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.

Migrant students– whose families move across the state or country seeking seasonal or temporary work in the agricultural, dairy, fishery, or cannery industries—are among those most vulnerable for poor health outcomes. Learn about a new community-based project that is working to improve migrant students and their families’ understanding, access, and utilization of healthcare, specifically around oral health and nutrition. We’ll be sharing lessons learned from the project, and discuss how they can inform replication of this model in communities across California.

C ommentaries Ending Childhood Poverty in America 0c— Marian Wright Edelman From the Children’s Defense Fund, Washington, DC The author reports no conflicts of interest. Address correspondence to Marian Wright Edelman, Children’s Defense Fund, 25 E St NW, Washington, DC 20001 (e-mail: [email protected] childrensdefense.org). A cademic Pediatrics 2016;16:S6-S7 SARAH IS 3 years old. She and her 6-year-old brother, Bryce, are inseparable except when it’s time for him to visit the summer food program that provides meals at a school near their Ohio home for children who otherwise would go hungry. Sarah’s too young to make the trip. One morn ing after Bryce had his fill of food for the day he made a detour before heading home. He walked to the trash cans and began rummaging through food others threw away. Winnie Brewer, the Food Services Supervisor in Marion City Schools, noticed the little boy and tapped him on the shoulder to ask why he was sifting through the garbage. “My little sister,” he explained. “She's hungry.” Bringing her leftover food was the only way he knew to help. “We run into a lot of situations where kids will come and say they have younger siblings at home,” Brewer says. “They always want to know if they can take something back.” After Brewer spoke with Bryce, staff members fol lowed him home with a care package for little Sarah. This was a temporary solution to a huge problem Brewer worries about every day. “Until we see that child digging food out of a trash can, it doesn’t hit home,” Brewer says. “When it does, you know you have to do something.” Sarah and Bryce (not their real names) are far from alone. Hunger is only one of the dangerous risks of growing up poor in rich America. Despite 6 years of economic re covery, children remain the poorest group in America and the younger they are the poorer they are. The United States has the second highest child poverty rate among 35 industrialized countries despite having the largest econ omy in the world. More than 1 in 5 children in America (21.1%) were living in poverty in 2014, compared with 13.5% of people ages 18 to 64 years and 10% of those aged 65 years and older. Nearly 1 in 4 children younger than the age of 5 years (23.8%) are poor during some of the years of greatest brain development. Seventy percent of the 15.5 million poor children in America were children of color— who already constitute most of our nation’s youngest children and will be the majority of all the chil dren in our nation by 2020. Poverty hurts children, creates opportunity gaps that can last a lifetime, and hurts the nation’s economy. The toxic stress of early poverty stunts children’s emotional and physical development and increases the likelihood of poor academic achievement and dropping out of high school, which then increases the likelihood of unemploy ment, economic hardship, and involvement in the criminal justice system as an adult. These effects ...

ILO’s most recent estimates show that if policy measures to facilitate a green transition are taken, 8.4 million jobs may be created for young people by 2030, primarily because green investments can often be more labour-intensive than unsustainable investments. For green economies to produce increased employment opportunities for young people, it is imperative for young women and men to acquire the right skills and competencies and to be appropriately prepared to take up green jobs on offer. As young people are often motivated by the aspiration to make a positive impact on society, including a green transition, these skills for green jobs have the potential to generate an influence beyond the green economy, and into the broader social realm (e.g., social protection, social inclusion, social dialogue, etc.)

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 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.

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.
