A conceptual model of the food-energy-legislative triangle within the United States food industry is presented. The scope of the triangle is pictorially represented. Each apex of the triangle is defined and examples are given to illustrate the interrelationships among them. The triangle includes all nutritious and nonnutritious foods produced; all direct and indirect energy used to produce, process, distribute and consume foods and all food-related legislation. Recent examples were chosen to illustrate how changes in one apex of the triangle affect components of the other two apexes. An analogy was drawn between the Bermuda and food-energy-legislative triangles to illustrate that the level of apathy towards solving the Bermuda Triangle cannot be tolerated for the latter triangle. Recommendations are given for using sound resource management techniques to identify all interdependencies in the food-energy-legislative triangle and thus increase the effectiveness of national policies affecting the food industry.

Building sector in the United States is responsible for 41% of energy consumption, 73% of electricity consumption, and 14% of water consumption. Energy and water consumption of buildings can be significantly reduced by identifying and implementing green building upgrade measures based on available budgets especially in aging buildings which represent 70% of existing buildings in the United States. This paper presents the development of an optimization model that is capable of identifying the optimal selection of building upgrade measures to minimize energy and water consumption of existing buildings while complying with limited upgrade budgets and building operational performance requirements. This optimization model is designed to estimate building energy consumption using energy simulation software packages, is integrated with databases of building products, and performs analysis of replacing existing building fixtures/equipment and installing renewable energy systems during optimization computations to identify the replacement of building products that minimizes energy and water consumption. The model is designed to provide detailed results for building owners, which include specifications for the recommended upgrade measures and their location in the building; required upgrade cost; expected energy and water, operational, and life-cycle cost savings; and expected payback period.

Historically, the relationship between Mexico and the United States was one of respect, understanding, and cooperation. Geographic proxim¬ity demands that the two nations exist in harmony and collaborate to maintain a safe border and sustainable water consumption. However, with increasing frequency, the Department of Homeland Security challenges bi-lateral treaties entered into by Mexico and the United States. These treaties continue to face infringement as U.S. Presidents, past and present, build larger, longer south¬ern border walls. This article explores the federal laws supporting this border construction and further discusses the sparse caselaw examining constitutional challenges raised against the Department of Homeland Security regarding the Secretary’s waiver authority. Following this exploration, this study probes into the powers of treaty law as strong legal authority used to challenge and prevent future wall construction.
