SUMMARY:Waste Awareness Week: Environmental Art Show
DESCRIPTION:wasteawarenessweek.com\n—\nWaste Awareness Week is a week-long sustainability event that specifically tackles the impact of waste mismanagement on the environment. The Renewable Energy Association at UCLA\, along with a number of sustainability\, environmental justice\, food insecurity\, and artistic organizations\, are collaborating to create a number of events that: \n1. Expose students to the gravity and scale of the global waste crisis\n2. Discuss the various social\, economic infrastructural and environmental causes and consequences of the crisis\n3. Empowers students to make informed decisions and lifestyle changes that can mitigate this crisis. \nThe week will consist of a large variety of events that will appeal to all corners of our diverse campus. From interactive games\, workshops and panels\, to collaborative art shows\, movie screenings and a gala dinner\, Waste Awareness Week hopes to engage all students and push them to think more critically about their waste generation habits\, the single-use culture and linear economic systems that enable them\, and the out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality that blinds them to the true consequences of this global crisis. By collaborating with a large number of student groups\, we also hope to plug UCLA students into the community of organizers who are working relentlessly on this issue\, and tackling it from every possible facet.

SUMMARY:Street Plants: Wild Flora of Los Angeles Discussion
DESCRIPTION:UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden and LENS (Laboratory for Environmental Narratives Strategies) invite you to Street Plants: Wild Flora of Los Angeles Discussion \n\nCities may seem to be solely the work of humans—right down to the urban landscape of street trees\, ornamental plantings\, and manicured lawns that were put in place by human hands. But wild plants spread through the landscape without any human help\, forming a ubiquitous botanical backdrop that exists at the fringes of most concepts of nature. Join Evan Meyer\, Assistant Director of the UCLA Botanical Garden\, for a discussion of the wild flora of inner-city Los Angeles. \nThis event is free\, but space is limited. RSVP at uclabotanical.eventbrite.com.

Expose students to the gravity and scale of the global waste crisis\n2. Discuss the various social\, economic infrastructural and environmental causes and consequences of the crisis\n3. Empowers students to make informed decisions and lifestyle changes that can mitigate this crisis. \nThe week will consist of a large variety of events that will appeal to all corners of our diverse campus. From interactive games\, workshops and panels\, to collaborative art shows\, movie screenings and a gala dinner\, Waste Awareness Week hopes to engage all students and push them to think more critically about their waste generation habits\, the single-use culture and linear economic systems that enable them\, and the out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality that blinds them to the true consequences of this global crisis. By collaborating with a large number of student groups\, we also hope to plug UCLA students into the community of organizers who are working relentlessly on this issue\, and tackling it from every possible facet. As the university approaches the deadline of our zero waste by 2020 goal\, we hope that this event will be the final catalyst that empowers our community to meet this goal\, and allows us all to live more sustainably at UCLA and beyond. \nEVENTS OF THE WEEK:\nMONDAY JAN. 14\nPlay World Waste Quiz and Decomposition Game on Bruin Walk from 10AM-4PM!

SUMMARY:Impact Spotlight / Good Health and Well-being - Dr. Rishi Manchanda of HealthBegins
DESCRIPTION:This talk is brought to you as part of our Impact Spotlights on the UN Sustainable Development Goals – Goal #3: Good Health and Well-Being. \nGenetic makeup only determines thirty percent of health outcomes. Social\, physical and economic environments determine the rest. Factors such as housing status\, employment\, walkability\, air quality\, socioeconomic status\, and food security collectively make up what are known as the social determinants of health\, and play a huge role in influencing our health. \nHear from the founder of HealthBegins on how the company is redefining clinical-community partnerships and investing in the social determinants of health to create positive outcomes for all. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Rishi Manchanda\, MD\, MPH\nFounder & CEO\, HealthBegins \nDr. Rishi Manchanda is a physician\, author\, and health care leader who has spent more than a decade developing novel strategies to improve health in resource-poor communities. He has served as director of social medicine for a network of community health centers in South-Central Los Angeles\, as the lead primary care physician for homeless veterans at the Greater Los Angeles VA\, and as chief medical officer for a self-insured employer with a large rural immigrant workforce. In his 2013 TED Book\, The Upstream Doctors\, he introduced readers to the upstreamists\, a new model of healthcare workers who improve care by addressing patients’ health-related social needs\, such as food\, financial\, and housing insecurity. The book has become recommended reading in medical schools and universities across the world.
