USW: Biden Administration Picks Demonstrate Pro-Worker Priorities

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — United Steelworkers (USW) International President Tom Conway issued the following statement today in response to the announcements that President-elect Joe Biden nominated Jennifer Granholm to serve as Energy Secretary and would name Gina McCarthy to serve as White House Climate Coordinator.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — United Steelworkers (USW) International President Tom Conway issued the following statement today in response to the announcements that President-elect Joe Biden nominated Jennifer Granholm to serve as Energy Secretary and would name Gina McCarthy to serve as White House Climate Coordinator.

«President-elect Joe Biden’s choices of Jennifer Granholm and Gina McCarthy to serve in his administration shows that he understands what’s at stake for working people as we seek to get the U.S. economy back on track.

«Both Granholm and McCarthy know that domestic manufacturing must be a priority and that it is necessary to balance environmental progress with preserving good-paying manufacturing jobs.

«Our union has worked closely with both appointees in the past through the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA) and other initiatives, and we are certain that they will keep American workers in the foreground as they begin their work.

«We are similarly confident that Ali Zaidi, Biden’s pick for Deputy White House Climate Coordinator, understands the intersection of good environmental policy and economic growth.

«Biden’s other choices, namely Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary, and Katherine Tai as United States Trade Representative, also reflect a pro-worker agenda.

«Yellen’s experience with the Federal Reserve, helping regrow our economy after the Great Recession, and Tai’s work to help ensure strong labor protections were a bedrock of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), suggest that they will continue prioritizing working people and their jobs.

«The Biden administration faces unique challenges as our country begins to put the Covid-19 pandemic behind us and we look to a future that ensures economic resiliency and shared prosperity. His nominees are well suited to the task.» 

The USW represents 850,000 workers employed in metals, mining, pulp and paper, rubber, chemicals, glass, auto supply and the energy-producing industries, along with a growing number of workers in health care, public sector, higher education, tech and service occupations.

Minneapolis Connects the Dots and Establishes Leadership in Building Climate Action

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The city of Minneapolis has instituted a new pilot incentive program to promote the construction of affordable housing to the Passive House Standard, to help meet the city’s climate emergency obligations.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The city of Minneapolis has instituted a new pilot incentive program to promote the construction of affordable housing to the Passive House Standard, to help meet the city’s climate emergency obligations.

On December 8, the Minneapolis City Council passed resolution No 2020R-353, titled Adopting a Sustainability Policy for City-supported one to three-unit new construction residential development. The resolution states in part «Whereas, buildings account for 71% of greenhouse gas emissions from Minneapolis: and Whereas, Climate Action Plan includes a strategy to «Require City-financed projects to meet an energy efficiency standard»;». The resolution acknowledges that to act on climate, a more rigorous building energy efficiency standard is needed.

To help implement this new resolution, the City’s Division of Sustainability partnered with the Community Planning & Economic Development department to establish a needs-based pilot program. The Office of Sustainability will provide additional financing beyond the Minneapolis Homes Financing program commitments, to projects that meet a higher efficiency standard. The pilot funding incentive can reach up to 20% of total development costs but is not to exceed $90,000 per unit.

One pathway to receive this funding is certification to the Passive House Standard, by the Passive House Institute (PHI).

«We commend the Minneapolis City Council and city agencies for their leadership in connecting the dots and showing how we can address our climate and social equity crises hand-in-hand,» said Tim Eian, a local architect and Passive House Minnesota leader. «We look forward to working with Minneapolis leadership to expand on this effort and bring the benefits of energy efficient, resilient, healthy buildings to all our neighbors across this great city.»

Essential to achieving this action Passive House Minnesota members worked to help educate policymakers, council staff and the public about the benefits of Passive House buildings. As a chapter of North American Passive House Network (NAPHN), Passive House Minnesota brought together not just critical local expertise but knowledge and experience from across the US and from around the world.

«Many cities and states have aggressive carbon reduction policy goals in place, but so far few have connected the dots to the implementation of solutions like Passive House to drive down emissions, support affordability and enhance occupant health.» said NAPHN Board Chair, Bronwyn Barry. «To minimize fossil fuels and electrify effectively, our top priority must be on dropping energy demand. Passive House delivers that. Minneapolis is taking an important first step in this direction.»

The Passive House Standard results in high-quality affordable housing – providing occupant comfort, indoor air quality and resilience, while drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and associated ongoing utility bills.

About Passive House Minnesota (PHMN):
PHMN is a state-wide group of Passive House professionals and practitioners who aim to educate about and promote the Passive House building energy standard. PHMN is based in Minneapolis and is a chapter of the NAPHN.

About NAPHN:
The North American Passive House Network (NAPHN) is an independent national non-profit educational organization, based in New York, and affiliated with the International Passive House Association (iPHA) and the Passive House Institute (PHI), located in Darmstadt, Germany.

NAPHN has chapters based in New Jersey (http://www.njpassivehouse.com), Washington DC (http://www.naphnetwork.org), the Rocky Mountain Region (http://www.phrockymountains.com), Minnesota (http://www.passivehouseminnesota.org) and Western Pennsylvania (http://www.passivehousewpa.com).

NAPHN supports the widespread adoption of the international Passive House design and construction standards, building science principles and protocols, as a critical response to our climate crisis – providing unparalleled effectiveness in mitigating climate disruptions and adapting to rapidly changing environmental conditions.

NAPHN is focused on the inflection point between policy and implementation. We partner with leading stakeholders across all building sectors, including governments, professional associations, manufacturers, owners, builders, labor organizations, and educational institutions – to make the transformation complete. http://www.naphnetwork.org

About Passive House:
Passive House is an international building standard and methodology, applicable to buildings of all kinds from office buildings to hospitals, new-build and renovations, that results in a dramatic
drop in operational energy use, and more comfortable and healthy occupants – meant to aggressively mitigate our climate crisis while providing resilient adaptation.

The Passive House Standard was developed by the Passive House Institute (PHI), an independent scientific research organization, located in Darmstadt, Germany, and includes specific requirements for energy use and comfort of occupants. The Passive House Standard is being successfully applied to thousands of buildings and millions of square feet around the world, from Boston to Beijing.

The Passive House methodology starts with reducing cooling, dehumidification and heating loads by focusing, not on gadgets and active technology, but instead on fully integrated durable passive building components, such as proper continuous thermal-bridge-free insulation, continuous airtightness, high-performance windows and doors, and ventilation that includes a high-efficiency heat/energy recovery core, carefully calculated, and all integrated with the entire architectural process of design and construction. http://www.passivehouse.com http://www.passipedia.org

Global Commercial Turboprop Market Outlook Report 2020: Opportunities in Airframe Design, Disruptive Propulsion System, VTOL Capability, Partnerships, Region-Centric Supply Chain, Training, and MRO

DUBLIN, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The

DUBLIN, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Transformative Propulsion Systems Powering the Global Commercial Turboprop Market Outlook» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

For years, turboprops have established themselves as the smallest link to the airline routing structure. Although infamous in any airline fleet for the noise, lack of speed, and engine vibrations, turboprops remain the most reliable and cost-efficient solution to provide passenger services to rural areas and secluded destinations. Their versatility and maneuverability make turboprops the only aircraft type capable of serving geographically restricted areas that jets find hard to reach.

The diminished popularity of turboprop aircraft in more developed markets like the United States has left turboprop manufacturers reliant on less developed regions. One contributor to the downturn is the visible and unappealing spinning propeller located just a few feet away from the cabin windows.

Operators are also burdened with aircraft that do not meet typical baggage handling and passenger boarding and deplaning standards. There have been almost no improvements or disruptive changes to the turboprop market in the last 30 years. This will change in the next couple of years, giving renewed hopes in a market that needs a revamped image to regain a spot in the airline’s fleet structure.

After reviewing this document, readers will have a clear picture of the turboprop market, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the leading OEMs, and the disruptive technologies expected to penetrate the industry in the next 10 years.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The United States Council for International Business (USCIB) issued a statement today by its President and CEO, Peter Robinson, commending the nominations of Michael Regan, for Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and Brenda Mallory to lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). 

«USCIB members are strongly committed to advancing environmental protection through innovation and investment in the global marketplace. We believe that EPA and CEQ play crucial roles in shaping U.S. international environmental policy, not just in connection with climate change but in other priority areas, such as pursuing nature-based solutions, circular economies and responsible chemicals risk management.  2021 will be a year of important decision-points in the multilateral system, looking ahead to the fifth UN Environment Assembly and eventual thirty-year anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit; vigorous U.S. engagement in those deliberations will be vital for economic prosperity and environmental stewardship at home and abroad.

«USCIB sees opportunities to pursue synergies across international and domestic actions for enhanced environmental benefits, and advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), delivering a recovery that improves environmental quality, creates jobs and stimulates public-private partnerships.  Since 1992, USCIB has represented U.S. business in support of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Paris Agreement.  In addition, USCIB has been the voice of American business at the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), and other multilateral environmental deliberations and forums.  USCIB is fully committed to international cooperation and to partnership with our government to advance American private sector-driven economic prosperity and environmental stewardship at home and abroad. In our view, it is critical to continue to focus on and champion substantive engagement of U.S. business across the UN system on key environmental topics.

«USCIB and its members are ready to assist the incoming Administration to develop and implement market-oriented environmental solutions and measures, working with the international community and in consultation with the American private sector.  As the U.S. affiliate of Business at OECD (BIAC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the International Organization of Employers (IOE), and with its own standing at the UNFCCC, UNEP and at the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), USCIB is uniquely placed to scale and amplify these opportunities across the UN system, and in the OECD and the WTO.»

Its members include U.S.-based global companies and professional services firms with operations in every region of the world. As the U.S. affiliate of leading international business organizations and as the sole U.S. business group with standing in ECOSOC, USCIB provides business views to policy makers and regulatory authorities worldwide, and works to facilitate international trade and investment.

The signs include educational information on how storm water runoff, swales and berms, watersheds, retention ponds and pollutants can affect our environment and drinking water sources. The original signs were installed through a partnership between the Southwest Florida Water Management District and Pinellas County more than 15 years ago.

Keep Pinellas Beautiful will use $10,000 in grant funding to re-envision its education and outreach efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic through its «Crafting a Resilient Environmental Education Program in a COVID World» program. It will create new, flexible, scalable programming to ensure a wider variety of ways to participate, including small-group and virtual learning.

Keep Pinellas Beautiful’s Environmental Education Program includes K-12 educational curriculum on watershed health, water quality, source water health and habitat improvement. For 2021, Keep Pinellas Beautiful will be broadening its reach within the community by creating four umbrella categories – virtual education, experiential learning, grassroots efforts, and its ambassador program and youth outreach.

Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful will use $10,000 in grant funding to create a distance learning video production room as part of its Environmental Education Program to support education initiatives and presentations to school groups and community groups. This project helps Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful adapt to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The distance learning video production facility will be in its Environmental Education Center where it can continue its programming through virtual learning with pre-recorded lessons and live streams. This provides opportunities for Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful to reach more students, including virtual school students.

Pinellas County Schools will use $3,400 in grant funding to create a Florida-friendly Pollinator Garden at the Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg focusing on water conservation and minimal pesticide use. The garden will be coupled with the city of St. Petersburg’s Rain Barrel Education and Composting programs. The garden will contain educational programming to more than 4,000 students each school year in addition to more than 80,000 park visitors. Students and park patrons will have access to environmental education programming to help them understand the correlation between pesticide use and the use of native plants and how this helps to protect our water resources.

Pasco County School District will use a $20,000 sponsorship to fund its environmental education program. The school district has an agreement with Pinellas County to use the Cross Bar Ranch Education Center for in-field instruction for environmental education students. Students in the 7th grade Watershed Ambassador’s Program use the Cross Bar Ranch site to support water resource education. The program runs from September to June of each school year.

Pandemic-related restrictions required the school district to adapt and mobilize the program to continue. Funding from Tampa Bay Water goes to equipment and supplies, transportation costs, and environmental program resource teacher salary costs. This year, all students will continue to study water and will receive learning opportunities through the H2O Science project that includes conducting water quality tests using water samples collected from various sources at Cross Bar and Starkey Park. This data will allow students to make informed decisions about the necessity of maintaining pristine areas to guarantee the viability of our water supplies.

The Glazer Children’s Museum will use a $10,000 sponsorship for its Source Water Protection for Families project. The Wild Kratts®: Creature Power! exhibit, coming to Glazer Children’s Museum in January through May 2021, focuses on cultivating STEM skills in children ages 3 to 9, and invites families to explore animal habitats from around the world, discover incredible creature powers, and go on adventures. Guests will have the opportunity to explore different animal habitats including those located within local neighborhoods.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the Source Water Protection for Families project will feature daily programming with education about Florida’s diverse animal habitats, the importance of water to their existence, and their interconnectedness. As a feature within the curriculum, source water protection programming focused on conservation, preservation, and protection will be provided daily for families in the family play project area. The programming will be a strong unifying thread across the museum’s digital platforms – Zigazoo, Canvas, Facebook, GCM@Home and Twitter. Additionally, the museum will create a digital field trip experience that takes place in the Wild Kratts® exhibit as well as in key parts of the educational exhibits, including Water’s Journey. This experience will focus on educating students about the importance of protecting and maintaining our drinking water sources and will be shared with local schools.

About the Source Water Protection Mini-grant Program
Tampa Bay Water’s Source Water Protection Mini-grant program is an important component of the utility’s outreach and education efforts for source water protection. A major line of defense in protecting drinking water sources is public awareness and support. Non-profit groups, schools and community groups are eligible to apply for mini grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000. Funds for these activities are approved by the Tampa Bay Water’s Board of Directors each year through its budget. Eligible projects must relate to protecting regional drinking water supplies such as education programs, workshops, exhibits, school activities, awareness campaigns and river cleanups.

About Tampa Bay Water
Tampa Bay Water is the largest wholesale water supplier in Florida, providing high-quality drinking water to its members, who in turn, supply water to more than 2.5 million residents of the Tampa Bay area. Tampa Bay Water’s member governments include Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties and the cities of New Port Richey, St. Petersburg and Tampa.

While REVERB Downtown Atlanta will be a historic, first-of-its-kind hotel opening for the brand, and it will showcase many signature features, designed in partnership with Gensler, which guests can expect across all forthcoming REVERB properties. With an open layout and welcoming vibe for all who walk through the front doors, REVERB guests will notice ties to the local communities weaved throughout each individual property, paying tribute to the talent and music fans who make each city unique. Key features at each REVERB by Hard Rock property that opens nationwide will include a wide range of state-of-the-art amenities including:

CITY GUIDES: To help travelers get a true taste of the local scene, Hard Rock went directly to city experts to curate drink, dining and entertainment guides. Kicking off at REVERB Downtown Atlanta with the city’s resident seven-time GRAMMY® Award-winning, RIAA diamond-certified musician Big Boi and five-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and Atlanta native CeeLo Green, as well as Larkin Poe and Microwave, guests will be the first to experience REVERB’s proprietary City Guide featuring these artists’ favorite locations throughout the city. To hear City Guide recommendations, guests are encouraged to utilize in-room Amazon Alexa features to ask for local hot spots from hometown music stars. As REVERB properties continue to launch in bustling cities nationwide, Hard Rock will remain steadfast in its commitment to working with local artists to curate City Guides.

PUBLIC SPACES: Upon entry, REVERB guests are met by an open, spacious floor plan that encourages conversations, collaboration and creativity. Centrally located in the lobby, Constant Grind Coffee & Bar is a café by day serving premium Lavazza coffee, and a bar serving a curated selection of wines, local craft beers and spirits by night. The kitchen offers hot food from 6 a.m. through 11 p.m., as well as delicious salads, sandwiches and wraps from the Grab n Go 24/7. The lobby is a place where locals and guests can come together to relax, join friends, grab a cocktail or watch an acoustic performance. As an added layer to the lounge, REVERB Downtown Atlanta grants guests full access to REVERB Radio – Hard Rock’s take on the classic boardroom designed to resemble a radio station that is available for meetings, recording podcasts or as a home to a satellite radio station – plus co-working spaces and private sanctuaries, such as Sound Booths, soundproof rooms equipped with a Fender guitar for personal jam sessions or a quite space for private calls. A designated performance area will host live music multiple times a week to shine a light on local talent, and the RT60 rooftop lounge is also available for guests to enjoy.

HOTEL AMENITIES, ROOM FEATURES AND OFFERINGS: Each REVERB hotel features a unique property mix of king, double queen and Roadie Bunk Rooms, all of which include stylish and comfortable furnishings, fan-inspired artwork, workspaces and oversized showers with premium bath products.

Guests can also take advantage of three unique ways to check in upon arrival, including a self-service kiosk, personal mobile devices or with REVERB’s Crew at the front desk.

SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS: All REVERB locations will do their part in the fight for a greener planet, starting with the reduction of water usage by way of low flow fixtures such as faucets, showerheads and toilets. Most notably, Dasani® PureFill dispensers provide guests the opportunity to mix and match preferred water flavorings, as well as access to purified water, both still and sparkling. In each room, guests will find a complimentary biodegradable water bottle that can be filled at any of the seven Dasani PureFill stations featured throughout the property. Implemented in partnership with The Coca-Cola Company, the Dasani PureFill dispensers are a first-of-its-kind-offering within the hotel industry that is currently exclusive to REVERB. Each room is also collateral free, meaning there is no unnecessary waste. Rooms are equipped with premium bath product dispensers to avoid single use shampoos, conditioners and lotions, as well as smart room controls for air conditioning and lighting to conserve energy by automatically turning off when leaving the room.

REVERB by Hard Rock will implement Hard Rock’s SAFE + SOUND program to ensure that guests can enjoy their hotel experience in a safe and sanitary environment. Hard Rock International partnered with world-renowned public health and safety organizations like EcoSure, an Ecolab Division, and NSF International, formerly known as the National Sanitation Foundation, to ensure its properties are SAFE + SOUND, meeting the highest standards of safety, sanitation, food handling and team member training. The enhanced SAFE + SOUND safety protocol includes, but is not limited to procedures such as a state-of-the-art, non-intrusive thermal temperature screening process before entering, social distancing measures and protective mask requirements for all team members.
