La valorisation des Déchets agricoles: Un partenariat gagnant-gagnant entre les Fabricants mondiaux, les Entreprises agroalimentaires locales et les Coopératives de petits exploitants agricoles

Dans le monde, les déchets agricoles représentent environ 1,3 milliard de tonnes par an, soit environ 30% de la production agricole totale. Ces déchets sont souvent brûlés ou jetés, ce qui entraîne des impacts négatifs sur l’environnement et la santé.

Selon une étude de la Banque mondiale, la valorisation des déchets agricoles pourrait créer jusqu’à 1,5 million d’emplois dans les pays en développement d’ici 2030. Un exemple réussi est celui du projet Waste to Wealth au Ghana, qui a permis de transformer les déchets de noix de coco en charbon de bois écologique, en réduisant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et en augmentant les revenus des producteurs locaux.

Dans le texte intégral, nous présentons des solutions potentielles pour: la valorisation des déchets de riz la valorisation des déchets de manioc la valorisation des déchets de cacao la valorisation des déchets d'ananas la valorisation des déchets de noix de coco la valorisation des déchets de coquilles d'œufs la valorisation des fumiers de volaille la valorisation des déchets agricoles pour produire des biochars. Le biochar possède divers avantages, tels que l'amélioration de la fertilité des sols, la séquestration du carbone, la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, etc.

La valorisation des déchets agricoles peut bénéficier aux communautés locales des pays en développement en réduisant les coûts d'élimination des déchets et en minimisant l'impact environnemental.

Êtes-vous un fabricant de produits alimentaires ou un fournisseur de technologies qui possède des technologies permettant de produire des produits à haute valeur ajoutée? Cherchez-vous un moyen d’étendre votre activité aux pays en développement et d’avoir un impact positif sur le monde ? Si oui, ce partenariat constitue une opportunité passionnante pour vous de vous joindre à des entreprises agroalimentaires locales pour produire des produits à haute valeur ajoutée destinés aux marchés nationaux et d'exportation. Ce partenariat gagnant-gagnant bénéficierait à toutes les parties. Le partenaire international bénéficierait d’une image de marque sociale et environnemental, l’entreprise agroalimentaire locale créeraient des emplois et contribuerait au développement économique du pays tandis que la coopérative de petits exploitants agricoles contribue au développement économique des communautés locales.

It’s Not a House … It’s a Home

(1937)

This is one of three single-phase transformers being installed at Amoskeag Hydro Station. Getting these 3,000-pound transformers to their new home on the opposite side of the powerhouse building was a formidable task. After removing part of the building’s brick exterior wall, workers rolled each transformer into position on railroad rails. Today, a large crane would be used to simply reach over the building to lift a transformer up and over the powerhouse. If fact, that was done in 2017, when these three were replaced with one modern three-phase transformer. The original units lasted reliably for 80 years, which is a testament to the technology and engineering capabilities of that time.

Special thanks to Bill Smagula for all the detail on this one!

Gonna Change My Way of Thinking

(1977)

Show of hands: Who’d like to learn where energy comes from, how to use it efficiently, and become a card-carrying Junior Energy Conservation Specialist? If you were a fifth grader in PSNH’s Southern Division back in ’77 or ’78, you just might have gotten the opportunity—not to mention a pretty sweet ID card featuring Reddy Kilowatt.

From a press release at the time:

The class consists of energy conservation ideas and projects, the pupils are taught how electricity is generated and how to read an electric meter through a series of talks and slides and how to conserve electricity.

The classes are taught by Al Taylor, Southern Division Staff Assistant and Mrs. Pauline Hawkins, Energy Applications Specialist both of Public Service Company and the audio visual aids feature such characters as “Energy Ant” and “Eddie Energy.”

At the end of the class the students had a fifteen minute written quiz and received Junior Energy Conservation Packets which contain coloring book, pencil and several books and pamphlets to aid them in energy conservation.

The first three photos were taken at Brookline Elementary School in October 1977. Pauline Hawkins is shown with a power plant diagram, and in the next photo, PSNH’s Milford District Manager, Norman E. Woods, Jr. presents Brookline fifth grade students with their Junior Energy Conservation Specialist Cards. In the last photo Pauline is with students at Wilton Elementary School in November 1977.

Connecticut Line Workers Win Significant Arbitration Against PSNH

High Voltage Line Workers (Luca Florio FLIKR CC 4.0)

Workers win arbitration case after being suspended for refusing to do work that put their health and safety at risk.

Some people claim that “unions are no longer necessary” because they have already done their job. Thanks to unions we have workplace protections and occupational safety requirements. Just because these laws are in place does not mean that employers actually abide by them.

During the week of Thanksgiving in 2014, most of New England was buried in snow and ice from a barrage of winter storms. One storm knocked out power for most of the southern part of New Hampshire.

Tens of thousands of Granite Staters spent the Thanksgiving holiday in their homes with no heat, hot water or electricity.

To help restore power as quickly as possible Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) sent out the call to line workers across the region. Workers from Connecticut Power and Light (IBEW Local 420) answered that call. Giving up on their own holiday plans they drove through the remnants of the storm to help restore power to the people of New Hampshire.

Once they arrived in New Hampshire they were informed of their duties and what they would need to do to get the power restored.

But there was a problem.

PSNH instructed the CT line workers to repair damaged 34.5k voltage lines throughout the area. The CT crew was not trained or equipped to handle these high voltage line repairs. When the workers objected the PSNH supervisor, Enos Stevens, told them, the lines would not be energized and they could just test the line for “potential with hot sticks.”

Again the workers objected as they were not trained nor equipped to handle these types of lines. Stevens responded by saying, “this is the work we are doing.”

After the workers objected, Stevens threatened the workers with disciplinary actions for failing to do their assigned tasks. Stevens said, “If you are not going to do the job, you are all going home.”

Instead of risking their own personal safety, seventeen of the workers continued to refuse the assigned tasks and were sent home. It was not until a few days later that the workers found out that they had all been suspended without pay for insubordination.

“[PSNH] had other work available but chose to send the workers home instead of sending them out to work on lower voltage lines,” said Frank Cirillo Business Agent for the IBEW local 420 in a recent phone interview. Cirillo estimated that only one of the ten possible tasks the workers could have been assigned would have required handling this 34.5k voltage lines. “They could have been utilized in other areas to help restore power to the people in New Hampshire, but instead were sent home.”

The union immediately filed grievances on behalf of the workers and took the case all the way to arbitration.

In his decision the arbitrator clearly stated that, “the Company did not have just cause to suspend the grievants for 5 days without pay.” He went on to say, “An employee is under no duty to obey an order which would endanger his life or health.”

All seventeen workers had their records expunged and were “made whole for all wages and benefits lost as a result of the suspension.”

After the arbitrator’s decision was made, Cirillo said, “This is an excellent decision.”

Cirillo said he was “not surprised by the decision,” but highlighted the importance of the arbitrator’s decision to uphold the workers safety concerns and that workers should not be forced to do a job that would put their safety at risk.

This case once again proves that even though we have mandatory safety requirements, employers choose to ignore them and risk the health and safety of workers. Without the support of their union behind them these worker would have been wrongfully disciplined or worse seriously injured on the job.

It is a fact that unions helped to pave the way for many of the safety regulations we have in place now, but without unions who will hold employers accountable for abiding by these safety regulations?

This is just one example of why unions are needed just as much today as they were a hundred years ago.
