Energy from Waste (EfW) is utilised in many parts of the world as the primary method of municipal wastes management that also has the benefits of energy recovery and wastes sterilisation. It is a one of the levels on the wastes hierarchy and complements reuse and recycling.
In August 2008 the Noosa River Aust Bass spawned 2 million embryos and most developed with 2 heads and 2 hearts and died within 48 hours.
This year the Noosa River Sea mullet had severe deformities like the Noosa River Aust Bass with 2 and 3 heads then 2 and 3 tails. All the Noosa River Sea Mullet embryos died.
The travelling Noosa Mullet hatched but only a handful lasted a few weeks before dying. Without reproduction the river fish will all die out as no young ones will replace the adults.

To create a sustainable future we need to understand the silos that limit us, so we can escape them. This session explores why and how we build them in the first place..
The challenge of creating a sustainable future is so large and the nature of the problems so fundamental, it is critical that we break out of our current thinking to design new solutions.
'Escaping Silos' will showcase pragmatic examples of actions that have overcome change resistance and the elements that contributed to the breakthroughs; engaging business leaders, scientists, politicians and educators that are influencing sustainability within engineering. Local and global integrated solutions across professions, industry sectors and communities will be highlighted, addressing the impact of economic policy and social directions.
