Center for Resource Solutions Confirms Greenberg Traurig as First Major Law Firm Certified by its Green-e® Energy Program

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The non-profit Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) confirmed that Greenberg Traurig is…

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The non-profit Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) confirmed that Greenberg Traurig is the first major law firm to be certified through its Green-e® Energy program. In addition, CRS has certified that Greenberg Traurig’s North American offices are powered by 100% renewable energy. The CRS Green-e® Energy program has been called the leading renewable energy certification program in the United States.

Going beyond North America, the global law firm’s 40 offices are now net carbon neutral with respect to its office energy usage, and are 100% powered by renewable energy, achieved by the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs). 

«These are significant steps in furthering our continuing sustainability initiative by reducing our carbon footprint,» said Greenberg Traurig Chief Executive Officer Brian L. Duffy.

«To achieve these milestones, we entered into a long-term transaction for the purchase of RECs and associated compliance premiums from a new wind farm and a new solar project. This has been a global effort,» said firm Shareholder Iskender «Alex» H. Catto, who leads the firm’s program and chairs its Power Industry Projects and Restructuring Practice.

The wind farm is currently in operation and the solar farm is expected to be operational prior to the end of 2020, Catto noted.

«This undertaking means that we are annually capable of offsetting up to 13 million kw/hours of global office electricity usage or its equivalent with clean, renewable energy,» Duffy said. «Our status benefits not only our planet but is also of direct benefit to many of our clients.»

As clients implement sustainability initiatives, they turn to look at the emissions in their supply chain. Greenberg Traurig, as a legal service provider, is a part of that supply chain. Therefore, Duffy said, the firm’s global net-carbon neutrality with respect to office energy usage allows clients to directly benefit by reporting reduced carbon emissions from within their supply chain.

«We did this because it is the right thing to do. We are a global law firm with both global and local clients. Carbon is a global issue that has both global and local impacts,» Duffy said.

Greenberg Traurig has approximately 2200 attorneys in 40 locations in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Web: www.gtlaw.com

BOSTON, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As the first snow storm of the season bore down on New England, leading automotive writers and video producers from the New England Motor Press Association and WheelsTV gathered via Zoom to select the recipient of the eleventh annual WheelsTV POV of the Year Award.

The WheelsTV POV of the Year, or POVY, is an international auto industry award presented annually to a pre-owned motor vehicle that has proven itself in day-to-day use for at least two years by providing dependable, trouble-free service and achieving exceptional consumer satisfaction.

The award, now in its eleventh year, is presented by WheelsTV, a leading producer of video test drive reports for new and pre-owned vehicles, in cooperation with the New England Motor Press Association. Nine diverse classes of vehicles are judged: Electrics, Hybrids, SUVs, Crossovers, Sporty Cars, Light Trucks, Small Cars, Family Cars and Luxury Cars. The POVY is selected by majority vote from the winners of each class.

After much spirited discussion, and with a nod towards the current snowy conditions in New England, the nine judges selected a vehicle that has proven itself in numerous northeast winters.

The 2015-2018 Subaru Outback was named the 2020 WheelsTV POV of the Year.

The Subaru Outback was a standout in the Crossovers class and went on to easily take the crown in overall judging. The fifth-generation Subaru Outback is now classified as a ‘crossover’, with the body and wheelbase set larger than previous models, a ground clearance of 8.7 inches that helps boost its utility in snow or mud and an optional 256 horsepower, 3.6 liter engine. In addition to being a great go-anywhere vehicle ideal for snowy New England winters or summer camping, the Outback is a Top Safety Pick of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and received five stars from National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

Members of the distinguished judging panel included these NEMPA members:

  • Lisa Brock, Executive Director at New England Motor Press Association
  • Peter Ciani, WheelsTV’s lead video test drive writer for Amazon Vehicles and auto dealerships across North America
  • Rick DeMeis, Host of «Rick’s Tech Talk» and «The Ride of the Week» on KOWS radio, Santa Rosa, CA.
  • Craig Fitzgerald, Writer of consumer news features for the Boston Globe, Forbes, Esquire, the Washington Post, Concord Journal and AAA Southern New England.
  • Bill Griffith, Freelance auto writer and photographer for the Boston Globe.
  • John Paul, President of New England Motor Press Association, AAA Northeast Consumer Advocate, weekly contributor to Boston.com, Providence Journal, New York Newsday, Car Doctor Radio Host.
  • Rich Taber, Co-founder of RPM News Weekly online automotive news and information.
  • John Zangari, Co-host of Drive-Thru Radio heard on WPRV 790-AM and 99.7 FM and WPRO 630 AM.
  • Jim Barisano, WheelsTV Producer and CEO.

When announcing the recipient of the POV of the Year, WheelsTV CEO Jim Barisano stated, «It’s no secret that you have to be tough to endure New England winters. I think that’s why the folks at NEMPA and WheelsTV chose the Subaru Outback. Like anyone who won’t back down from the toughest challenges, the Subaru Outback has proven itself to be reliable, hard working and ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at us. Congratulations to everyone at Subaru of America and to every New Englander who drives an Outback!»

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The head of the nation’s largest veterans’ organization called for Congress to override the president’s veto of  the National Defense Authorization Act.

The virtues of the NDAA have not changed since the president’s veto. We ask Congress to use the powers granted to it by the U.S. Constitution and override the president’s veto. Our troops deserve a pay raise and our Vietnam veterans continue to suffer the ill-effects of Agent Orange. The NDAA addresses these issues and much more.»

HOUSTON, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With more than 1.5 million new COVID cases reported in the last week alone, the Centers for Disease Control is urging Americans to celebrate the holidays at home to limit the spread of the virus. To help holiday travelers and college students returning home determine if they have been infected with the virus before gathering with people outside of their household, GMED Global, LLC, an international health care institution specializing in medical education and health care workforce development and solutions for government and non-government organizations, today announced updated holiday hours for rapid 3-in-1 COVID-19 and Influenza A and/or B testing at its three Rapid COVID Clinics. GMED encourages anyone who will be celebrating the holidays with people not in their immediate household to get tested first to limit the spread of the coronavirus. COVID testing is available at GMED’s two Houston locations and its clinic in Old Town Scottsdale by appointment, with results provided the same day.

«Last month, the CDC discouraged holiday travel and large gatherings, but large numbers of people continued to travel and celebrate Thanksgiving at big family gatherings,» said Dr. Ramin Ahmadi, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of GMED. «We recognize that COVID fatigue is real and people are eager to reconnect with family and friends. To limit the spread of COVID at a time when our healthcare resources are strained and our frontline workers are exhausted, we’re recommending that anyone celebrating the holidays with people outside of their household should first take a rapid 3-in-1 COVID and Influenza A and/or B test to ensure they’re healthy and limit the continued spread of the virus. Rapid COVID tests are a critical tool in identifying people who test positive for the virus so they can act quickly to isolate and prevent further spread of the disease.»

GMED’s Rapid COVID Clinic utilizes the rapid Sofia 2 Flu + SARS Antigen FIA test manufactured by Quidel, one of the few rapid antigen tests in the country, and approved for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The test includes a pain-free nasal swab that can be self-administered – minimizing the exposure between test takers and health care providers. This highly accurate 3-in-1 test directly detects the presence of COVID-19 and Influenza A and/or B and test results are returned the same day.

GMED’s rapid COVID testing locations and regular hours are as follows:
Houston/Westbury (5556 Gasmer Dr, Houston, TX 77035)

  • Monday-Friday 9 am – 7 pm
  • Saturday and Sunday 10 am – 4 pm

Houston/Kirby (3773 Southwest Fwy, Houston, TX 77027)

  • Monday-Friday 7 am – 6 pm
  • Saturday and Sunday 10 am – 3 pm

Phoenix/Old Town Scottsdale (6940 E. Indian School Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85251)

  • Testing by appointment only
  • Monday – Friday 7 am – 7 pm
  • Saturday and Sunday 9 am – 4 pm

All testing sites will be closing at 1 pm on December 24 (Christmas Eve) and will be closed on December 25 (Christmas Day). Next week, Rapid COVID Clinics will close at 1 pm on December 31 (New Year’s Eve) and will be closed on January 1 (New Year’s Day).

The test does not require a doctor’s referral. Individuals must schedule an appointment for the Phoenix testing site; Houston locations offer testing by appointment and on a drop-in basis. GMED also offers on-site COVID-19 screening to assisted living and nursing homes, area businesses, federal health clinics, and schools. Discounted rates are available to healthcare workers, dentists, law enforcement, first responders, flight crew, postal workers, and school employees with proper identification.

NEW DELHI, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Azure Power continues to work towards signing PPAs for the 4 GW manufacturing linked tender for which a Letter of Award («LOA») has already been received. The Solar Energy Corporation of India («SECI») has informed us that so far there has not been adequate response from the state electricity distribution companies («DISCOMs») for SECI to be able to sign the PSAs at this stage even though we have a LOA. SECI has mentioned that they will be unable to sign PPAs until PSAs have been signed, and they have committed to inform Azure Power of developments in their efforts with the DISCOMS.  Capital costs, interest rates and foreign exchange rates have improved since Azure Power won the 4 GW auction a year ago which have resulted in lower tariffs in other recent SECI auctions. We expect these savings likely will be passed on to state electricity distribution companies (DISCOMS). We expect a tariff markdown from the price discovered in the auction, which will facilitate signing of PSAs. We will continue our discussions with SECI towards signing PPAs in respect of the 4GW tender and expect the PPAs to be signed in tranches over a period of time. We will continue our policy to only take on contracts that create shareholder value and earn returns that are above our cost of capital.
