Shoreline Recovery Center and sister center Park Mental Health collect donations for food drive partnership with San Diego Food Bank

SAN DIEGO - November 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Shoreline Recovery Center and its sister site Park Mental Health are more than facilities that only offer addiction recovery services. They are devoted to the development of purpose. That's why as part of its mission to give back to the community it serves, Shoreline Recovery Center is partnering with the San Diego Food Bank by having a holiday food drive this season. 

"Part of any good recovery program are their acts of service and being of service," said Shoreline's Executive Director Kate Judd. "This is one way to encourage our clients to give back during the holidays while creating important connections within the community." 

The food drive for the San Diego Food Bank begins on Nov. 22 and runs through Dec. 17. While it's closed to the public in order to protect client confidentiality, nonperishable donations are being accepted internally from family, friends and staff members.  

The core values of Shoreline are embedded in its curriculum and include the development of purpose, self-compassion, responsibility, resilience and community. These values are instilled in clients throughout a minimum six-month plan that begins with an intentional connection with experts and moves through a strategic plan to implement and then transition out of the facility with goals to achieve sober, independent living. 

A safe haven for individuals in crisis, Shoreline Recovery Center lays the foundation for hope and resilience through programs that give them the foundational tools they need in order to become better fathers, partners and functioning, contributing citizens. Upon graduation, these self-actualized men learn how to reacclimate into their communities, and in some cases, go into business for themselves and many of them end up working in the recovery industry. 

Reaching sobriety after struggling with addiction or substance use disorder is a significant accomplishment and getting patients actively involved in things bigger than themselves is a critical part of their overall recovery. Shoreline Recovery Center's aftercare programs are designed to help the patients maximize everything that was learned to maintain the newer healthy and sober lifestyle. 

"The clients we work with come to us as individuals who would otherwise create less than favorable outcomes for themselves and their community," said Executive Director Kate Judd. "In the last five years, there's definitely been a ripple effect with the majority of guys that have advanced through our program." 

Craig Burson, Kate Judd and Robert Wilson founded the company five years ago to create treatment programs that blend evidence-based therapies, clinical best practices as well as expand job skills and training.

"Each of us are in recovery and began working in the addiction and recovery field because we wanted to contribute to others facing similar struggles," Judd said. "We teach people how to take care of themselves so they can ultimately help others."

Join the celebration Nov. 18

ATLANTA - November 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

When the sun goes down Friday, Nov. 18, darkened skylines across the country will be peppered with a warm hue of green as bridges, monuments, government buildings and businesses join hospitals and trauma centers and become beacons of light to raise awareness about the burden of injuries and violence, the number one killers of people 1-44 years. It will mark the end of the 3rd National Injury Prevention Day (NIPD), a day where Safe States Alliance and the nation's top prevention advocates join forces and push for change. 

Safe States joins other leading injury and violence prevention (IVP) organizations, such as the Injury Free Coalition for Kids, Safe Kids Worldwide, the American Trauma Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Be SMART -- a program of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research, the Trauma Center Association of America, JPMA Cares, and I'm Safe, to empower and equip communities to make a difference. Access the full list of organizations signing an NIPD letter of support here: https://bit.ly/NIPDletter

We are working for change in a year where lives were needlessly taken in places deemed safe: homes, playgrounds, schools, and grocery stores. Together we want to end the heartache left by preventable injuries and deaths from suicides, motor vehicle crashes, drownings, fires, drug overdoses, and more than 40 mass shootings.   

"It takes all of us to make a difference," Barbara Barlow, MD, Professor of Surgery in Epidemiology at Columbia University and Founder of the Injury Free Coalition for Kids said. "We must promote the use of safe practices, using safety products, and implement strong legislative policies."

NIPD will kick-off at 10:00 a.m. EST with a one-hour virtual event, featuring US Public Health Service Captain Christopher Jones, PharmD, DrPH, MPH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Acting Director for the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Dr. Jones joins the country's top IVP organizations to sound the alarm about the need for and promise of prevention. 

At 1:00 p.m. EST, the public is invited to take part in a live national conversation about the country's top injury and violence concerns on Twitter using the hashtag #BeInjuryFree. Throughout the day IVP professionals from coast to coast will lead activities and distribute tools to create safer environments. Learn more about scheduled NIPD activities at https://injuryfree.org/nationalinjurypreventionday/2022.

"National Injury Prevention Day focuses on the fact that injuries and violence are predictable and preventable and that increased public health investments can both save lives and reduce health care costs," Safe States Executive Director, Richard Hamburg adds.

Scope3 measurement gives clients accurate insights into carbon costs to optimize for results and sustainability

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - November 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Bidtellect, a leading demand-side platform and advertising technology company, today announced a first-of-its-kind integration with Scope3, the only company to report true supply chain emissions data. The integration will offer Bidtellect clients transparency into the carbon cost of their advertising campaigns and the tools to reduce their emissions directly via the Bidtellect platform. 

"Digital programmatic media has always been accused - justifiably - of being far too complex, and we now know that its waste comes with a high cost to the environment. If you are an agency or a brand that values and prioritizes buying media based on its carbon footprint, Bidtellect is the only buying platform that puts actionable tools based on Scope3's unique data in your hands today," said Lon Otremba, CEO of Bidtellect.

Digital technologies are responsible for up to 5.9% of total greenhouse gas emissions, of which Internet advertising is a significant contributor. The energy consumption of these technologies is increasing by 9% a year (World Economic Forum). 

Media waste is a major culprit. A study by ISBA and PwC found that half of online ad money is being siphoned off by the adtech ecosystem before it reaches publishers. Of that, about one-third of the money was "completely untraceable." Eighty-eight percent of dollars could not be traced from end to end. 

Scope3 brings granular visibility into the advertising supply chain by measuring the carbon emissions of every single part of the ad journey, allowing partners to seamlessly incorporate its data into their technology platforms. Bidtellect users will now have accurate insights into the carbon impact of their campaigns. More importantly, they will be able to take immediate action in the platform with ease - choosing or blocking domains, creating specific allow lists, and more - based on Scope3's carbon data. Initial data point to a strong correlation between low carbon emission sites and higher quality of supply.

"When brands have accurate emissions measurement data available in the same place they are executing media buys, it's a lot easier to factor carbon into optimization decisions. Bidtellect is paving the way while prioritizing action," said Brian O'Kelley, CEO and Co-Founder of Scope3. "By offering Scope3 data directly in their platform, Bidtellect is giving buyers exactly what they need to make progress on sustainability commitments, improve advertising and proactively reduce carbon emissions."

Forty-nine percent of executives surveyed in October by Deloitte believed sustainability efforts will have a positive impact on their brand and reputation and 76% of advertisers want the industry to further reduce carbon emissions according to eMarketer.

TINTON FALLS, N.J. - November 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Today, Ecogy Energy ("Ecogy"), in partnership with the American Red Cross, unveiled their latest renewable energy project. The 120.1 kWdc solar system, developed by Brooklyn-based Ecogy, will provide the nonprofit with all the solar energy it needs to offset annual on-site electricity use, making the building net-zero.

The Red Cross New Jersey Region entered the solar development process with their local community at heart and top of mind. By installing solar on-site, the Red Cross will not only reduce their own need for electricity but will also help New Jersey reach its goal of 50% renewable energy sources by 2030.

The first rooftop solar array system (completed in 2022) will directly provide power for on-site usage. The second system, however, will be a community solar project that will provide no-cost subscriptions to local residents. These subscriptions will enable local households to access renewable energy and receive a discount on a portion of their electric bill with no cost to sign up.

"The savings generated by building this solar system atop our roof will allow us to commit even more resources to providing quality support to communities and families in need," said Rosie Taravella, regional chief executive officer, American Red Cross New Jersey Region. "As a humanitarian organization that serves families and communities impacted by climate disasters, our goal is to minimize our own environmental footprint. We're excited to be doing our part here in New Jersey."

The 120.1 kWdc rooftop system will produce roughly 2.7 million kilowatt-hours of electricity over the next 20 years, equivalent to powering 19 homes over the same term, or the emissions avoided from burning over 2.1 million pounds of coal.

The above environmental benefits afforded by the solar array will be instrumental in helping the Red Cross become a more sustainable organization, while also creating a blueprint for future installations. 

Rooftop systems provide the added benefit of maintaining undisturbed areas such as greenfields and forests. By developing on the built environment, no additional impervious surfaces were created, groundwater flow remains the same, and no trees were cut down. 

"The American Red Cross is a pillar of light and hope for communities across the globe." Commented Jack Bertuzzi, CEO, Ecogy Energy. "It is an honor to support the Red Cross in furthering the deployment of renewable energy. We are continually impressed by their dedication to supporting communities, and we hope to continue to work with them in the future."

Brooklyn-based developer, financier, and owner-operator Ecogy will sell the power produced by the system back to the Red Cross through a power purchase agreement. In exchange, Ecogy will retain the Solar Renewable Energy Credits ("SREC") generated for each MW of solar energy and have the option to trade or sell them like a stock option.

TIME Awards the Revolutionary Technology in the AIRNOGGIN Soft Safety Helmet Special Mention as One of The Best Inventions of 2022

NEW YORK - November 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

 Airnoggin, the revolutionary new safety helmet that uses a proprietary soft material instead of a hard shell, has received a coveted special mention by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2022. The accolade is made public live today on Time.com. Airnoggin's patented and innovative new soft material is proven to protect just as well as hard helmets and has been awarded a 5-star rating by Virginia Tech Helmet Lab. This innovative system is now available for the first time in the soft Airnoggin helmet. Available exclusively on www.airnoggin.com.

Airnoggin's patented helmet technology took years of testing and research to perfect and is the only product on the market like it. To the surprise of professional testers, the soft safety helmet exceeded every U.S. CPSC and European EN1078 safety standard for bicycles, skateboards, and e-bikes/scooters.

The proprietary technology in the Airnoggin helmet was discovered by entrepreneur Jeffrey Klein, who realized that the rise of the micro-mobility industry in the U.S. was accompanied by a growing number of accidents and cases of head trauma. Carrying a hard-shell helmet wherever you go from work to evening hours just isn't compatible with many people's lifestyle. What if a helmet could be soft and could easily fold up and fit into your bag? This idea led to the development of a revolutionary material that is set to transform the self-safety market. Airnoggin is the first protective gear product to use this special soft material. The Airnoggin is inflatable and comes with its own carrying case. When inflated, the helmet looks like a trend-forward hard shell. The company is developing new soft-fabric versions that offer the same level of safety with street wear appeal.

Airnoggin exists to make self-safety second nature. The company envisions a world where everyone can move with confidence, and safety is as easy as riding a bike.
