Otterbein's story begins in the mid-1800s, before the abolition of slavery, before the women's rights movement, before equality and inclusion were rights. Otterbein was founded by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ in 1847. Those qualities built Otterbein to what it is today: a nationally recognized university offering bachelor and master degrees to a wide variety of students.
We included women as faculty members and as students from our founding, and we were the first institution in the nation to do so. Otterbein admitted students of color before the Civil War and welcomed Japanese-American students who had been sent to internment camps during World War II. And, we gave students a voice in our story through our unique governance system beginning in the 1960s. Today students from diverse backgrounds enhance Otterbein's campus by sharing their unique experiences and perspectives. Read more about Otterbein's history.

We would like to welcome our newest Grain-Free Foodie, Tracy. This recipe looks delicious and I know we are going to see many more great things from her. Please note that this recipe is unsweetened for those people needing to avoid or restrict honey intake.
Nut Pancakes with Wild Blueberry Topping
2 ½ cups ground nuts and seeds. (Grind nuts first, then measure)
¼ cup COLD butter or Ghee straight from the fridge – it is important that the butter be cold
½ teaspoon baking soda
(note- while baking soda is not technically GAPS-legal, it is neutralized in the cooking process so it shouldn't affect stomach acid)
Juice of 1 large lemon
¼ teaspoon of salt
3 eggs (separated)
1 cup coconut milk, well-chilled
Oil for frying
1 cup blueberries (we use Trader Joe's frozen Organic Wild Blueberries)
Pats of butter
For this recipe, I use a coffee grinder, food processor, and KitchenAid mixer. I find these very helpful for achieving the consistency and rise in the pancakes. I also tend to keep a can of shaken coconut milk in the fridge at all times, so it is cold when I am ready to use it.
First, grind the nuts. I mix up a combination of cashews, pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seed, walnuts, and sunflower seeds, or any combination of the above. Usually, I keep a big bowl on the counter full of this mixture so that when I put a scoop into my coffee grinder, it's a good combo. Extra ground nuts I keep in the fridge until I'm ready to use them.
Separate the eggs, and put the egg whites into the mixer, and beat them until soft peaks form. Transfer them gently into a large mixing bowl.
Put the nuts into the food processor and add the baking soda and salt. Pulse until combined. Add the very cold butter in chunks and pulse until well-combined. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice and the cold coconut milk, and pulse until well-combined. The batter should be thick but not stiff, closer to cake batter than cookie dough; add more coconut milk if necessary. Gently transfer the batter into the mixing bowl and fold the egg whites into the batter.
Fry immediately in a heated frying pan with a generous coating of oil. Pancakes are best eaten hot right off the griddle, but you can also keep them in a warm oven until ready to serve.
We like to heat the frozen blueberries in a small saucepan with a little water (maybe 1 or 2 Tbsp per cup of berries) until they release their juices and come to a boil. Use as little water as possible, as it diluted the wonderful juices released.
Serve pancakes hot with pats of butter and scoops of hot blueberries and juice.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to draw to the attention of the House that this week is Canadian occupational safety and health week, a week designated to focus public attention on the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace.
This year's slogan, "Communicating: Open the Channels", stresses the need for co-operation. The importance of prevention is clear when we look at the figures. In 1993 alone 733 Canadian workers were killed and nearly 830,000 were injured while at work. This translates into more than 15 million work days lost with direct and indirect costs of more than $10 million.
I commend the people trying to reduce these numbers by increasing awareness of the problem. I urge all members of the House to work with business and labour to stop this tragic waste of human and economic resources.

Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner Are Just Like Bella & Jacob! Watch Her Hug And Punch Him!
Check out this cute video footage of Kristen and Taylor playing around backstage at the MTV Movie Awards!
Kristen Stewart is so much like her Twilight counterpart Bella Swan! The usually shy 21-year-old actress showed off her adorable tomboy side backstage at the MTV Movie Awards when she ran into her hunky 18-year-old costar Taylor Lautner.
In the middle of a conversation, Kristen spots Taylor and runs to meet him. After Taylor whispers something in her ear she playfully punches him and then he embraces her like a little sister. Their adorable off-screen interaction is very reminiscent of their character's Bella and Jacob's relationship! At least this time when she hit him it was light-hearted in gesture! Even though she was all dolled-up in a gorgeous dress with flawless hair and make-up, Kristen was still a tomboy at heart just like Bella.
We think it's so incredible that the two have become such good friends while filming Twilight, and find it hilarious that the two have the same BFF relationship in real life as they do onscreen. With Rob and Kristen's real-life romance and Taylor and Kristen's genuine friendship, it seems as though the casting directors of The Twilight Saga were really able to bring the story to life!
We are also dying to know what the werewolf hottie whispered in Kristen's ear to get her so excited! Tell us what you think of Kristen and Taylor's friendly interaction! Do you think he was teasing her about how he got to kiss her boyfriend? What do you think he said?

Rose Bowl Stadium was built by the Tournament of Roses Association to replace the original site of the annual college football event that would eventually be named after the new stadium. In 1897, the city of Pasadena had bought 10 acres of land in the town's Arroyo Seco region. In 1921, when the association needed a plot of land for its new venue, the ten-acre site was chosen. When the stadium was built it originally held 57,000 patrons. A police reporter by the name of Harlan W. Hall gave the horseshoe shaped football stadium its name.
In 1929, Rose Bowl increased its capacity by 19,000 as it added seating to the then open south end of the stadium. The capacity of the venue now stands at 92,542. Over the years the Rose Bowl has hosted many events, including events during the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympic games, the 1994 FIFA World Cup Finals and since 1982 it's been the home field for the UCLA Bruins football team.
The Rose Bowl, which is located at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena, California, was designed by architect Myron Hunt, is owner by the City of Pasadena and is operated by the Rose Bowl Operating Company. Original construction costs $272,198. The stadium opened officially on October 8, 1922.

ROME (AP) — The vice president of Italy's Senate rejected calls for his resignation Tuesday for making a racist slur against Italy's first black Cabinet minister, but said he was sorry and would send her flowers to make amends.
Roberto Calderoli, a leader of the anti-immigrant Northern League, has been criticized by Italy's president, premier and a host of ministers and lawmakers for comparing the Congolese-born integration minister, Cecile Kyenge, to an orangutan.
Premier Enrico Letta's Democratic Party called for his resignation, and the premier himself warned the League to put an end to such racist attacks or risk a political confrontation.
Kyenge has been targeted by racist slurs from the Northern League ever since she was named integration minister in Letta's government in April. One Northern League politician has called her a Congolese "monkey," while another has said she deserved to be raped.
Calderoli told a League rally over the weekend that when he thought of Kyenge, an orangutan came to mind.
Calderoli on Tuesday asked the Senate to accept his apologies and said he would have resigned had a majority of Senate leaders asked for it. But he said no such majority had formed. Letta's Democrats don't control the Senate.
He said Kyenge had accepted his apologies and said he would follow the suggestion of colleagues by sending her a bouquet of flowers.
"I said something foolish and I recognize that," Calderoli told the Senate. But he added that he should be judged in the Senate by his behavior in the Senate, not at a political rally.
Kyenge declined once again to respond to the insult, stressing that she has a political responsibility. She acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press that she has become a "lightning rod" in Italy's racism debate, but that she doesn't take the attacks personally.
"It is clear that my path has not been an easy one. It has been difficult in terms of integration, and for professional affirmation, and for even the possibility to study," she said. But she urged those who have issues with race to "translate your discomfort into a different language, not a violent one, but a message that might improve the system."
Kyenge immigrated to Italy in 1983 to study medicine. She married an Italian, had two children, and while working in Modena as an eye doctor, became active in local politics.
Her 17-year-old daughter, Giulia, seems to be following in her mother's footsteps: She was recently interviewed by an Italian blog for the children of immigrants, called "Yalla Italia," in which she made clear her thoughts about racism.
"Racism is pure ignorance," Giulia said during a break at an Italian multi-cultural festival where she worked as a cook earlier this summer. "In the end, someone who is racist is someone who doesn't know, but likes to judge without knowing what's going on."
The interview was conducted prior to the Calderoli attack.
It's not the first time Calderoli has been under fire for racist remarks: In 2006, he was forced to resign as a minister in Silvio Berlusconi's government after he wore a T-shirt on state-run television featuring one of the Prophet Muhammad cartoons that had inflamed the Muslim world.
Calderoli is vehemently anti-immigrant, and his party has opposed Kyenge's calls for Italy to change its citizenship laws to allow children of immigrants born in Italy to obtain citizenship. Currently, such children can apply for citizenship only once they turn 18, but bureaucratic problems often interfere.
Italian commentator Beppe Severgnini said Calderoli's comments were clearly aimed at rallying the League's base after the party has weathered tough times following poor electoral showings and a party funding scandal involving the family of League founder Umberto Bossi.
"It's a dangerous calculus," Severgnini warned on the front page of Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper Tuesday. "If leaders are allowed to compare a woman of color to an orangutan, their followers will feel authorized to judge people by the color of their skin. They'll feel justified when they diminish them with a joke or offend them with a comparison or humiliate them with a look."

The smart thing for the woman to do is just say that she was not offended but considered it an honor to be associated with such a beautiful animal.Whether she believed it or not,it would have put a stop to that shit once and for all.
That's not racist, white people use that all the time.

"Eight hundred miles is a long way to go to meet any man. It's even further when you're a 13 year old girl driving your brother's car -- borrowed without permission, of course -- to rendezvous with an online boyfriend whom you've never met in person before. That's how far Elizabeth Annette Robinson of Cypress, Texas, was willing to go to meet the 12-year-old guy whom she met while playing Xbox over the Internet, according to KHOU-TV. Last Thursday, Elizabeth decided she'd rather play the game of love for real and stole her mom's ATM card, snuck out her bedroom window, and hopped into her brother's 2011 Nissan Versa, according to KRIV-TV. Robinson drove north through Arkansas to meet the object of her affection, Dylan, in Nashville, Tenn." - HuffingtonPost

Washington, DC - The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today issued an Order against Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (Rabobank or the Bank), bringing and settling charges of false reporting and attempted manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for U.S. Dollar, Yen and Sterling, and of the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) and charges of successful manipulation of Yen LIBOR. The CFTC also settled charges that Rabobank, at times, aided and abetted the attempts of derivatives traders at other banks to manipulate Yen LIBOR and Euribor. These violations, which spanned nearly six years, involved more than two dozen employees working out of six offices on three continents. Rabobank is obligated to pay a penalty of $475 million, and the company is ordered to take further steps to ensure the integrity of its LIBOR and other benchmark interest rate submissions in the future.
David Meister, the Director of Enforcement stated, "The CFTC has now charged five global financial institutions for LIBOR manipulative schemes, with nearly $1.8 billion in penalties imposed by the Commission alone. The sheer number of institutions and individuals involved in these cases reflects a truly shocking and brazen degree of unlawfulness, warranting the historic enforcement response we bring forth today and in our prior cases. I want to personally commend Gretchen Lowe and the Division staff who have all painstakingly worked to investigate and prosecute these cases in the finest traditions of law enforcement."
Ms. Lowe, Acting Director of Enforcement-designate, commented, "For years, Rabobank allowed profit-driven traders located in offices around the globe to corrupt the submission process for critical benchmark interest rates. When an institution threatens the integrity of the financial markets, we bring the full force of our authority to bear. Accordingly, today the Commission holds Rabobank accountable for its egregious, manipulative misconduct."
Highlights of the CFTC Order
Rabobank was one of the global banks that submitted borrowing rate information on a daily basis for use in the calculation of LIBOR for various currencies and for Euribor. Rabobank also traded and held cash and derivatives positions whose value depended on these same benchmarks.
From at least mid-2005 through early 2011, Rabobank traders engaged in hundreds of manipulative acts undermining the integrity of U.S. Dollar and Yen LIBOR, Euribor and, to a lesser extent, Sterling LIBOR. The violations took various forms:
- Rabobank traders, some of whom doubled as LIBOR and Euribor submitters, regularly made and accommodated their fellow traders' requests to make favorable rate submissions to benefit their trading positions through attempts to manipulate U.S. Dollar and Yen LIBOR and Euribor. On occasion, they did the same with respect to Sterling LIBOR. Making submissions that were, as some Rabobank employees said at the time, "ridiclous," "obseenly high" and "silly low," more than two dozen traders, including several desk managers and at least one senior manager located in Rabobank's New York, London, Utrecht, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore offices engaged in this wrongful conduct or knew it was ongoing at the time but did nothing to stop it.
- At times, Rabobank was successful in its attempts to manipulate Yen LIBOR. In fact, the misconduct with respect to Yen LIBOR was so entrenched that as traders assumed the role of submitter, their predecessors would train them on the unlawful practices.
- Rabobank also, at times, aided and abetted other banks' attempts to manipulate Yen LIBOR and Euribor, including coordinating with an interdealer broker on Yen LIBOR submissions to aid the manipulations of the Senior Yen Trader at UBS AG. As one senior Rabobank employee put it: "You know, scratch my back, yeah, and all," to which the broker observed, "Yeah oh definitely, yeah, play the rules."
The CFTC Order further finds that Rabobank ignored the obvious conflict of interest it created by assigning traders with trading positions tied to LIBOR and Euribor to serve as Rabobank's LIBOR and Euribor submitters. Submitters were improperly left to choose between their responsibility to make an honest assessment of borrowing costs and their desire to maximize the profitability of their trading positions. Here, Rabobank's submitters often resolved the conflict in favor of profit. This conflict was exacerbated by traders and submitters sitting together so that traders could simply shout requests for unlawful submissions across the trading desk. Rabobank thus provided these employees with unfettered opportunities to attempt to manipulate LIBOR and Euribor for profit, and the traders took advantage of those opportunities. The Order also finds that Rabobank otherwise lacked sufficient controls around the LIBOR and Euribor submission process and failed to adequately supervise its traders and submitters.
According to the Order, this manipulative conduct occurred even after the Commission had commenced its investigation of Rabobank's U.S. Dollar LIBOR practices in April 2010, when Rabobank received the Commission's request that the Bank internally investigate its U.S. Dollar LIBOR practices. In late 2010, after Rabobank submitters refused, as instructed by a manager, to consider a trader's requests for particular Yen LIBOR submissions, the Rabobank trader promptly obtained the assistance of an interdealer broker to continue attempting to manipulate Yen LIBOR to benefit his trading positions through early 2011.
The Order requires Rabobank to pay a civil monetary penalty of $475 million, cease and desist from its violations of Commodity Exchange Act, and adhere to specific undertakings to ensure the integrity of its LIBOR and other benchmark interest rate submissions in the future. The Order also recognizes the significant cooperation of Rabobank with the Division of Enforcement in its investigation.
In related actions, the U.S. Department of Justice entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with Rabobank, deferring criminal wire fraud charges in exchange for Rabobank continuing to cooperate and agreeing to a penalty of $325 million; the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a Final Notice regarding its enforcement action against Rabobank and imposed a penalty of £105 million (approximately $170 million); the Japanese Financial Services Agency (JFSA) issued an administrative action against Rabobank for failure of its internal controls within its Tokyo office; De Nederlandsche Bank (or the Dutch National Bank (DNB)) took action by imposing remedial measures on Rabobank; and the Dutch Public Prosecutor's Office (DPP)) agreed to a payment of €70 million (approximately $96.5 million) by Rabobank in order for Rabobank to avoid a criminal prosecution.
The CFTC acknowledges the valuable assistance of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FCA, the JFSA, the DNB, and the DPP.

Mike Krzyzewski has decided to remain coach of the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team.
Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third straight gold medal, a person with knowledge of the decision said Wednesday. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzewski will hold a news conference Thursday at Duke to confirm his return, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
The Hall of Fame coach has led the Americans since 2005, winning gold at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and the 2010 world basketball championship. His return was first reported by Sports Illustrated.
"I think it's great," two-time gold medalist LeBron James said Wednesday night before the Miami Heat faced Indiana. "What he means to USA Basketball is beyond just what we do on the court. It's what we stand for as Americans and being proud of the red, white and blue every time we step off the bus or practice or talk to the media or whatever the case may be. I think it's great."
Krzyzewski repeatedly said he planned to end his international coaching career following the Americans' victory last summer in London. Yet USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo preferred to hold off any discussion until after Coach K finished his season with the Blue Devils, and he got the answer he wanted.
The 66-year-old Krzyzewski will lead the Americans next summer at the renamed World Cup of Basketball in Spain, where a victory would qualify them for the 2016 Summer Games in Brazil. They are 62-1 over the last seven years.
Krzyzewski's return could help land commitments from some of the top NBA stars who have enjoyed playing in the program he and Colangelo revamped in 2005. James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony are among the All-Stars who have won multiple gold medals under Krzyzewski.
"I've got the utmost respect and trust in Coach K," James said. "And whatever he decision was going to be, I think we all would support that."
James has said he would like to be there in 2016 as well.
"It would be great," James said. "First, I've got to make sure I stay healthy. If I'm fortunate enough to be healthy, I would love to represent my country again, but that's a long time from now. So we'll see."
The U.S. team had been led by an NBA coach from the time NBA players were first used in the 1992 Olympics through the 2004 Games, when the Americans lost three times and finished third.
They managed only another bronze in their first tournament under Krzyzewski, the 2006 world championship, but haven't lost a game since while restoring the U.S. as the top team in the world.

Despite the summer flood of high-end smartphones, there's a market out there for those that want mid-range devices. With a nice QWERTY keyboard, it's great for those that e-mail and text message on a regular basis, and the 5.0-megapixel camera isn't too shabby either. What's more (spoiler alert), the reception and battery life are incredibly good. At $69.99, the Mode goes up against quite a few featurephones in T-Mobile's lineup, making it a decent bang for the buck for someone who doesn't need every feature available to man.
Design & Features
Offering a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 5.0-megapixel camera, VGA front-facing video camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, and HSDPA connectivity, the Mode comes in at 4.48 inches long by 2.30 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick, and weighs 4.5 ounces. It's thin and sleek, but the metal form factor makes it slightly heavier than other devices in mid-range category. I spent several weeks carrying the device in my pocket, and never felt as if the Mode was too heavy or bulky.
The left side of the phone contains the microUSB and microSD card slots, while the volume rocker and voice command button are on the right side. The power/lock button and 3.5mm headphone jack are on the top, and the camera and speaker are both located on the back of the device. In a world of plastic smartphones, I've been exceptionally pleased with the metal build of the Nokia E73. With plastic comes issues with creaking, bending, and build quality issues in general. The exterior build quality of the E73 is fantastic, and the overall weight of the phone is just enough to where I feel comfortable carrying it without fear of breaking it.
Usability & Performance
Those that text message or e-mail frequently will be pleased with the full QWERTY keyboard on the device. When comparing to a BlackBerry (Bold 9700, to be exact), I found the keys to be a bit squishy and less tactile. Like Nokia devices of the past, the "Z-M" row is also centered to the left, throwing off those that are used to the typical QWERTY layout. After weeks of using it, I was still hitting the comma and period keys when I was trying to hit the "N" and "M" keys. I also noticed a slight lag, present only when I was typing at my fastest speeds. It wasn't a huge issue – I just slowed my typing slightly – but those that message regularly may find it frustrating. I didn't care for the way the navigation keys were positioned either. Instead of the separate keys found on the E71, the E73 uses one piece of plastic to define two buttons. I found myself avoiding the shortcut keys, opting to use the menu instead.
The Mode offers S60 3.2, but unlike the carrier-bloated software found on AT&T's Nokia E71x, the E73 Mode is relatively untouched, save for a few T-Mobile specifics like Visual Voicemail and TeleNav. The overall user interface (and software itself, for that matter) is antiquated, but it performs most of the tasks that its competitor does. The web browser works reasonably well and is based on WebKit architecture. As someone that's used to pinch-and-zoom and other user-friendly gestures, it's not a browser I could use for an extended period of time. Still, it should work well for casual web surfers.
The Mode offers a 5.0-megapixel camera, and in my testing, pictures came out well. I took the device out one evening, and was pleased with the low-light picture quality. In a neat little addition, the flash doubles up as a light that can be turned on and off via the space bar. Editing options include video mode, scene modes (automatic, user defined, close-up, portrait, landscape, sport, night, and night portrait), flash mode, self-timer (2-20 seconds), and sequence mode.
The Mode shines in the call quality department. In testing the unit in the Charlotte area, callers told me that they could hear me well. Signal strength is exceptionally strong on the E73 – in an area where I usually have no T-Mobile service, the E73 held onto one bar of service and maintained a clear connection. The earpiece on the Mode is loud, and reminds me of the clarity from the original DROID. In call quality tests, my callers said I sounded fantastic, with some unable to tell that I was talking on a cell phone. When placing the phone on speakerphone during a visit to my local coffee shop, I was able to hear my callers well, despite a loud crowd waiting in line. They immediately noticed the noise of the shop, but were able to hear me. I paired one of my Bluetooth headsets to the device, and it connected without any major issues.
The E73 packs a 1,500 mAh battery with estimated talk time at Battery life is spectacular. In an age where smartphones have trouble making it through a typical day, the Mode made it a day and a half with moderate use including calling, e-mailing, web browsing, use of data-heavy applications. In my unofficial side-by-side testing, overall battery life is better than most Android devices I've worked with, and slightly better than the iPhone 4. That being said, it's free of widgets and other things that drive battery life down on Android devices, so it's a tradeoff between features at the expense of battery life.
When compared to the recently launched Samsung Vibrant or other competitors like the EVO 4G, iPhone 4, or DROID X, the E73 can't compete. But it doesn't have to. In reality, the device (and its $69.99 price tag) is targeted at the low-end, first-time smartphone crowd. It's a fantastic follow-up to the Nokia E71, and perhaps more importantly, it's the first non-bloated E Series device that's available from a US carrier (E71x need not apply). Sure, S60 is a bit long in the tooth and can be frustrating for someone coming from a media-rich OS like Android, webOS, or iPhone, but it gets the job done. Bottom line – if you're looking for an inexpensive, well-built smartphone, you should check out the E73 mode.

If I Were 22: Travel And See How People Live
When I turned 22, I was struggling a bit. I was just two months into my first year at Harvard Medical School, and I had gone from an undergraduate environment at Brown University where I was an activist with a diverse group of peers to a situation where I was memorizing anatomy out of a textbook each and every night. It seemed a real letdown.
Over the next months and years, I met fellow activists including Paul Farmer, with whom I co-founded Partners In Health, and that opened up new possibilities. A few years later, I entered a PhD program in anthropology. Both connected the lessons from medical school to real passions of mine.
When I was 22, one thing naturally led to another. Even so, I wish I knew then what I understand better now about preparing myself for the future. I have three suggestions that I wish someone had told me when I was younger.

Climate change is the greatest long-term challenge facing the world today. It is nowĀ widelyĀbelieved that climate change is happening and that man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are its main cause.
The South West is not immune from the effects of climate change, and recent weather events suggest that it is in the front line of experiencing increasingly stormy and extreme conditions. The region can also play its part in helping to reduce man-made emissions of greenhouse gases.
The likely impacts of climate change on the trees, woods and forests of the South West has already been studied and a report sets out possible scenarios. Predicting climate change is not an exact science and further work will be needed to help owners and managers plan for the future.Ā
Adapting to the immediate and obvious impacts of climate change is a priority and practical advice has been produced that gives guidance to those who look after trees, woods and forests in the region. A leaflet (PDF 459KB)Āis available.
The Forestry Commission is at the forefront of national and international efforts to understand and respond to the effects of climate change on how trees woods and forests. The key issues and background are available on the Forestry Commission's Climate Change webpages.
Technical and scientific information is available from the Forest Research Climate Change website.
Many organisations in the South West are working together to help manage and adapt to the impacts of climate change and have formed a climate change impacts partnership (SWCCIP website).Ā
Mitigating, or reducing the causes of climate change is something we can all play our part in as individuals, communities and organisations by reducing our carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. Trees, woods and forests also have a role to play in mitigation. They do this by storing carbon in growing trees and soils, through woodfuel being used as a source of low carbon, renewable energy and through substituting for high energy materials in construction such as steel and concrete. See the Forestry Commission's website for guidance on woodfuel, and www.woodforgood.com for substitution.Ā
