Topic:
Environmental impacts of tourism and sustainable tourism development
The prefecture of Preveza is an area that has been an ideal place to live because there are the fields (are necessary for cultivation), the mountains (important for safe landscape), the rivers (are necessary for drinking water and watering the fields) and the sea (for trade and fishing). Such a...Read more

Development and promotion of the WEEE prevention culture in Greece
(Corresponding) Charitopoulou T., Vogiatzidaki E., Gkitzeni I., Malliaris M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
WEEE streams challenge the goals towards a circular economy, since WEEE contain valuable and scarce resources that could be prepared for a second life or recovered. In the framework of the project LIFE REWEEE (LIFE14 ENV/GR/000858), Hellenic Recycling Agency (HRA) aims to raise awareness among...Read more

A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE USE OF URINE BASED FERTILIZERS: A COMPERATIVE SURVEY WITH FARMERS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
OZKAN E., (Corresponding) AKDAG Y., BELER-BAYKAL B.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Source separated human urine, a highly concentrated solution of nutrients, may be recycled directly or indirectly for further use as fertilizer. While environmental engineers (EnvE) recommend and set the fundamentals of this practice for valorizing a wastewater stream, farmers are the immediate...Read more

Domestic Photo-Voltaic installations - their contribution and practcalities
(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The roofs of domestic-scale properties used to haveone overall main function – to keep the weather out. But since the first solar-PV panels were fitted in the UK in 1994, it has become increasingly clear that, to reduce carbon emissions and thus contribute to the transition to net-zero, all...Read more
