Revision as of 14:56, 6 February 2019
Just some sample ideas to get you started.
- These are examples, not the whole scope of acceptable articles (which would amount to many thousands of topics). Appropedia's scope is very broad and there are important areas which haven't been added here (yet).
- Where a comment or link after a title below, it is simply a suggestion - the editor should make an assessment of whether it is a valuable resource.
- If an article is created from one of these, the title can be removed from this page once it has become at reasonable stub page.
A decent page will include at least a description, mention of context, mention of alternative perspectives, several "See also" links and at least one good quality link under "External links."
Special pages
- Special:WantedPages is an auto-generated page which shows the redlinks on Appropedia in order of how often they occur. Some of these can be made into redirects. Others need new articles on the topic.
If you want to improve an existing basic article, see:
- Special:ShortPages lists pages that have been started but have very little information.
- Category:Stubs - all pages with the {{stub}} tag.
Agriculture, food
- Lawn
- Seeds
- Lemon
- Grape
- Squash
- Food and agriculture
- Food and Agriculture Organization (& redirect from FAO)
Fish:
- Sustainable fisheries
- Guide to buying seafood - http://www.caelusgreenroom.com/2011/09/19/8-tips-for-sustainable-seafood/
Permaculture design and other good practices
- Specific techniques on each of the principles of permaculture.
- Check curriculum of a PDC (Permaculture Design Course]] - choose one aspect/component/principle for an article.
- Weeds
Soils:
- Chemical fertilizers (split fertilizers?)
- Agricultural chemicals
- Pesticides
- Herbicides
- Agroecology - note references here: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2017612869_guest28ashton.html
Crops, especially food crops - articles about important crops.
Non-food crops:
Appropriate technology
Built environment and construction
- New Urbanism and transit-oriented design (or transit-oriented development). These also have many subtopics which deserve articles
- New Pedestrianism
- Smart growth
- Urban sprawl (currently redirects to urbanization which does not address the topic)
- Automobile dependence
- Sustainability and Cities: Overcoming Automobile Dependence - short stub now, could do with a summary of the book's arguments.
- Livable streets:
Architecture and green building:
- http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/01/23/architecture-without-architects-bernard-rudofsky/
- Earth-covered houses
- Sustainable housing aka green housing - subtopic of green building.
- Energy efficiency retrofits. Note for example the work done by the Clinton Foundation, facilitating the upgrading of office buildings for energy efficiency.
- Solar space heating
- (something about pavements, stormwater and permeable surfaces. Note Permeable pavements and Groundwater recharge.
- Apartments
- Any of the building elements - windows, doors, thermal insulation...
- Embedded energy of buildings
- Materials: glass, cement, concrete...
- See more ideas at this thread.
Business and industry
Sustainable business practices, including:
- Sustainable business purchasing. (Green Purchasing Asia may be a useful source - open access, and friendly to Appropedia, but copyright so can't copy large slabs verbatim.)
- Rare earth metals - impacts, alternatives; how to make ethical purchasing decisions
- Slave labor - allegedly used to produce goods in China, chocolate in parts of Africa, prawns in Southeast Asia... what's the evidence, and how should we respond?
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
- Kyoto Protocol
Look at climate change policies and possible response in specific regions, e.g.
Low carbon technologies:
- Low energy buildings - see the #Built environment and construction section.
Ecological footprint (note also Carbon footprint):
- Population. (Note David Attenborough's new documentary looking at human population.)
- Peak stuff - http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21886-peak-planet-are-we-starting-to-consume-less.html
- Environmental impact assessment
- Environmental services - recognizing the value of services provided to humans by the environment. Important aspect of environmental accounting.
- Natural environment
- Environmental impact
- Bacteria
- Anaerobic bacteria
- Aerobic bacteria
- Logging
- Invasive species
- Sustainable forest management
- Ecoforestry
- Forest management
- Illegal logging
- Natural forests (and then turn Forest and Forests, now redirects to Forestry, into a disambiguation page.)
- Reforestation
- Energy forestry
- Environmental design
- Environmental health
- Environmental movement
- Environmental engineering
See also industrial ecology topics under #Industry.
Economics
- Economics/Economy
- Green economics
- Discount rate for environmental goods
- Environmental economics
- Environmental accounting and environmental management accounting - intro at http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/bus/accounting/whatisema.asp
- Subsidies
- Trade
- Natural resources
- Ecological economics
- Environmental finance
- Post-growth economics or post-growth society. Note the criticisms of the idea, and the ways in which "post-growth" is used. (The exact meaning in economics terms is probably not grasped by the majority of the people who talk about it.)
Energy
- Electricity generation
- Stirling engines
- Solar thermal energy - solar towers (and/or parabolic arrays) with molten salt.
- Solar radiation
- Grid energy storage
- Dealing with intermittent energy production - energy storage; quick-cycling power plants such as LNG plants; ...are there other options?[1]
- EROEI
- Hydrogen economy
- Thermal energy
- Energy forestry
- Energy density
- Energy development
- Wave power
- Wind farms
- Microgeneration/Distributed generation
- Co-generation
- Sunlight
- Diesel
Biofuel:
- Ethanol fuel
- Aviation biofuel
- Camelina oil (note wikipedia articles wikipedia:Camelina (esp "Biodiesel and jet fuel" section) and wikipedia:Aviation biofuel
Mathematics and statistics
- Common errors in statistics - see 5 Ways Statistics Are Used to Lie to You Every Day | Cracked.com - relevant to many areas of debate re environment & development.
Green living
- Find good science-based advice such as http://withouthotair.com/
- 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).
International development
- http://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/blog/2012/03/pink-telephones-in-cambodia - at least a mention on Mobile_phones_in_development_and_disaster_management, maybe its own article too
Food security:
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.
Public health
Society
- Psychology of environmental action
- Environmentalism (currently redirect to Sustainable development
- Environmental justice
- Consumerism
- Packaging
- Sustainable art
- Environmental sociology
- Examine the effectiveness of competing policies for environmental or poverty-reduction outcomes. (Look at think tank publications - summaries of good reports can be valuable wiki articles, e.g. Grattan Institute's reports on energy and carbon policies.)
Wastewater and sanitation
Water
Water quality and analysis:
Water treatment:
- Sand filter
- Water filters (currently only content is about one specific filtration project)
- Slow sand filtration - but sure to consider why they aren't more widely used (i.e. what contexts are they good for?)
Ecosanitation:
Transition
Transition towns & related 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
- Resilience
Transport
Unclear and "big picture" articles
These are suitable for keen students who have become familiar with Appropedia over some months.
