Leanne Carrasco ordered 95 pizzas. The high school senior and her friends filled up goody bags and awaited a celebratory crowd. But this was not your typical graduation party.Carrasco didn't want that. Instead, she gave back with a pizza party at a homeless shelter for women and children in Houston, Texas."Not a lot of people have the same options as me. It's not fair," she told CNN. "There are a lot of people who need help. So I give it."It took her a month to prepareCarrasco had volunteered before, with her family, at the Star of Hope Family Development Center. But this time was different.She enlisted a bunch of her friends and got to work.In the month leading up to the party they collected toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand wipes and deodorant. They packed them into 400 hygiene bags to hand out to residents of the shelter.On Sunday, it was party time. The pizza was a hit, and so were the bags.But Carrasco and her friends gave the residents something more than just food and soap."They (the teens) had respect for the these people. They saw them as peers," said Scott Arthur, a spokesman for Star of Hope. "The residents saw this as a validation that people do care."For the shelter residents, it was a magical dayIn all Carrasco and her friends served about 200 people."It was a very magical day," Arthur said. "It gives you a hope for the youth of today. They (the high schoolers) were able to think of other people."Residents of the shelter gave Carrasco a standing ovation and lined up to hug her, moved by her compassion."I told her this was her final exam, and she got an A plus," Arthur said.But the praise won't go to Carrasco's head anytime soon. The graduating senior plans to enroll this fall at Briar Cliff University and study nursing."I think you should always know you're lucky to have what you have," she said. "Don't take that for granted and continue to give." 1902

It's possible April of 2019 will prove to be an historic month for renewable energy.For centuries, coal has been one of the primary sources of energy in the United States. But in recent years, energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro have been catching up.Bruce Bohannan is hoping his home will eventually be carbon neutral, which means it'd solely be powered by renewable energy. It's a process he started 10 years ago when he invested in solar panels. Bohannan’s house is not your average American house."You can see a little bit at the very top of the house, that was our first phase of solar panels," Bohannan said."I have a daughter who will outlive me into the world of the future, and I really put them on for my daughter's future... for her climate future," Bohannan added.A decade later, Bohannan is witnessing a change he had always hoped for to lower carbon emissions.In April -- for the first time in U.S. history -- forecasters say renewable energy sources generated more electricity than coal."It's an indicator of what's to come," Dennis Wamsted, an energy analyst for the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, said.His claim is based on a short-term forecast of data for the month of April. Date from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows renewable energy surpassing coal production. "The coal industry 10 years ago generated about 50 percent of the nation's electricity. And in the past 10 years that percentage has dropped from 50 percent to this year, EIA [Energy Information Administration] is saying about 24 percent," Wamsted said.Electricity generation can be broken into four main categories: Natural gas generates 35 percent of our electricity; coal generates 24 percent; nuclear power 20 percent; and renewable sources generate 18 percent (3 percent is other). The percentage for coal is predicted to decrease in the coming years, whereas renewable energy is expected to do the opposite. Wamsted predicts renewable energy will surpass coal for good in three years.“Coal's costs are going up, and renewable costs are going down which gives me a great deal of confidence that this transition is going to continue into the future," Wamsted said.So what happened in April that spiked renewable energy production? Wamsted says, think about the changing seasons.April is a big month for snow melt which powers hydroelectricity. In many places, there's often more wind in the springtime to power wind turbines. And solar energy increases in the spring with more direct daylight in the United States.The coal industry's production also plays a role. Many plants shut down for maintenance in the spring, since most people around the country aren't cranking up heat or the A.C.While this data signals a big milestone for renewables, it's not a total surprise. Clean energy is now cheaper than coal because technology has improved, and manufacturers are more efficient.Energy Program Director Rob Sargent with Environment America says the coal industry, on the other hand, is facing a grim future.“It's been declining steadily, and uh, coal plants are shutting down left and right. Nobody is building new ones," Sargent said.The possible end of the coal industry has many concerned for their livelihood, but there is hope for the American workforce.A report done by nonpartisan business group 'Environmental Entrepreneurs' shows nearly every U.S. state saw an increase in clean energy jobs last year. In fact, jobs involving renewable energy outnumbered fossil fuel jobs three to one, and employers expect job growth to continue. "There is no question that right now in America there are more jobs in the clean energy industry than there are in the fossil fuel industry," Sargent said.Change can be challenging, but Sargent believes the increase in clean energy positions will ease the transition into renewables as a staple provider of energy. And clean energy proponents like Bohannan are convinced the change is only for the better."Anything we can do to leave carbon in the ground is the right answer for the earth. We need to drastically stop emitting carbon if we're going to have a positive effect on our climate chances over the next 50 years," Bohannan said.The United States is not the first nation in this energy transition. Renewable energy has already surpassed coal in the United Kingdom, and the country expects coal-fired energy generation will be completely cut off by 2025. 4450

If you recently waited in a crowded doctor’s office or you’ve called to make an appointment and were told the next slot available is in several weeks or months, you’ve already experienced the effects of America’s doctor shortage.It's become more common for doctors, like New Jersey urologist Dr. Thomas Mueller, to practice with a packed patient schedule."The amount of patients we see is borderline insane," Mueller says.“I'll be the first one to say I don’t think it’s the best thing in the world," he says. "The things that I do to combat it is I just invest a lot of time beforehand.”Mueller and the team of physicians at Delaware Valley Urology each see upward of 50-60 patients a day.And that’s still not enough. "With the baby boomers becoming, you know, in their 70s, there are a lot of people to be seen," the doctor says. "The overall structure of medicine, at least as far as training is concerned, they’ve never really increased the enrollment in medical schools.”Unless significant steps are taken, the Association of American Medical Colleges predicts the shortage is only going to get worse.“I think I am at my max (amount of patients)," Mueller says. "I don’t think I can do a whole lot more."To help with the issue, legislators are proposing several bills that would raise grant money for more medical residency slots, and to make it easier for foreign doctors to practice in the U.S.In addition, medical schools have increased scholarships. Some have even created specific residency slots for those willing to practice in rural areas.“There are folks who think that there is a shortage," says Dr. Bob Motley. "I think we have as much of a problem with the maldistribution.”Motley runs Thomas Jefferson University's Physician Shortage Area Program. “We have about 50% of all physicians in Pennsylvania that are actually clustered in three counties," he says. "But 75% of Pennsylvanians actually live outside those areas.”Motley’s program has graduated roughly 400 doctors, and almost 80 percent are now practicing in rural communities hit the hardest by this doctor shortage."There's a lot to be learned in health care and we definitely have not figured it out," Mueller says. "It’s not a broken system by any stretch of the imagination but it’s things that are ever changing. And I think everyone is striving to make it better.”In addition to seeing 50 to 60 patients a day, Mueller also trains residents to handle the patient load as it is now."It's not for the faint of heart," he says. "But at the same time we do it because we love it.” 2571
