EarthPeople Becomes First Sustainability Consultancy in U.S. to Endorse Plastic Disclosure Project

January 6th, 2012


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) January 03, 2012

EarthPeople, a Dallas-based sustainability consulting and communications firm, announced today its status as the first U.S. consultancy to offer companies plastic assessment and reporting services through the Plastic Disclosure Project (PDP). EarthPeople joins the Clinton Global Initiative and other international supporters of the PDP to raise awareness around plastic waste in oceans.

Roughly 33% of plastic is discarded after a single use and approximately 85% of total global plastic used is not recycled. Plastic has the potential to stay in the environment for hundreds of years, negatively impacting over 270 species of animals, waterways, and even human health. The PDP is working with the global business community to create a world in which plastic adds value for consumers and businesses without negatively impacting the environment. Companies participating in the PDP are asked to assess the amount of plastic used in their operations, manufacturing, shipping, and after market waste, and then disclose or report their levels of plastic.

This is a tremendous opportunity for companies to benefit from managing their plastic footprints, said Anna Clark, president of EarthPeople. “EarthPeople wholeheartedly supports this initiative.” The alliance was initiated by EarthPeople consultant Nancy Schneider, who first contacted PDP founder Doug Woodring. At the moment I read about this project, I knew we had to take action, said Ms. Schneider. As someone who is involved with the beach communities in South Florida and part of the sustainability community in Philadelphia, I see the disturbing impacts of plastic everywhere, particularly along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. I believe that companies want to do the right thing and dont imagine their products with their name or logo will end up on the street, in the woods, or in the ocean. That is not the kind of advertising any company wants. By participating in the Plastic Disclosure Project, companies can pro-actively make a difference.

Annual disclosure requests will be made to major plastic-using companies starting at the end of 2011. The primary focus will be on companies in the consumer goods and technology sectors, as well as other service industries such as airlines and hotels that may use or sell plastic-intensive products on a relatively large scale. The PDP and EarthPeople also encourage small-to-medium sized companies to be involved, as some may have new solutions or best practices that could be applied on a larger scale. Universities, hospitals, and local governments are also invited to disclose their plastic footprint.

About PDP

The Plastic Disclosure Project is a project of the Hong Kong and California-based Ocean Recovery Alliance (ORA). The Ocean Recovery Alliance is focused on bringing innovation, technologies, creativity and collaborations together to address some of the challenges that face the ocean and our broader environment. The PDPs lead operating partner is the Association for Sustainable and Responsible Investment in Asia (ASrIA), an operating partner in Asia for the Carbon Disclosure Project. For details, visit http://www.plasticdisclosure.org.

About EarthPeople

EarthPeople is a consulting and communications firm that transforms organizations through profitable sustainability strategies. Since opening in 2005, EarthPeople has engaged stakeholders in corporate social responsibility initiatives for clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Among its services, EarthPeople offers plastic disclosure and reporting services and Life Cycle Assessments, as well as a full range of communications services, to companies, NGOs and local governments.

FD Stonewater Supports Foulger-Pratt in Brokering Major 1.0 Million SF Renewal of NOAA at Silver Spring Metro Plaza

December 26th, 2011


Arlington, Virginia (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

FD Stonewater, in representation of its client Foulger Pratt, provided brokerage services to help secure a 15-year lease renewal for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) headquarters in Silver Spring, MD. The new leases are for just over 1.0 million square feet, consisting of the near entirety of Silver Spring Metro Plaza Buildings 2, 3 and 4 (each tower is subject to a separate co-terminus lease agreement). The NOAA headquarters is one of the Federal Governments top-ten largest leased properties nationwide, and NOAA has been the lead tenant in the complex since its original construction. Under the new agreements, NOAA will remain in occupancy through the end of 2028.

The NOAA headquarters is a best-in-class example of transit oriented development sitting atop the Silver Spring Metro Station in the heart of this important suburb of Washington DC. In support of Foulger-Pratt, FD Stonewater worked for over three years to complete extensive pre-procurement analysis of the property to help assure it would conform to the Federal Governments updated property standards, and assisted Foulger-Pratt in transaction negotiations which will result in substantive upgrades to the properties and a long-term commitment to the buildings and community by NOAA and the Federal Government.

About FD Stonewater

FD Stonewater was formed through the recent merger of two boutique real estate firms, FD Partners based in Arlington, Virginia and Stonewater Partners of New York and Los Angeles. The merger brings together a combined track record of more than $ 10 billion in investment, advisory, development and acquisitions and over 37 million square feet of lease transactions, to offer a fully-integrated, national real estate platform with capabilities in Principal Investment, Development, Advisory and Brokerage activities.

Celebrity Broadcaster Lelani Clark Interviews Ellen Barkin Star of “Another Happy Day” on WBAI 99.5 FM

December 5th, 2011


New York, NY (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

Lelani Clark, Host of “Movies that Move” on WBAI 99.5 FM, a Pacifica Network station, interviews Ellen Barkin to discuss her role of a lifetime as the star of the new film “Another Happy Day”. In the dark comedy “Another Happy Day” written and directed by Sam Levinson, the son of acclaimed filmmaker Barry Levinson, we are brought into the complex web of secrets and lies of a family falling apart at the seams.

Ellen Barkin is a tour de force as the lead character of Lynn, a neurotic mother who has lost herself within her own family’s dysfunction. Everything comes to a head when family members re-unite at a family wedding and old wounds are brought to the surface. Ellen is joined by a great ensemble cast, including Ellen Burstyn, Demi Moore, George Kennedy, Kate Bosworth, Thomas Hayden Church and Ezra Miller that bring more emotional fodder to this family drama.

The film echos films like Rachel Getting Married where the modern family is portrayed in a much darker, more fallible light. Barkin has already been a scene stealer in films like Diner, The Big Easy, Sea of Love, Ocean’s Thirteen and Brooklyn’s Finest, but with this powerhouse performance, she is already garnering early Oscar buzz. Lelani Clark sits down with Barkin to talk about how she was hand picked for this role, being a maverick in the industry and how at 50 plus she has kept her mojo working, despite the typical Hollywood shuffle.

Lelani Clark is the host and producer of the weekly radio show Movies that Move on WBAI 99.5 FM. The show features celebrity interviews and film reviews, with a special spotlight on independent films in partnership with The Creative Coalition. As a Radio and TV personality and active journalist, Ms. Clark has been featured on ABCs 20/20, BET, HGTV and in New York Post Page Six, New York Daily News, TMZ, CNN.com and MTV.com.
