Study finds greener cities could benefit human health, save thousands of lives

BOSTON - A new study finds that increased green spaces in cities could benefit a person’s health and subsequently reduce mortality rates among older adults. According to the study, published earlier this month in "Frontiers in Public Health," researchers found that between 34,000-38,000 deaths in people 65 and older could have been reduced between 2000 to 2019 if "greenness" increased by 0.1 units in U.S. metropolitan areas.In addition, approximately 15 to 20 deaths per 10,000 people in the age group could be reduced with an increase in vegetation.Researchers at Harvard and Boston University’s School of Public Health focused their analysis on 35 metropolitan cities, along with people aged 65 and older in order to more easily quantify the potential reductions in mortality in a generally vulnerable population.For the study, the team utilized publicly available population data from the U.S.

Pennsylvania house votes against taking up gun bill after Texas killings

(Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) HARRISBURG - An effort by Democratic lawmakers in Pennsylvania to ban owning, selling or making high-capacity, semi-automatic firearms went nowhere Wednesday as state House Republicans again displayed their firm opposition to gun restriction proposals.The state House of Representatives voted 111-87 against the effort by Democratic Rep. Danielle Friel Otten of Chester County to take up the bill after Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff argued it should have to go through a committee first.The bill has spent more than a year in the Judiciary Committee, where Chairman Rob Kauffman, R-Franklin, has bottled up most proposals to regulate or restrict firearms.During floor debate, Otten said the massacre of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday created a "moral obligation to act, today, before this happens one more time."Minority Leader Joanna McClinton, D-Philadelphia, listed communities across Pennsylvania that have recently been the site of gun violence.The bill would not apply retroactively and result in people losing firearms they already lawfully bought, McClinton said.Benninghoff, R-Centre, responded that because of the "magnitude" of the proposal it "needs to be vetted through the committee process" so that lawmakers can "get it right."Just one Republican, Rep.

(Stephanie Keith/Getty Images) WASHINGTON - With Congress deadlocked over how to address racism and excessive use of force, President Joe Biden plans to sign an executive order on policing Wednesday, the second anniversary of George Floyd's death.The decision reflects Biden's struggle to use the limited powers of his office to advance his campaign promises, as well as his attempt to strike a balance between police and civil rights groups at a time when rising concerns about crime are eclipsing calls for reform.Most of the order is focused on federal law enforcement agencies — for example, requiring them to review and revise policies on use of force.
