The recent trend towards purchasing more “green” products and services is undeniable. A recent Nielsen global online study from 2015 found Millennials continue to be most willing to pay extra for sustainable offerings—almost three-out-of-four respondents in the latest findings. Unfortunately, being more environmentally conscious has a perception of being very expensive which had acted as a demotivation to becoming greener for those who have tight budgets. The fact is there are many ways to help the environment while saving money. In some cases, these steps do not require to spend any money to begin.

Reused water is currently used for irrigation, non-potable applications, replenishing aquifers, just to name a few but there has a firm resistance to provide drinking water to the public from water reused from non-potable applications. The issue is not with the technologies but with the perception of "Toilet-to-Tap” water by the public. In some places, reduced water availability in tandem with an increase in population may require a fundamental shift in thinking if we want to ensure everyone’s' drinking water requirements will be met in the future.

The years of hard work you have invested in completing your chemical engineering degree are about to come to fruition. In the past many chemical engineers were employed in fields such as oil/gas or biotech. Others have chosen to pursue advanced degrees.

The question of whether nuclear power should be adopted as a technology to produce clean energy along with wind and solar has been hotly debated for years. In fact, during last years’ COP21 meeting in Paris the debate over whether nuclear power should be part of the climate change solution was almost enough to distract the attendees from the true goal of the meeting which was to come to an agreement to carbon dioxide reducing targets. Amazingly, beneath the surface both the pro and anti-nuclear communities have more in common than you would think.

The green living trend is sweeping the nation, and senior housing facilities are no exception. It’s not just about enticing earth-conscious baby boomers, though their desire to leave a greener world behind certainly factors into the design for many forward thinking senior facilities. Going green helps cut the heating and cooling costs, improve water conservation efforts, and meet Energy Star standards across all of the devices used in the facility. Most importantly, green living is an enabler of the high quality life style which seniors through their lifetime of hard work have earned.

There is a close connection, or nexus, between energy and water. It takes a significant amount of water to create energy. Energy is also used in great quantities during the supply and treatment of waste water. For the year 2011 in the United States electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear energy required 190 billion gallons of water a day accounting for 39% of all the freshwater withdrawals while 4% off all power generation was used for water supply and treatment. Water and energy problems are connected to each other in such a way that, in spite of some partial and short-term success, partial responses are bound to fail in the long-term. Water and energy policy, planning and management must be integrated to encourage conservation, motivate innovation and ensure sustainable use of water and energy. Hear about how interconnection of water and energy and how these two resources will be intertwined forever.

Gartner estimates a typical family home could contain more than 500 smart devices by the year 2022. These devices, which will be a major part of the Smart Homes of the future, could revolutionize the way we live in our homes. The recent drought has caused homeowners to re-evaluate the most efficient method of managing water use in their homes. The remote capability to operate a Grey Water Diverter Valve poses a glimpse into the possibility of the impact Smart Homes will have in the future as well as sustainable living practices.

The recent drought has prompted Governor Brown to enact mandatory water restrictions for the first time in the history of the state of California. With no end to the drought in sight and the level of the state’s reservoirs being at their lowest levels in decades everyone will need to take steps to conserve this precious resource. Grey Water systems have recently been proposed as a method where home owners can help conserve water by using reclaimed water produced by laundry, sinks and bathtubs in non-potable applications such as irrigation or flushing toilets
