Having a green business is far more than boasting a PR-friendly label. With growing worries in regards to climate change, it benefits organizations to incorporate eco-friendly strategies to accommodate global warming concerns. There are several tactics companies can take to lessen their impact on the environment.

Businesses can make the workplace more environmentally friendly by switching to LED bulbs and moving to reusable cups and containers in place of conventional disposable options. Switching out items like printer paper and shipping boxes for ones made of recycled material can help cut down on company waste, too. Another green option is to reduce paper use. Many businesses can cut down on paper products by merely switching to digital alternatives, thus reducing the company’s overall carbon footprint.

Incorporating a green game plan can help businesses significantly reduce their impact on the environment. Viewpoint is proud to highlight the organizations featuring these sustainable green methods in the upcoming episode that Dennis Quaid will introduce.

The television show, Viewpoint was created to educate television audiences. Anchoring the show is a team of widely talented individuals and developers. The segment has accepted several Telly awards throughout its tenure.

The Major Williams for Governor Campaign Gears Up With Newsom Recall Looming

PASDADENA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Major Williams, a Republican candidate for California Governor, and his campaign team are preparing for a successful recall of current Governor Gavin Newsom. Voters have until March 17, 2021 to collect 1,459,709 signatures to trigger a recall election. Williams has been on the campaign trail meeting with voters from all parts of California and continues to ramp up campaign activity as the deadline approaches in preparation for a bid at the Governor’s seat.

The Major for Governor campaign has seen tremendous growth over the past 12 months and Williams is one of the fastest rising Republican candidates on social media in California history. With more than 41,000 likes on Facebook, 21,000 followers on Twitter and a whopping 175,000 followers on Instagram, Major’s popularity continues to rise. His popularity is a testament to the excitement residents feel in regards to his candidacy and ideals. In addition to this impressive momentum, every event Major Williams attends generates a large audience due to his presence and ability to rally and unify California voters.

Williams states, «We need someone in office that thinks differently in order to solve complex issues. I have the unique ability to walk into a room of a variety of ethnicities and political party affiliations and gain consensus through conversation.»

The ability to bring together the masses, even those who have different backgrounds and ways of thinking, exhibits his value as a leader in California. Williams is a born leader with an entrepreneurial spirit that speaks to the American dream. His goal is to restore the essence of California and implement policies that improve the quality of life for all. He strives to bridge the gap between residents and lead them in a positive direction for a brighter future.

California citizens are frustrated with Newsom’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and, as Williams stated on Fox and Friends, Newsom’s «poor leadership.»

Williams added that people are «unified by frustration» and that, «[Newsom] said he’s going by the science, but he really isn’t. It’s hurtful to all Californians.»

Major’s campaign is a campaign of the people. The campaign stands for pro life, law enforcement, forest management, legal immigration, and the 2nd Amendment, while claiming to be anti mandatory vaccinations, overregulation, and defunding of the police.

About Major Williams: Major Williams is running for Governor of California. He and his wife founded Major Kicks for Kids, a non-profit organization that helps economically disadvantaged kids pursue their dreams, and he also runs the New California Governor Committee, which was created to vet and support gubernatorial candidates.

Landmark Pet Store Consumer Protection Bill Passes Colorado House Committee

BERTHOUD, Colo., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, HB21-1102, The Consumer Protection for Dog and Cat Purchasers, passed the Colorado House Agriculture, Livestock, & Water Committee, the bill’s first major hurdle in becoming law. Harley’s Dream applauds the work of state bill sponsors Representative Monica Duran, Representative Matt Soper, and Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis in their efforts to bring this monumental piece of legislation forward in Colorado.

If passed into law, this bill would prohibit a pet store that was not already licensed by the commissioner of agriculture prior to its passage from selling dogs or cats. It would also require each currently licensed pet store that does sell dogs or cats to:

Include the purchase price of the animal and the breeder license number in all online and print advertisements.

Post purchase price and all breeder information including name, address, state and/or federal license number on each kennel.

Disclose to consumers in writing before each purchase the purchase price, interest rate/range associated with financing or any credit card offered, and breeder information – including any license numbers and any violations received in the previous two years.

Pet store puppies are mass-produced in commercial breeding facilities across the country. The breeding dogs, the mothers and fathers of these puppies, often spend their entire lives living in inhumane conditions in small, wire cages with little or no veterinary care or human interaction. The facilities are regulated by the USDA as if these companion animals are livestock. USDA regulations require the breeding facilities meet mere «survival standards». The puppies, often with genetic health issues or harboring illnesses, are shipped off to pet stores only to be sold to unsuspecting consumers who do not realize or fully understand the cruel reality behind that cute puppy in the window.

«We are proud to see this important legislation move forward. It is a crucial step in establishing consumer transparency while helping to ensure Colorado will not further enable the puppy-mill-to-pet-store pipeline,» said Harley’s Dream co-founder Rudi Taylor. «We have been actively involved in educating the public about this cruel industry since 2011. Through the passage of multiple municipal ordinances in 2019 and 2020, prohibiting the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores, starting with the town of Berthoud, our state residents have shown their overwhelming support of measures to ensure the humane treatment of our companion animals. Enacting a state law is the logical next step.»

Other states and communities that have passed similar laws have found such legislation boosts adoption from rescues and shelters. In 2019 alone, Colorado’s shelters and rescues moved over 109,000 dogs and 65,000 cats – and over 15,000 of these dogs and cats were euthanized. Some of these animals originated at pet stores and were relinquished by owners when their circumstances changed, or the animal became more difficult to care for than anticipated. Others are still there because they were overlooked as someone purchased a purebred animal from a pet store.

We will be watching closely as this bill continues to make its way through the Colorado legislature, and we encourage Colorado residents who support it to contact their state representatives today.

About Harley’s Dream:

Harley’s Dream was established in 2016 in honor of Harley, a senior one-eyed puppy mill survivor who became the face and voice of the puppy mill dogs worldwide. With a mission to create awareness and educate the public about the cruel commercial dog breeding industry, also known as puppy mills, Harley’s Dream has been making huge strides. Through a grassroots approach by large groups of concerned citizens, the organization has been involved with bringing change in communities across the country. Harley’s Dream is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Berthoud, Colorado.

Statement by the Alliance for Lasting Liberty on the Passage of the Equality Act

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Passing the Equality Act without significant bipartisan support is a missed opportunity to develop more comprehensive, balanced legislation that can vigorously protect LGBT rights while providing robust protections for religious freedom.

The Alliance for Lasting Liberty continues advocating for fairness legislation that will extend civil rights protections to the LGBT community while also protecting religious rights and safeguarding the historical…

President Biden, a man of faith and a champion of LGBT rights, is best positioned to bridge the unnecessary divide between LGBT rights and religious freedom.

This division doesn’t have to continue. We know that Americans across the political spectrum agree on fundamental values of fairness, equality, and personal freedom.

We believe every American deserves respect and safety, particularly at a time when many minority religions face unprecedented hate crimes and violence. People of faith and the organizations they form do indispensable work to serve the common good.

We believe every gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender American deserves an equal chance at living the American Dream. LGBT people face abhorrent discrimination and we are moved to action by the stories of so many people, especially LGBT people of color, who need comprehensive federal protections, and need them urgently.

The United States Senate has the opportunity to draft a law that reflects a real, broad consensus where we are confident fairness can be achieved.

Nation’s Mayors Applaud House Passage of the Equality Act

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5: The Equality Act, a bill that would ban discrimination against LGBTQ Americans by listing sexual orientation and gender identity as prohibited grounds of employment discrimination under federal law.

<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/767293/US_Conference_of_Mayors_Logo.html"…

U.S. Conference of Mayors President Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer released the following statement in support of the Equality Act:

«Mayors across the country have long supported expanding protections for LGBTQ Americans, and today we applaud the House of Representatives on the passage of the Equality Act. It is beyond time that our country provide federal protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in all key areas of life, including employment, housing, education and public spaces.

«I also commend the bill’s sponsor, Rhode Island Representative and former Mayor of Providence David Cicilline for continuing to champion these issues in Congress. He was a strong advocate for expanding protections when he was a member of the Conference, and his continued leadership serves as a beacon of hope as we move closer to living in a land where no one faces discrimination or injustice of any kind based on the color of their skin, who they are, or choose to love.»

Aligned with policies adopted by the Conference that endorse federal law to direct nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ Americans, the nation’s mayors also sent a letter to every member of the House urging passage of H.R. 5 by a wide margin.

About the United States Conference of Mayors — The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are more than 1,400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

Offshore Wind Turbine Market Worth $68,869.3 Million by 2026 says P&S Intelligence

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With the increasing government initiatives for clean energy production, the global offshore wind turbine market is expected to grow to $68,869.3 million by 2026, from $24,683.3 million in 2019, according to P&S Intelligence. The generation of electricity from fossil fuels is leading to a rise in air pollution levels, which are, in turn, resulting in global warming. Moreover, as per BP plc, if the crude oil, natural gas, and coal reserves are exploited at the 2016 levels, then the current stocks are only enough for the next 50.6 years.

Get the sample copy of this report at @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/global-offshore-wind-turbine-market-analysis/report-sample

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the offshore wind turbine market is witnessing subdued growth, as the lockdown initiated in numerous countries has halted the supply of wind tower components. Moreover, the ongoing projects for offshore windmill installation have also been postponed, for want of funding and laborers. However, once the situation betters and lockdown is lifted, the market is projected to recover.

The shallow-water (up to 30 meters) category, on the basis of water depth, dominated the offshore wind turbine market in the past, on account of the higher convenience this depth offers for the setting up of windmills, compared to transitional and deep waters. Moreover, maintaining and repairing shallow-water wind installations are also easier, which is why this depth is preferred for establishing wind power plants.

Browse detailed report with COVID-19 impact analysis on Offshore Wind Turbine Market Research Report: By Water Depth (Shallow Water, Transitional Water, Deep Water), Installation (Fixed, Floating), Turbine Capacity (Up to 3 MW, 3 MW to 5 MW, > 5 MW) – Global Industry Analysis and Demand Forecast to 2026 @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/global-offshore-wind-turbine-market-analysis

In the coming years, fixed will be the larger bifurcation in the offshore wind turbine market, based on installation. This is because fixed windmills are not only cost-effective, but also easier to commission and decommission. In addition, strong currents, waves, and winds are not that impactful on fixed installations, which are able to stay where they are, under such conditions.

The 3 Megawatt (MW)-to-5 MW classification, under the turbine capacity segment, contributes the highest revenue to the offshore wind turbine market, and this situation is predicted to be unchanged in the immediate future. This is because turbines of this power rating have a higher electricity generation capacity, but lower maintenance costs, which is why they are garnering heavy investments from private and public enterprises.

Make enquiry about this report at @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/send-enquiry?enquiry-url=global-offshore-wind-turbine-market-analysis

Asia-Pacific (APAC) would account for a considerable share in the offshore wind turbine market in the years to come because of the high dependence on fossil fuels for electricity. As this has raised air pollution in APAC to alarming levels, governments of regional countries are taking initiatives to generate clean energy, including installing wind towers on seas and lakes. For instance, the Chinese government is targeting a 400 Gigawatts (GW) wind power capacity by 2030, for which several provinces, such as Fujian, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, have already reached their individual targets.

The most prominent firms in the global offshore wind turbine market are Envision Energy, MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S, Nordex SE, Ocean Breeze Energy GmbH & Co. KG, Nexans S.A., Sinovel Wind Group Co. Ltd., Ørsted A/S, Xinjiang Goldwind Science Technology Co. Ltd., Mingyang Smart Energy Group Co. Ltd., General Electric Company, and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy S.A.

Catherine Monson Begins 2nd Year as Chair of the International Franchise Association

CARROLLTON, Texas, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Catherine Monson, CEO at FASTSIGNS International, Inc., began her second year as Chair of the International Franchising Association (IFA), a first in the association’s 60-plus year history.

…

Catherine Monson boldly led her FASTSIGNS International corporate team, the FASTSIGNS® franchise network and the IFA throughout an incredibly challenging economic year in 2020. Her work included overseeing the creation of a FASTSIGNS Preparedness site as a resource for the entire FASTSIGNS network, holding weekly Connect with Catherine meetings to keep the network fully informed, and creating motivational videos each week–which she continues to do today–first for FASTSIGNS franchisees and then, at their request, for the IFA. In addition to supporting over 740 FASTSIGNS locations worldwide, suppliers, her corporate team, the newly-acquired NerdstoGo brand, and the IFA in 2020, Monson created an inspirational YouTube video series for the FASTSIGNS/NerdsToGo networks and the IFA that highlighted a wide range of topics including optimism, motivation, overcoming adversity and more.

A strong advocate for small business enterprise and franchising, Monson has served on the Board of Directors for the IFA since 2008. Through her service with the IFA, Monson works to help further the IFA’s mission of protecting, enhancing, and promoting franchising through government relations, public relations, educational programs and enhancing member value. Past committees she has worked on include the Women’s Franchise Committee, the Educational Foundation Research Committee, the Franchise Relations Committee, the Benchmarking Task Force and the Franchise Relations Best Practices Task Force.

In 2009, Monson was honored by the IFA with the prestigious Bonny LeVine Award, which is bestowed on a female franchisor or franchisee who has demonstrated ability in franchising through contribution to the growth of the business, contributions to her community through board positions, volunteer work and activities that promote the professional advancement of women, and contributions as a mentor to women in franchising. Monson was involved with the second annual IFA’s fall «fly-in» event in Washington DC (originally called Franchise Appreciation Day and now called the Franchise Action Network (FAN) Annual Meeting) in 2000 and has attended all but one ever since. In 2014, she testified before the US House of Representatives Workforce Subcommittee on the potential negative consequences of the NLRB’s then-expected expansion of the definition of «Joint Employer.» In 2015, she received the IFA’s first ever «FAN (Franchise Action Network) of the Year Award» for her commitment, dedication and efforts to champion franchising and small businesses locally and nationally through her work with the Franchise Action Network, and in 2018, she testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Workforce Subcommittee on Association Health Plans.

Monson has also been a panelist or facilitator in breakout sessions at every IFA Convention since 2006 and has served as keynote speaker for the 2016 IFA Convention, the Australian Franchise Convention in 2016, the Brazilian Franchise Association in 2016, the Canadian Franchise Association Convention in 2017 and the New Zealand Franchise Association in 2018.

«I’m honored to be elected to serve in a second year as Chair of the IFA and help lead the franchising industry through various seasons of uncertainty and recovery,» said Catherine Monson. «The IFA continues to provide franchisors, franchisees and suppliers with resources to successfully achieve their goals as business owners and develop a positive outlook, so they, in turn, can successfully lead through these challenging times.»

As the franchise sector is poised to rebound from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Monson’s work with the IFA will center on leading the organization to protect, promote and enhance the franchise business model through teaching and modeling franchising best practices to franchisors, supporting the IFA’s strong government relations, and growing value proposition of membership in the IFA.

«I love franchising; franchising enables people to own their own business, build wealth for their families, create jobs in the local market and create economic growth by benefiting from the power of a brand along with the brand’s marketing, advertising, training and support. I look forward to serving the franchising community through my appointment and doing my part to protect, promote and enhance franchising,» said Monson.
