SUMMARY:Social Media and Loneliness: What Do We Need to Know?
DESCRIPTION:Event Format: Webinar \nHosting Organization: APEGA \nCourse Summary: We humans are hard-wired for social relationships with one another. This capacity to connect is beneficial in multiple ways\, including decreasing health risks and improving our physical well-being and longevity. Social media has increased our ability to connect with each other while also\, ironically\, leading to an increased sense of loneliness for some people. Research suggests that we may have a “sweet spot” in our social media use that allows us to experience a sense of connection while steering clear of the potential mindless scrolling that can lead to less connection. \nLearning objectives \n\nNormal versus excessive or problematic social media use\nFactors that lead to some people feeling lonelier when using social media\nBenefits and potential drawbacks of social media use\n\nHow to Register: Click here for more information and registration. \nEvent Contact: APEGA Professional Development Department – pd@apega.ca \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

SUMMARY:iPolytek – How Sustainable is PV Solar Power? An Intro to Life Cycle Analysis and Planetary Boundaries – Online Course
DESCRIPTION:If you search “solar photovoltaic sustainability” on the internet\, you will find a multitude of articles hailing the technology as green\, clean and ready to spearhead our world into a sustainable future. However\, you will also come across articles that are much more critical of the technology. This begs the question\, “How does one go about accessing the environmental impacts of a technology in a systematic\, objective way?” We answer this question using PV solar power as a case study. \nIn this course\, we study an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of solar photovoltaic power and learn of its impacts on human health\, freshwater\, climate change\, ecosystems and land use. We compare the environmental performance of solar PV to other renewable and non-renewable electricity generation technologies. Finally\, we take an in-depth look at a scientific article in which researchers show how countries can determine their optimal energy mix given their available resources and environmental objectives. \nTime: 4-hour self-paced course. Access this course online 24/7 for up to 2 years. \nLocation: Online – Register anytime and gain immediate access \nClick here for more information and to register.
