BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Following an unprecedented year for the travel industry, Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of brands is slated to debut a number of select service branded hotels in highly sought-after leisure destinations throughout 2021. With travel on the horizon, the new openings – which include Moxy Miami South Beach, Aloft Tulum, AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea, Residence Inn by Marriott Cancun Hotel Zone, and Courtyard by Marriott Mazatlán Sinaloa Mexico – will answer to burgeoning demand and prolonged wanderlust to explore the sun and the sand in spacious, airy atmospheres.

«With pent-up demand predicted to lead to ‘revenge travel,’ our booking trends indicate an uptick in leisure travel planning after a difficult year,» said Tina Edmundson, Global Brand & Marketing Officer of Marriott International. «Leisure destinations continue to be a bright spot in the progress to recovery and has become a priority growth area across all of our distinctive brands, including our popular select service hotels. These new properties will offer a chance to escape with flexible, open spaces that allow our guests to once again embrace the freedom of travel when they are ready.»

Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of select service brands has defined the booming segment that caters to travelers seeking a balance between what they truly need and eliminating what they don’t. Guests can enjoy streamlined services and casual, convenient dining options paired with heartfelt hospitality—all at an attractive price point and no added fees. Room rates typically include access to key amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi and fitness centers. Beloved by savvy business travelers everywhere, Marriott’s select service brands will continue to expand its global footprint to also meet the desires of leisure travelers.

A recently published report by Allied Market Research valued the global leisure travel market size at just over $1 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach more than $1.7 billion by 2027. Insights from McKinsey & Company and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) also confirm that «sun and beach» related searches are leading the way for recovery amongst U.S. travelers.

Leisure trips are expected to outperform business travel through 2021, particularly driven by celebration-centric travel. Many consumers plan to book trips to commemorate postponed life events and milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and honeymoons.

Inspired travelers can begin planning their next getaway to these new, open-air hotels:

The hotel’s complimentary grocery service truly allows guests to shop and cook at their own convenience, just like they would at home.

ARDEN HILLS, Minn., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Truterra, LLC, the sustainability business and subsidiary of Land O’Lakes, Inc., one of America’s largest farmer-owned cooperatives, today announced the launch of TruCarbon, a transformational new carbon program that will help farmers generate and sell carbon credits to private sector buyers. TruCarbon represents the first and only farmer-owned carbon program in the U.S. that is designed to provide both the best experience for farmers and a novel approach for carbon credit buyers to incentivize change at scale. 

TruCarbon offers buyers carbon credits that are created using leading soil and conservation science, and precision data and verification methods. The program offers farmers a streamlined experience, making it easier for them to develop and sell carbon credits so that they can focus on crop production and caring for the land. Through the Truterra™ Insights Engine data platform, the new TruCarbon program provides farmers and their trusted ag retailer advisors a powerful soil health planning suite of tools to help them decide what is best for their business while optimizing their fields’ carbon credit potential. TruCarbon also maximizes the value and return for farmers with premium carbon credit value. 

«TruCarbon is proof positive in our belief at Land O’Lakes that farmers and agriculture solve big problems – serving as the economic engine in rural communities, feeding a growing world, and now helping to address a changing climate,» said Beth Ford, CEO of Land O’Lakes, Inc. «TruCarbon is providing farmers new opportunities to be recognized and rewarded for their stewardship, creating new revenue opportunities for farm families as they adopt soil health practices and increasing the focus on carbon storage in crop fields. It’s through innovative approaches such as TruCarbon that our farmer cooperative system can help ensure that farmers’ businesses are profitable, our rural communities are resilient, and the land, air and water are healthy for future generations.» 

TruCarbon is launching with Microsoft as its first secured buyer to purchase carbon in 2021, which will help meet the company’s ambitious commitment to be carbon negative by 2030. For this initial launch, participating farmers may receive $20 per ton of carbon with payments this summer for this first tranche of credits. Qualifying farmers may be compensated for carbon sequestration retroactively up to five years based on the soil health practices they adopted in prior growing seasons. For maximum farmer convenience, Truterra will handle soil testing and other activities designed to ensure maximum credit quality and value. Farmers can begin the information and enrollment process by visiting https://www.truterraag.com/CarbonSurvey. 

«TruCarbon is like no other offering on the market because it is built with the farmer at the center, backed by the most cutting-edge technology platform on the market. That means that companies and others looking to buy trusted carbon credits can connect with farmers and support the adoption of more sustainable practices on farms across the country,» said Jason Weller, Vice President, Truterra. «We are excited to be able to bring this program to farmers through our trusted network of ag retailers, offering a competitive price and streamlined experience so that they can stay focused on farming and their stewardship.»  

«The science is clear,» said Dr. Wayne Honeycutt, CEO of the Soil Health Institute, which is collaborating with Truterra on TruCarbon metrics and soil sampling protocols. «Storing more carbon in soils not only benefits a farmer’s bottom line, but also improves water quality and helps fight climate change. Farmers who adopt soil health practices build drought resilience, reduce erosion and minimize nutrient losses. All of us at the Soil Health Institute are excited to work with Truterra on this project because it will help achieve these on-farm and environmental benefits at scale.» 

Current and future carbon efforts will leverage Truterra’s best-in-class sustainability platform, the Truterra™ Insights Engine, along with agronomic expertise and the trusted advisor network of Land O’Lakes agriculture retailers to connect and support farmers as they adopt soil health practices and generate carbon credits.  

Farmers and their ag retailers use the Truterra™ Insights Engine to measure and track their on-farm practices and model new practice changes such as cover crops and no-till based on environmental impact and profitability, so that farmers are equipped to take advantage of carbon markets and additional ecosystem services markets as they emerge.

HIV Organizations Announce Racial Justice Index to Remedy Disconnect Between HIV Leadership and Community Impact

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Leading up to National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, AIDS United and its Public Policy Council, composed of 55 of the nation’s leading organizations dedicated to ending HIV, are announcing they have launched the Racial Justice Index.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Leading up to National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, AIDS United and its Public Policy Council, composed of 55 of the nation’s leading organizations dedicated to ending HIV, are announcing they have launched the Racial Justice Index. AIDS United is working collaboratively with the Black AIDS Institute, a Public Policy Council member, to guide this work. After the summer of 2020 that ushered in a racial reckoning in America, this novel initiative aims to create awareness — and eventually sustainable change — around the misalignment between who holds power and resources in HIV organizations and the epidemic’s disproportionate impact on Black Americans.

The Racial Justice Index is part of a series of outcomes that emerged from more than two years of conversations led by leaders of color among the Public Policy Council and was made more urgent by the national outcry for racial justice. In June 2020, AIDS United, along with 53 members of its Public Policy Council and more than 20 other HIV organizations, issued an open letter to all elected officials calling for all policies to be enacted through a racial justice and equity framework. The Index’s mission is to assess and improve the HIV sector’s commitment to racial equity by creating assessment tools and resources to combat anti-Black racism and other forms of racism that will first be analyzed in PPC organizations and then the HIV sector. This includes hiring practices, leadership, talent retention and decision-making in the HIV movement. The Index’s methodical implementation process will seek to onboard HIV organizations to respond to an online national survey that will inform a publicly-released report, which will facilitate critical leadership conversations among HIV stakeholders.

The initiative will be guided by the Racial Justice Index Committee, a committee formed out of AIDS United’s Public Policy Council and co-chaired by Raniyah Copeland, president and CEO of Black AIDS Institute, and A. Toni Young, CEO, Community Education Group — nationally renowned Black leaders in the HIV community. The PPC and the Index committee are managed by Carl Baloney Jr., AIDS United vice president for policy and advocacy. AIDS United Board members, Dr. Kimberley Jeffries Leonard, president of Links Inc., and Dr. David Holtgrave, Dean of the University at Albany School of Public Health, SUNY, have also been instrumental in assisting in the creation of the Index. The committee includes HIV service and advocacy organizations from across the country. The work of the Racial Justice Index will first assess how leadership in the HIV movement reflects the communities most impacted and will later aim to provide training and capacity building to root out white supremacy in HIV organizations’ work.

«As a Black man living with HIV, I am very proud of our diverse coalition of organizations making this commitment to racial justice. Since the start of the HIV epidemic, AIDS United has played an active role to ensure that all who are living with and vulnerable to HIV receive the care they need. We are in a moment where the HIV sector — and the health care sector as a whole — must look inward and ask ourselves if our structures and decisions truly reflect the people and needs of those most impacted by the epidemic. The Public Policy Council has always pushed for responsiveness and inclusiveness across the HIV sector. This carries that work forward in these pressing times when health inequities are at our nation’s forefront. We cannot end HIV without ending the systemic racism that is too often embedded in processes that result in the disparities in new infections and lack of access to care. I know it is time for change, and we are eager to put in the required work to end racist inequities and the imprint of systemic racism in our sector.» — Jesse Milan Jr., President and CEO, AIDS United

«For 21 years, the Black AIDS Institute has led the fight to end HIV from a uniquely and unapologetically Black lens. With Black Empowerment as a central value, our leadership and our staff represent the communities we serve. By partnering with AIDS United and drawing from the intersectional expertise of the 55 Public Policy Council organizations, the Racial Justice Index will catalyze the prioritization of Black leadership, resource allocation, and capacity building. If we are committed to ending HIV within our lifetimes, rectifying the stain of white supremacy in how we do our work must be of the utmost priority.» — Raniyah Copeland, President and CEO, Black AIDS Institute, co-chair of AIDS United’s Racial Justice Index Committee

«HIV, HCV and Substance Use Disorder rage through Black and poor rural communities across the United States, it is critical the organizations are equipped to address the needs or Black people in the rural and Southern communities.  The Racial Index will provide a tool for organizations to better develop staff and meet the growing needs of Black and brown communities.»  — A. Toni Young, Founder and Executive Director, Community Education Group, co-chair of AIDS United’s Racial Justice Index Committee

«We are proud of the AIDS United Public Policy Council for deepening our commitment to racial justice through the important and urgent work to create the racial justice index. This initiative will help us examine the HIV sector’s commitment to racial equity and empower us all with the resources needed to end the HIV epidemic, starting with our own organizations.»
— AIDS United Public Policy Council Co-Chairs Bill Keeton, Vivent Health vice president and chief advocacy officer, and Dr. Tyler TerMeer, Cascade AIDS Project chief executive officer

«On National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I join AIDS United’s Public Policy Council to celebrate the launch of the Racial Justice Index, an initiative designed for HIV service organizations to conduct internal reviews aimed at eliminating racist structures, policies, and hiring practices within them. The HIV/AIDS epidemic’s disproportionate impact on Black Americans is rooted in systemic racism and the Racial Justice Index provides a tool for HIV organizations to reassess their internal structures. The Racial Justice Index is a much needed mechanism to center racial equity at the core of the HIV sector’s commitment to ending the HIV epidemic.» — Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Co-Chair of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus

«I applaud AIDS United for launching the Racial Justice Index on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has had a devastating impact upon African Americans and other communities of color. In order for AIDS service and advocacy organizations to effectively address these devastating disparities, they must accurately reflect the demographics of the people who need their services.»
— Congresswoman Maxine Waters

They observed that though Naples was once most famous for their Margherita pizza and overflowing city bins, the city now buzzes with pride from the native Neapolitans undergoing a new influx of innovation and inspiration. This is all reflected in the one of a kind ancient cultural landmarks married with a growing notoriety for contemporary art, National geographic raves that Naples of today radiates with «old world charm and revitalization».

Beyond these broader city charms, in 2018, National Geographic makes specific mention in their «Top 10 Things To Do In Naples» of the Archeological Site – Napoli Sotteranea – known in English as Naples Underground – the city buried 40 meters beneath the heart of modern day Naples. Through their travels to Naples and as a result of conversations with lead speleologist Vincenzo Albertini, President of the Naples Underground Association, they encourage visitors to take a tour with an insightful guide through the remains of Greek and Roman Naples. Some of the highlights they mention include the aqueducts built by the Greeks and expanded by the Romans, the Neapolitan theatre where Nero performed in ages of old, and finally, the tell-tale signs of the city’s underground was used during WWII as an air raid shelter.

This is such a monumental feature and scientific honor to be featured by the world-renowned National Geographic Society and really speaks in testament to the historical, cultural and educational goldmine that is Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea). National Geographic continues to feature Naples Underground in their Neapolitan highlights and has since gone on to invest in video documentaries which honor the site and showcase its marvel to their world-wide viewership.

Bureau of Reclamation Partners with NASA Tournament Lab and HeroX to Crowdsource Innovative Solution to Limit Water Loss in Canals

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the nation’s largest wholesale water supplier, in partnership with <a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the nation’s largest wholesale water supplier, in partnership with NASA Tournament Lab (NTL) and HeroX, the leading crowdsourcing platform for solutions to global problems, today announced the crowdsourcing competition «Water America’s Crops Challenge.» The challenge calls on the global community of solvers to find an innovative, low-cost, and durable solution that will help reduce water seepage from Reclamation’s canals. Reclamation’s 8,116 miles of canals deliver water across six regions of the Western U.S. and collectively serve over 30 million customers and support 10 million acres of farmland that produce 60% of the nation’s vegetables and 25% of its fruits and nuts. This challenge seeks to reduce the amount of water lost during transport to Reclamation’s customers.

Water conservation has always been a critical initiative, but it has grown more important in the face of extreme droughts, floods, and other climate events. One way to conserve water is to reduce water losses, and specifically seepage of water into the subsurface. Seepage is the gradual loss of water through the base or walls of a canal, and represents the most significant cause of water loss in canals. Seepage may occur through permeable soils, through bedrock fractures, or a combination of both mechanisms. If not adequately addressed, seepage may result in a canal failure, which could be catastrophic for surrounding communities.

Reclamation currently employs a variety of methods for reducing seepage in canals. However, current methods have tradeoffs among effectiveness at reducing water loss, durability, and maintenance requirements—each of which can increase costs for Reclamation and the communities it serves.

This challenge seeks engineering innovations that reduce or eliminate these tradeoffs with an effective, durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective solution that can address canal seepage in a variety of regions and conditions.

«This is the sort of challenge the HeroX community is made for,» said Christian Cotichini, CEO of HeroX. «The water seepage problem impacts a critical part of our infrastructure, and we are in need of innovations that are effective and economically sustainable.This is where the crowd can step in, with brilliant minds working worldwide to protect one of our most valuable resources: our water.»

The Challenge: The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking to accelerate new approaches and solutions for reducing seepage that can demonstrate strong performance in a laboratory environment and quickly scale toward field testing and commercialization. Solvers whose proposals are chosen as finalists will receive a prize purse at the end of Phase 1; testing and performance results of their prototype at Reclamation labs at the end of Phase 2; and an opportunity to pitch to Reclamation customers and communities at a showcase event after the end of Phase 2. The winner of the challenge will exhibit strong technical performance and be well-positioned to attract customers in Reclamation communities after the challenge is won.

HeroX is a social network for crowdsourcing innovation and human ingenuity, co-founded in 2013 by serial entrepreneur, Christian Cotichini and XPRIZE Founder and Futurist, Peter Diamandis.

S&P Global Announces Ambitious Climate Actions on Its Way to Achieving Net Zero by 2040

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) announced ambitious targets to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the goal of countering the adverse effects of climate change, supporting a net-zero economy and publicly reinforcing its commitment to sustainable corporate citizenship.

The Company committed to a 25% reduction in emissions by 2025 using 2019 as a base year. These targets were recently validated by the <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) announced ambitious targets to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the goal of countering the adverse effects of climate change, supporting a net-zero economy and publicly reinforcing its commitment to sustainable corporate citizenship.

The Company committed to a 25% reduction in emissions by 2025 using 2019 as a base year. These targets were recently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) that drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets. Through actions taken to achieve these planned emissions reductions, S&P Global aims to be net-zero by 2040.

«Global firms play a significant role in addressing the environmental challenges that affect us all, and at S&P Global, we embrace this responsibility,» said Ewout Steenbergen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for S&P Global. «We are proud that the SBTi validated our goals and see them as a step forward in S&P Global’s sustainability journey, building on our long history of transparency and disclosure – including our early support for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.»

Highlights of S&P Global’s commitments include:

  • A 25% reduction in emissions by 2025 from a 2019 base year, including both absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions from operations as well as absolute scope 3 emissions from business travel.
  • A target covering scope 1 and 2 emissions that is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, the most ambitious scenario available in the SBTi process.

S&P Global also continues to lead in its commitment to proactive and transparent disclosure, and in its 2020 TCFD report, became one of the first companies to introduce a Carbon Adjusted Earnings Per Share metric into its financial reporting. The measure – calculated based on the theoretical cost per share of the tons of CO2 in each period subtracted from regular earnings per share – provides greater transparency into the cost of carbon emissions from company operations and integrates climate change considerations in the decision-making process.

Steenbergen recently signed the CFO Net Zero Statement of Support organized by Accounting for Sustainability (A4S), where he joined other global financial leaders in committing to continued emissions reductions in support of the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. He serves as a founding member of the East Coast Chapter of the A4S CFO Leadership Network.

Further demonstrating the Company’s focus on climate action, S&P Global is a proud sponsor of UN Climate Change to support and advance work for global climate action, particularly through upcoming events such as COP26 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference).

The Company has also signed on to the Business Ambition for 1.5º C, reiterating its commitment to work toward a 1.5º C scenario on the road to a zero-emissions economy.

«Climate stewardship is a key focus of our broader sustainability efforts,» said Annette O’Hanlon, Chief Corporate Responsibility & Diversity Officer for S&P Global. «Through our work with UN Climate Change, as well as our support for Business Ambition for 1.5º C, we are contributing to tangible progress in bringing about a more sustainable future.»
