La investigadora Alba Badia ha col·laborat en la iniciativa "Esfera Climàtica", organitzada pel CREAF. Aquesta iniciativa dona veu a investigadores expertes en canvi climàtic i temes ambientals. Gràcies a la col·laboració d'una xarxa de científiques de tot l'estat i dels mitjans de comunicació com la televisió, la ràdio i els diaris, s'està aconseguint transmetre les dades climàtiques al públic de manera fluida.
When I first contacted Bob in 2001 inquiring how I could include Industrial Ecology in my PhD thesis, he taught me how to apply the principle of Material Flow Analysis to track chemical substances and assess chemical process in terms of efficiency, dissipative losses, and recycling opportunities throughout their life cycle.
Gara Villalba presented her work in a session held in memory of Bob Ayres at the Industrial Ecology GORDON 2024 conference. Urban and peri-urban agriculture (UA) can provide locally grown food at low environmental impact by maximizing the recycling of nutrients from the city to agricultural lands.
