"we make up about a third of the mass of all land vertebrates (based simply on body weight), and the handful of animal species we have engineered to become our food make up most of the other two thirds. Wild animals, pushed to the margins, constitute 5 percent or less. ..”

Cities and states are also members of international organizations. There are approximately 125 multilateral arrangements of subnational governments, including the Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) or the Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40). It is difficult to find a city with over 1 million inhabitants that doesn’t participate in international multilateral arrangements.

“80:20 rule”
Re-MIX use:: $10M per station
“[Who] ..thinks private automobiles will dominate the public realm in the next 100 years [?]. There’s an emphasis on quality of life …and the goal is to repurpose the transit system
Re-MIX use:: $360M per neighborhood
“The old formula for large residential project was luxury by aggregation... ““People today are interested in buildings that are connected to their environment and neighborhoods”

Healthcare “epidemic”? …1-in-2 are diabetic (T1D, T2D)
There's no question that diabetes is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States; in 2012, the disease cost the nation an estimated $245 billion in increased use of health resources and lost productivity.
CHINAChina has overtaken the USA in terms of diabetes prevalence:
Chinese diabetes population stands at some 114 million
…with half indicating pre-diabetes (493.4 million)!
China has the world’s largest diabetes epidemic

Most of us are aware that our cars, our coal-generated electric power and even our cement factories adversely affect the environment. Until recently, however, the foods we eat had gotten a pass in the discussion. Yet according to a 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), our diets and, specifically, the meat in them cause more greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and the like to spew into the atmosphere than either transportation or industry.
The FAO report found that current production levels of meat meat contribute betweenbetween 14 and 22 percent14 and 22 percent of the 36 billion tons of "CO2-equivalent" greenhouse gases the world produces every year. It turns out that producing half a pound of hamburger for someone's lunch a patty of meat the size of two decks of cards releases as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as driving a 3,000-pound car nearly 10 miles.
Meal-by-meal …better recipes?
