • Organizing a transition town
  • (Find out about the community in Ballard, Washington state, where a CSA farm grows and distributes without the use of petroleum, as far as possible.)
  • Local economy

Transport

Water

Water treatment:

To be sorted


Advanced

  • See also Category:Suggested projects - each page will have a "suggested project" tag, which in many cases is an idea for researching a topic.
