How 400 Year Old Blood Taxis Created A $5.7 Trillion Industry

LONDON, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nearly 400 years ago, a French businessman may have launched the start of an estimated $5.7 trillion industry, the estimate of value that Uber puts on all passenger vehicle miles and all public transportation miles in all countries globally. Mentioned in today’s commentary includes: Uber…

LONDON, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nearly 400 years ago, a French businessman may have launched the start of an estimated $5.7 trillion industry, the estimate of value that Uber puts on all passenger vehicle miles and all public transportation miles in all countries globally. Mentioned in today’s commentary includes: Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).

At the time, many elites used his «fiacres» to move around Paris secretly and commit illegal acts without gaining attention. But today, it’s led to an industry that’s revolutionized the way people around the world work and travel every day…

By 2021 giving over 540 million people the ability to catch a ride anywhere they’d like at a moment’s notice, without owning their own vehicle. That’s why Uber has seen shares jump 149% since earlier this year…And Lyft shares soared 170% over that time…

All during the biggest pandemic in over a century, which has forced many to stay home and avoid using transportation as a service. But the industry Uber took over just a decade ago is now set to be changed yet again…By a $30 trillion mega-trend that’s been slowly building over the last several years.

All the biggest names are pouring money into it as well. Goldman Sachs started a $1.5 billion fund in this area, which is becoming a go-to for major companies like Apple and JetBlue Airways. Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, just devoted $10 billion to the mega-trend. And BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, plans to have $1.2 trillion in ESG assets within the next 10 years. 

In the coming months and years, it could lead to the biggest revolution in transportation since the invention of the Model T. And one company from Canada’s Silicon Valley is matching the ESG trend to the next generation of transportation: Facedrive (FD; FDVRF).

This $30 Trillion Mega-trend is Taking Over the Markets

ESG investing – the ethical and eco-friendly investing trend – has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. Even with the stock market plummeting earlier this year with the start of the pandemic, ESG funds held their own and later continued to soar.  This is why many of the biggest names in Wall Street have started investing so heavily in this mega-trend. 

BlackRock has been quick to jump on the trend, already having over $90 billion in ESG assets to date. But they’re planning to more than 10x that number over time, as they’ve announced they plan to boost that to $1.2 trillion by the year 2030.

They’re not alone though. Many across Wall Street and beyond are touting the massive potential they see for the ESG mega-trend in the days ahead.

Nigel Green, the CEO of the deVere Group, says that the global pandemic has only accelerated this trend and that ESG investing is moving toward a «skyward surge.» And Financial News recently touted that the pandemic is «fuelling an unprecedented explosion in ESG investing.»

The brains behind Facedrive saw this trend coming and, through next-gen technology and partnering with environmental agencies, positioned themselves to lead the pack. They give riders the choice to hail a ride from an electric, hybrid, or gas-powered vehicle, all without paying an extra premium for the option. After the ride, their in-app algorithm calculates how much CO2 was created for each journey, and sets aside a portion of the fare to offset the carbon footprint – planting trees to do it.

That puts Facedrive squarely in the middle of two megatrends. The estimated $5.7 trillion transportation service industry… and big money’s shift into sustainable investing, already over $30 trillion as of 2018.

Big Names are Helping them Expand Worldwide

With the amount of money behind this growing ESG trend, it’s no surprise Facedrive is already making connections with major players around the world. Facedrive (FD; FDVRF) is aiming to become a household name, and Will Smith’s Bel Air Athletics clothing brand is betting big on them as the ride of the future. And it’s clear that with this partnership, Facedrive isn’t just focused on delivering a ride from point A to point B. 

They’re aiming to become a brand name that spans far beyond that. They’ve taken a creative approach in creating TraceSCAN – a wearable technology used to help slow or stop the spread of the coronavirus through contact tracing.

The Government of Ontario recently announced they’re endorsing and supporting the deployment of this breakthrough technology. And, even Air Canada – the largest airline in the country – has started a pilot project with Facedrive to provide their employees with the technology to help curb the spread of the virus.

Loads of Different Streams of Revenue

Facedrive (FD; FDVRF) is quickly becoming a one-stop-shop for all your car transportation needs, but they’re also aiming to be much more than that.

With their commitment to «people and planet first» that goes beyond just ridesharing…It’s opened the door for plenty of new streams of revenue through partnerships and acquisitions, which they call Facedrive Verticals.

During a year where many companies are struggling to stay afloat, they’ve managed to find creative opportunities to expand their business worldwide. And with the addition of several new verticals, Facedrive is bringing in new revenue from all angles.

A Better Solution for Both Drivers and Passengers

Even with a massive $30 trillion trend and A-list celebrities behind your name, your service needs to deliver if you expect drivers and riders to jump on board. This is why Facedrive has made the decision an absolute no-brainer for all involved.

Millennials vote with their wallet, and they show their values with it too. Many say they’re willing to pay 25% more for a service to support a cause that’s important to them. Many are looking at Facedrive (FD; FDVRF) to become the rideshare of the future — grabbing hold of this $30 trillion mega-trend. 

Industry Heavyweights Are Jumping On Board, As Well

Amazon (AMZN) has committed to the ESG push in a big way. And on multiple fronts. In 2019, founder and CEO Jeff Bezos launched a landmark $10 billion climate change fund, but that was only the start of its deep dive into sustainability. In fact, since then, Amazon has even dove into the transportation of the future, leading a $700 million investment round in the groundbreaking EV startup Rivian.

But Amazon hasn’t stopped there. Bezos’ e-commerce giant has also pledged to go completely carbon neutral a full decade ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement. And as a part of that pledge, Amazon has committed to powering all of its operations by 100% renewable energy by 2025.

In a statement on its website Amazon noted, «We believe supply chain transparency is crucial to our approach to human rights due diligence and ensuring worker protections…When we receive information about potential issues in our supply chain, we investigate and take appropriate action to remediate.»

Its conscious approach to the marketplace, in addition to 2020’s pandemic-fueled e-commerce boom helped Amazon’s stock price jump from $1,906 per share to over $3,180 at the time of writing, representing a 66% increase from January last year. 

Despite being a bit late to jump on the sustainability train, Uber Technologies (UBER) is finally making some changes in its operations. In late 2019, a scathing report about how much the ride-sharing giant was contributing to emissions emerged, suggesting that Uber and Lyft added as much as 70% more to global emissions than traditional alternatives prompting backlash among environmentalists.

In fact, Uber even rolled out a new program to help drivers transition to electric vehicles. The $800 million ‘Green Future’ initiative, with the help of Chevrolet, allows drivers to get a near-$3000 discount on Bolt EV Premiers.

While Uber’s share price stumbled at the beginning of 2020, its food delivery business and its fresh approach to the looming climate crisis have helped the company’s share price jump from a low of just $18 in March of last year to its current price of $50.

Like Uber, Lyft Inc (LYFT) has also made leaps and bounds in its commitment to a greener tomorrow. In fact, it has even rolled out a massive push to fully-electrify its fleet within the decade. The company is already working closely with its partners and policymakers to make electric vehicles more accessible to its drivers, but the best is yet to come.

John Zimmer, co-founder and president of Lyft explained, «Now more than ever, we need to work together to create cleaner, healthier, and more equitable communities,» adding, «Success breeds success, and if we do this right, it creates a path for others.»

Lyft’s stock price was a roller-coaster in 2020, primarily due to the major hit its services took as lockdowns across the globe weighed on demand for its services. Despite this impact, however, Lyft’s share price bounced back from a low of around $18 in March to its current price of $46.

It’s impossible to mention sustainability without touching on the impact that Big Tech has had. Alphabet Inc. (GOOG), in particular. It has consistently remained one of the technology industry’s most-sustainable and most admired companies thanks to its committed leadership and groundbreaking innovations. It’s bid to reduce its carbon footprint has been well received by both younger and older investors.

Alphabet’s approach to the world has helped fuel investor confidence across the board. It’s more than doubled its share price over the past five years, and it’s just getting started. In fact, despite its $1.16 trillion valuation, many analysts still see a major potential for growth.

Fueled by millennial money and the multi-trillion-dollar ESG boom, Tesla Inc. (TSLA) emerged as the stock story of 2020. Throughout the year, the de facto king of electric vehicles dominated headlines and defied expectations. Tesla has continued to defy bearish expectations that low oil prices would put a damper on its core business of selling electric vehicles.

Clearly, its efforts are paying off, as it is without-a-doubt one of the most popular stocks on Wall Street. And though the company saw its share price jump by over 600% in 2020 alone, there is still a lot of upside potential for Musk’s electric vehicle giant. 

The meteoric rise by Tesla stock has seen CEO Elon Musk leapfrog several billionaires including Bill Gates to become the second-richest man on earth with a net worth of $155 billion. And if things keep going the way they’re going, there’s a very good chance that this year, Musk could surpass even Jeff Bezos to become the richest man in the world.

With the Support of the Citizenship by Investment Programme, Climate-Resilience is High on Dominica’s 2021 Agenda

LONDON, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The small Caribbean island of the Commonwealth of Dominica, which surrounds the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, is working on becoming the world’s first climate-resilient nation.

LONDON, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The small Caribbean island of the Commonwealth of Dominica, which surrounds the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, is working on becoming the world’s first climate-resilient nation. Recently, Prime Minister Dr Roosevelt Skerrit stated that more climate-resilient homes will be constructed in 2021. The goal is part of Dominica’s national housing initiative that aims is to build over 5,000 climate-resilient homes capable of handling any powerful category five catastrophes. Thousands of homes have already been constructed and given to families across the island. 

This massive feat is attributed to the Skerrit administration and its efficient management of funds collected through the island’s Citizenship by Investment Programme. Inevitably, in time, Dominica’s ‘Housing Revolution’ will transform the island, restoring the lives of many while equally preparing for the future despite climate change.

«This is a mission that we are going to continue until every family in the country is in a comfortable home. In 2021, even more, homes will be constructed all across the country,» stated Dominican Prime Minister. «COVID-19 is calling for us to create a kinder, more caring country and world. Perhaps, it should motivate us to construct a world that is more respectful of Mother Earth and the family of humanity,» PM Skerrit added.

The extensive project also demonstrates the transparency of Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Programme. It remains a tool for empowering the native community, bolstering economic growth and building international relationships as the global community comes together to create structures that will last for many generations. Dominica takes pride in showing exactly where investors’ contributions go.

By contributing to the Economic Diversification Fund under Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Programme, foreign investors are rewarded with the country’s valuable citizenship. While there is no requirement to reside on the island to qualify for citizenship, all applicants must first pass the Programme’s due diligence checks, ranked second to none in the entire CBI industry. 

According to the CBI Index, published by the Financial Times’ PWM magazine, Dominica remains the best country for citizenship by investment. Alternatively, applicants can invest in pre-approved hotels that are establishing a thriving ecotourism sector on the island.

Home Value Disparities Between Races Are Still Pronounced, but Shrinking

SEATTLE, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Typical values for Black- and Latinx-owned homes still lag behind overall U.S. home values, but the gap is narrowing. A new Zillow® <a target="_blank"…

SEATTLE, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Typical values for Black- and Latinx-owned homes still lag behind overall U.S. home values, but the gap is narrowing. A new Zillow® analysis shows homes owned by Black and Latinx households are worth 16.2% and 10.2% less, respectively, than the typical U.S. home — gaps that have closed by about 4 percentage points from their widest points following the Great Recession.

Homes owned by non-Hispanic white and Asian families, meanwhile, have typical values 2.9% and 3.7% higher than the typical U.S. home.

While inequity in home values continues to persist, the data show them steadily, albeit slowly, converging. Since homeownership is the single largest driver of wealth for many households, the value and appreciation of a home is extremely impactful for families.

Before the Great Recession, the gap between Black-owned home values and all home values was about 15%, but grew to 20% by March 2014. Similarly, Latinx-owned homes saw the largest home value gap in May 2012 at 14% — 2 percentage points larger than before the housing bubble. Now, nearly a decade later, home values for Black- and Latinx-owned homes are back at pre-bubble levels, and continue to narrow despite the current economic crisis.

One reason for the wide gap is that the housing bust hit communities of color especially hard. Subprime loans were targeted to take advantage of the most vulnerable communities, and the ensuing wave of foreclosures hurt homeownership and home values disproportionately for Black and Latinx homeowners. Fast forward 12 years, and homeownership rates and home values are still recovering for these communities. While home value growth turned positive for U.S. homes in August 2012, it took an additional two years for Black and Latinx homes to see this same growth.

«It has taken nearly a decade for the home value gap to return to pre-recession levels, but still, the gap remains very large,» says Zillow economist Treh Manhertz. «With Black and brown communities and jobs hit disproportionately hard in the pandemic, there has been reason to worry another dip may be on the horizon that could slow or stop the progress. However, this is not the case, as the same factors that widened the gap in the Great Recession are not surfacing this time. Thanks to rock bottom rates on the most secure mortgages, extended forbearance programs, and rising home prices, there are no signs of another widening of the gap coming this year. However, through these turbulent times, continued vigilance and targeted intervention by policymakers is crucial to keep the progress going for communities of color.»

Home value inequality varies greatly in different states and metropolitan areas. Large metros with the smallest spread between Black-owned home values are Riverside (1% value gap), San Antonio (3%), Las Vegas (3%), and Portland (4%). Among the most unequal are Detroit (46% value gap), Buffalo (43%) Birmingham (43%), St. Louis (41%), and Milwaukee (40%).

Black homeownership rates are also on the rise since the Great Recession, despite challenges for Black homebuyers to secure a mortgage. Telework has the ability to expand the opportunity for homeownership even further for Black and Latinx renters, providing the flexibility to own a home in a less-expensive area.

Funding the Future of Agriculture: FarmTogether Enrolls 100% of its Acres in Leading Harvest’s Sustainable Farmland Management Standard

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — FarmTogether, the technology-powered, online marketplace providing…

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — FarmTogether, the technology-powered, online marketplace providing investors with direct access to farmland ownership, today announced that it has committed 100% of its acres to certify to the Leading Harvest Farmland Management Standard, the first scalable, industry-wide standard paving the way for universal sustainable farmland management. FarmTogether’s commitment to Leading Harvest advances its efforts to prioritize long-term stewardship for both its investors and future generations.

Leading Harvest’s standard certification program provides the framework for simple and widespread adoption of sustainable farmland management through a set of meaningful, certifiable, and measurable stewardship results. The outcomes-based program, which can be applied across all crops and geographies, covers Thirteen Objectives spanning the environmental, social, and economic issues facing Earth today–ranging from soil health, energy use, air quality, water management, and fair labor, to reducing impacts on climate change. Each Objective consists of Performance Measures and Indicators that provide specific guidance for reporting and compliance, certified through a rigorous, third-party auditing process. 

«FarmTogether recognizes the enormous potential of sustainable farmland management practices. After years of careful consideration, research, and broad stakeholder engagement, Leading Harvest has created a standard that encapsulates the breadth and depth of measurable sustainable farmland management practices,» said David Chan, COO of FarmTogether. «We are excited to partner with a thought leader like Leading Harvest to advance the adoption of sustainable agriculture.»

With the global population expected to hit an all-time peak of 9.7 billion by 2050, farmers are experiencing stark increases in the demand for food. With limited arable land and the progression of climate change threatening the traditional supply of natural resources, the challenge to feed a growing population is exacerbated. However, research shows that through effective farmland management and by utilizing sustainable approaches and regenerative farming, farm operations could double or triple their yields without clearing additional acreage.

FarmTogether embraces sustainable farmland management and making long-term, positive changes to the planet and future communities. By directly investing in farmland with FarmTogether, investors are funding innovative and sustainable farming practices and driving real solutions to climate change while earning strong returns in the process.

«Leading Harvest provides programs that offer a more rational, credible, and scalable approach to sustainability assurance and verification. We are thrilled to partner with organizations, like FarmTogether, that are at the leading edge of agricultural sustainability and represent new models for the future of the industry,» said Kenny Fahey, Executive Director of Leading Harvest. «FarmTogether’s commitment to technology-enabled investing that creates financial returns through sustainable management demonstrates that economic, social, and environmental outcomes go hand-in-hand.»

Grist Mill Bridge Open to Traffic with AIT Bridges Composite Beams

BREWER, Maine, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AIT Bridges, a division of Advanced Infrastructure Technologies (AIT), a designer and supplier of composite bridge systems and structural components, announced that, in conjunction with The Maine Department of Transportation, after the December 31st…

BREWER, Maine, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AIT Bridges, a division of Advanced Infrastructure Technologies (AIT), a designer and supplier of composite bridge systems and structural components, announced that, in conjunction with The Maine Department of Transportation, after the December 31st load testing, the replacement of the Grist Mill Bridge has opened to traffic, located on Route 1A , in Hampden Maine.

The former span was constructed in 1950 and was comprised of three bridges built one on top of the another. It has been replaced with a new span consisting of five composite beams manufactured at AIT Bridge’s Brewer, Maine facility. The technology was developed in cooperation with The University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center.

The Grist Mill Bridge spans over the Souadabscook Stream which is an environmentally sensitive tributary of the Penobscot River. This bridge replacement is part of a project that includes reconstruction and paving work on an almost two-mile-long stretch of Route 1A. The total cost for the project is approximately $8.9 million.

AIT Bridges’ composite bridge systems are designed to last over 100 years, at least 30 years longer than the average steel bridge. Additionally, because its bridge systems use composites instead of steel, they need little to zero maintenance over their lifecycle. The use of sustainable, environmentally friendly (low carbon footprint) materials results in a low impact solution to the aging bridges in the U.S.

AIT Bridges would like to thank the Maine businesses and agencies that helped make this historic project possible: MaineDOT, UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composite Center, T Buck Construction, Dashiell Transportation, TY Lin International (Falmouth, Maine Office), Calderwood Engineering, Composites One LLC (Rockland, Maine Distributor), TexTech Industries, Portland Bolt, N.S. Giles Foundation, Inc., Lee’s Concrete, Owen J. Folsom, Inc., and Hammond Lumber.

«We’re so pleased to have lent our engineering expertise to the replacement of the Grist Mill Bridge in Hampden,» said Ken Sweeney, President and Chief Engineer, AIT Bridges. «We wanted to ensure that the construction that took place in 2020 would be long lasting and resilient. By using materials made in Maine by Maine craftspeople, this bridge will stand the test of time.»

Today, AIT Bridges offers the composite arch bridge system and composite beams; two building blocks capable of replacing most bridges across the country. For more information about AIT Bridges, please visit: https://www.aitbridges.com

Summa Silver Provides Annual Update Letter from CEO

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Summa Silver Corp. («Summa Silver» or the «Company») (CSE: SSVR) (OTCQB: SSVRF) (Frankfurt: 48X) is pleased to provide the following letter to all shareholders from the CEO.

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Summa Silver Corp. («Summa Silver» or the «Company») (CSE: SSVR) (OTCQB: SSVRF) (Frankfurt: 48X) is pleased to provide the following letter to all shareholders from the CEO.

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

This past year marked a strong debut year for Summa Silver. After listing in February, the Company quickly optioned two high-quality silver and gold exploration properties in under-appreciated historic mining districts in the United States and raised $13M in two private placements.

Our highest priority is to create shareholder value through systematic exploration of our two highly prospective silver and gold projects.

Highlights from 2020

Aggressive drilling at the Hughes Property in Nevada was the central focus of our exploration strategy in 2020. Originally budgeted for 7,500 m of drilling in 15 holes, our first ever drill program was expanded and ultimately consisted of 14,460 m of drilling in 29 holes.

Key takeaways from the 2020 Hughes drill program include:

  • High-grade silver and gold mineralization was discovered in four target areas across a 3.5 km trend.
  • The area around the historic Belmont Mine hosts numerous well mineralized and unmined veins.
  • The Ruby discovery may represent a 1.3 km extension of the Tonopah district to the east
  • The Murray area hosts broad zones of mineralization that likely cross the property boundary to the west onto Blackrock Gold Corp’s Tonopah West Property.
  • Assays for 14 holes remain pending, all of which intersected quartz veins and breccias.

In addition to the Hughes Property, the Company also optioned a large portion of the historic Mogollon mining district near Silver City, New Mexico. Undrilled since the 1980’s, historical drill results outline a target area at the old Consolidated Mine. The target spans 500 x 200 m where 8 historic drill holes are reported to have averaged 497 g/t silver equivalent over average drilled lengths of 13.3 m. Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, this Consolidated Mine target represents approximately 0.6 km of the 34 km of cumulative structure/vein length on the property. Putting those numbers into context, the Consolidated Mine target represents less than 2% of the prospective target horizons on the property.

Outlook for 2021

It is very clear to us at Summa Silver that both the Hughes and Mogollon properties warrant significant drill programs in 2021 as we drive towards mineral resource estimates at both projects. With that in mind, we are planning a two-faceted approach to unlock value for shareholders in 2021.

  1. At the Hughes property, follow up drilling at all four of the original target areas is required and we will systematically drill step out holes around areas of known mineralization. We are also planning a geological mapping and sampling program covering the large, but under-documented zones of hydrothermal alteration on the northern and eastern portions of the property.
  2. At the Mogollon property, the Consolidated Mine target area clearly warrants a thorough mineral resource assessment via a pattern of grid drilling.  Permits for this drill program are expected in Q1. We are also planning boots-on-the-ground geological mapping and sampling program to gain a better understanding of the geologic controls on silver and gold mineralization.

Looking back to the beginning of 2020, Summa Silver was just an idea. I’m very grateful to our supportive shareholders who are integral to our success. I’m also very pleased with how far we’ve come in one short year and look forward to using our geological expertise to create further shareholder value in 2021.

At Summa Silver, we strive to communicate our corporate message with transparency and consistency with the public market community and we urge you to reach out to allow us to get to know our shareholders better.
