The Methuselah Nebula, MWP-1 // Frank Wiebking

This is one of the oldest (150,000 years) and largest (15 light years) planetary nebulae out there! Its about 4,500 light years from Earth and was only discovered in 1993 by Motch, Werner, and Pakull (thus its ID).

MEDITATIVE WEEK OF POETRY: JEWEL CAO

The tree outside the room I occupy is growing fungal fractals. When both are beautiful, I fail to tell the difference between

natural and unnatural decay. Though I prefer not to nurture hope, it’s difficult to prevent your neck from craning upwards.

For years, I have been trying to become more than an ember flung towards the shins of men idling around a campfire.

Also, I have been trying to stop hating my mother, though who among us has never hated their mother? I thought I’d be a writer

and then I saw my father sweep all the books off the shelf and heard how softly they hit the floor. From then on,

I wanted to be a man. I believed men to be structured, geometric; each night I felt fractals fuse the shells of my bones. Infectious

but necessary, they were composed of the debris of the day, which would collect in my undergarments and refuse to be washed off.

It wasn’t long before I had formed into a dream of returning home as something people could no longer see themselves reflected in.

But how is it possible to define yourself in relation to a moving field? By Thanksgiving, I found myself in Chinatown buying a roast duck.

There, even the paper menu taped to the taupe wall recognized me. The way I had to look up to read it must have been familiar.

It is discouraging to no longer grow taller, only accumulate densities. Like sheets of glass. Leaving with two styrofoam boxes

stacked in a plastic bag, I almost stepped on a brown dog nosing wetly at the door. We looked at each other.

Was it just as clear to him, what I wanted?

SM Prime: Engineering a sustainable future

SM Prime leads sustainable development, integrating sustainability into its core business strategy.

Sustainability has become a driving force across every industry. For SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), one of Asia’s leading integrated property developers, sustainability is elevated through a strategic framework that leverages the company’s extensive operations, significant economic impact, and cultural influence.

SM Prime’s sustainability journey began in the 1990s, guided by a focus on resilience and practicality. The company has always valued substance over style, favoring strategies grounded on real-world application rather than flashy, short-term fixes.  Its strategy is built on what truly matters to the business and the community it serves, ensuring that its sustainability efforts are both effective and enduring.

In its 2023 Annual Integrated Report, SM Prime introduced its Sustainability Ambition Roadmap with a clear and powerful message: Together for a sustainable future – aligned with its vision of creating and managing innovative, sustainable, and integrated property developments that enhance the quality of life for all.

SM Prime’s sustainability strategy is built on three main goals: (1) Environmental sustainability, (2) Prosperity for all, and (3) Climate resilience.

Building on its sustainability framework of Economy, People, Planet, and Community, SM Prime identified three major goals to pursue: Environmental sustainability, Prosperity for all, and Climate resilience – all aimed to create a future marked by sustainability, resilience, and widespread prosperity by 2030, 2040, and beyond.

Under its environmental sustainability strategy are two significant programs released by the company:  Net Zero by 2040 and #SMWasteFreeFuture.

Net Zero by 2040

SM Prime is committed to enhancing people’s quality of life by intensifying climate action, reducing disaster risks, investing in resilient design, protecting biodiversity, and implementing strategic corporate social responsibility programs, with its main focus on climate action toward a net-zero business. The company has been collaborating with the World-Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature-Philippines to establish science-based targets in alignment with the global commitment of a net-zero ambition by 2050.

“We understand the magnitude of the challenges we face to achieve our Net-Zero commitment. SM Prime is determined to take action and meet its climate commitments. This is one of our top agendas in sustainability,” said Jeffrey C. Lim, SM Prime President and CEO. 

SM City Santa Rosa's solar photovoltaic (PV) system has 5,772 panels at 3.088 MWp capacity and has an annual solar energy production of up to 4.292GWh.

#SMWasteFreeFuture

SM Prime launched its vision for an #SMWasteFreeFuture, in support of the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) International Day of Zero Waste. The program introduces a simple segregation scheme: Recyclable, Disposable, and Compostable (RDC), all aimed at reducing overall waste generation and increasing the waste diversion rate from landfills through sustainable disposal methods. The initiative was launched nationwide for SM employees and across all SM property groups and stakeholders.

SM Prime continues to support existing programs and partnerships that promote better waste management solutions. Initiatives such as SM Supermalls’ Trash-to-Cash recycling market, Plastic Waste Collection and E-Waste Collection programs, and regular coastal and estero clean-up activities effectively engage the community in rethinking their relationship with waste.

To address food waste, SM Hotels and Convention Corporation (SMHCC) has pioneered projects such as The Sustainable Diner with WWF-PH, diverting 198,640 kg of food waste through bokashi composting and 40,013 kg through biodigesters. SMHCC also launched Tela Tales, a program that recycles condemned linens.

SM Prime gathers the community for a #SMWasteFreeFuture.

SM Development Corporation (SMDC) recently partnered with Globe and Scholars of Sustenance Philippines for the Hapag Movement, aimed at targeting food waste and involuntary hunger affecting millions of Filipinos. “As a community, we strongly believe in our ability to contribute to solving today's waste issues. We understand that this may seem like a daunting challenge to overcome. However, by joining forces, we can create a world that our future generations truly deserve – if we have the courage to take on this journey together,” said Hans “Chico” Sy, Jr., President of SM Engineering Design and Development Corporation (SMEDD) and SM sustainability champion.

Water stewardship

SM Prime is committed to water stewardship by implementing innovative water conservation and management practices, ensuring that properties developed are more responsive and adaptable to the changing needs of communities.

Through its sewage water treatment plants, wastewater is processed, preventing contaminated water from polluting local waterways and for reuse. The recycled water is utilized in malls for water closet flushing, air conditioning operations and landscape greening.

SM City Baguio’s Rainwater Filtration Facility addresses water security and ensures a safe and sufficient water supply for the mall's operations and its tenants.

Karbon nötr ulaşım ve dönüşümü ileriye taşımak üzere çalışmalarını sürdüren Mercedes-Benz Türk, Aksaray Kamyon Fabrikası’nda 7.5 MWp kurulu gücündeki yeni güneş enerjisi santralini tam kapasite olarak devreye aldı

AKSARAY (İGFA) – Tüm tesislerinde karbon nötr üretim hedefini benimseyen Mercedes-Benz Türk, kaynakların korunması ve iklim dostu üretime yönelik çalışmalarıyla ağır ticari araç endüstrisine öncülük etmeye devam ediyor.

Bu kapsamda Mercedes-Benz Türk, Aksaray Kamyon Fabrikası’nda 7.5 MWp gücündeki yeni Güneş Enerjisi Santralini tam kapasite olarak devreye aldı. 4.000 hanenin 1 yıllık elektrik ihtiyacını karşılayacak düzeyde enerji üretecek olan santral, fabrikanın yıllık toplam elektrik ihtiyacının yarısını karşılayacak ve yıllık 5.300 ton karbon salımını azaltacak.

‘Yeşil Hedefler’ programı kapsamında 2039’a kadar karbon nötr üretimi hedeflediklerini ve bu doğrultuda kararlılıkla ilerlediklerini belirten Mercedes-Benz Türk İcra Kurulu Başkanı Süer Sülün konuşmasında, “Aksaray Kamyon Fabrikamız üretimden, ihracata, AR-GE’den sürdürülebilirliğe kadar her alanda başarılara imza atıyor. 1986’da Anadolu’nun merkezinde faaliyete başlayan ve bugün bölgenin en büyük yeşil alana sahip üretim tesisi olan fabrikamız geleceğe yatırım yapmaya devam ediyor. Kuşkusuz, tüm otomotiv sektörünün ana gündemlerinden biri karbon ayak izi ve beraberinde gelen dönüşüm. Bu noktada Mercedes-Benz Türk olarak karbon ayak izimizi azaltmak adına çalışmalarımızı sürdürüyoruz. İklim değişikliği etkilerinin azaltılması ve iklim değişikliğine uyum sağlama hedefimizi ürün geliştirme, tedarik zinciri ve üretim faaliyetlerimizde dikkate alıyoruz.   2030 yılına kadar  toplam enerji tüketimimizin minimum yüzde 55’ini yenilenebilir enerjiden karşılama hedefimiz var. Bu doğrultuda Aksaray Kamyon Fabrikamızda geçtiğimiz sene 1.3 MWp kurulu gücündeki santralimizi faaliyet aldık. Bugünse Aksaray Kamyon Fabrikamızda 6.2 MWp gücündeki kısmı da faaliyete geçiriyoruz. Toplamda 7.5 MWp gücündeki güneş enerjisi santralini tam kapasite olarak devreye alarak yenilenebilir enerji hedefimize bir adım daha yaklaştık. Yeni santralimiz ile fabrikamızın yıllık toplam elektrik ihtiyacının yarısını karşılayacağız. Santralin kurulmasında emeği olan tüm çalışma arkadaşlarımı tebrik ediyorum” dedi.
