American Author and Civil Engineer to Share Inspirational Children’s Book in Singapore Through Upcoming Events
The first event will be a STEM Story Time and Activity Session held at the Bishan Public Library’ s Activity Room from 2:00-2:30 PM. During the session, Courtney will lead a reading from her first book, Celeste Saves the City. Based on her life, the story follows a young girl growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, who is forced to evacuate from Hurricane Katrina. Determined to make a difference, Celeste decides to become a civil engineer and saves the city from flooding by protecting coastal wetlands using barrier islands. After the reading, attendees will be able to ask Courtney questions about the book and her career as a civil engineer. The session will end with a hands-on STEM activity as kids create their own barrier islands using building blocks. Registration is not required for this event.

The second event will consist of an English-French bilingual story time reading of Celeste Saves the City followed by a presentation by Courtney Kelly where she will share her personal story and insights into the world of civil engineering. This event will take place at the Alliance Française de Singapour starting at 4:00 PM and coincides with the OCEAN exhibition currently on display. This exhibit is a new French Excellence Programme running through 30 August and encourages visitors to explore the mysteries and wonders of the ocean.

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej
Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.
Przemysł spożywczy
Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
