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:
- New Urbanism and transit-oriented design have many subtopics which deserve articles
- New Pedestrianism
- Smart growth
- Urban sprawl
- Slums
Architecture and green building:
- http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/01/23/architecture-without-architects-bernard-rudofsky/
- Earth-covered houses
- Solar space heating
- (something about pavements, stormwater and permeable surfaces. Note Permeable pavements and Groundwater recharge.
- Apartments
- Dense-low housing development, as in Denmark and elsewhere in
- Any of the building elements - windows, doors, thermal insulation...
- Embedded energy of buildings
- Materials: glass, cement, concrete...
- See more ideas at this thread.
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:
- Carbon price, Carbon markets (one article to start, possibly separate articles later)
- Carbon cycle
- Carbon tax
- Low-carbon economy
- Energy innovation policies
- Carbon footprint
- Kyoto Protocol
Low carbon technologies:
- Low energy buildings - see the #Built environment and construction topics section.
- Renewable energy and energy storage topics - see the #Energy topics section.
Ecological footprint (note also Carbon footprint):
- Population growth. (Note David Attenborough's new documentary looking at human population.)
- Population density
- Organic waste
- Ecosystem
- Conservation biology
- Natural environment
- Environmental impact
- Biosphere
- Bacteria
- Anaerobic bacteria
- Aerobic bacteria
- Ecosystems
- Reforestation
- Genetic engineering
- Logging
- Invasive species
- Natural forests (and then turn Forest and Forests, now redirects to Forestry, into a disambiguation page.)
- Environmental design
- Environmental health
- Environmental movement
- Environmental engineering
See also industrial ecology topics under #Industry topics.
Energy topics
- Stirling engines
- Wave energy
- solar towers (and/or parabolic arrays) with molten salt.
- Solar radiation
- Grid energy storage
- Energy storage
- EROEI

- Energy development
Biofuel topics:
Green living
- Find good science-based advice such as http://withouthotair.com/
- Meat
- Computer
- Efficient energy use
- Sustainable clothing. One info source: look up Alice Payne's "Think Lifecycle" (interviewed on an ABC.net.au podcast, but might be more useful.)
- 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...

Status of development:
- See UNDP reports on specific topics, or chapters of their human development report.
- Millennium Development Goals
Participation:
- Base articles on chapters/sections in the World Bank's Participation Sourcebook and/or similar documents.

Specific techniques.
Permaculture design and other good practices
- Check curriculum of a PDC (Permaculture Design Course]] - choose one aspect/component/principle for an article.

Soils:
- Clay
- Charcoal
- Manure
- Sand
- Bioremediation
- Soil salination
- Soil conservation
- Soil science

Agricultural science topics
Crops, especially food crops - articles about important crops.
- Beans or Legumes
- Grass, silage
- Fruit trees - general and specific articles
Non-food crops:
Society
- Psychology of environmental action
- Environmentalism
- Environmental economics
- Environmental justice
- Consumerism
Toilets and wastewater
Ecosanitation topics:
- Ecosanitation designs
- Ecosanitation and health regulations

- Local economy
Transport
Water
