Every year, 1.6 million teens in the U.S. between the ages of 13-17 experience homelessness. And that number is twice as high for youth ages 18-25. For this population, every aspect of life is a struggle. Basics like what’s for dinner, where to find clean clothes or getting connected to wi-fi to finish homework are all daily hurdles. Homeless youth are also at a higher risk of becoming incarcerated and ending up chronically homeless. We speak with two experts in the field about how to solve this growing epidemic.

Roughly 30 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions produced in the U.S. comes from industry. This includes the manufacturing of consumer goods, textiles as well as the creation of building and chemical materials. Today, the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas still drive much of this production - even when there are clean, renewable energy sources waiting to be used. We speak with expert Jeffrey Rissman about the toll of these current practices and the failure to change within this sector.
