Love Your Mother (Earth) This Mother’s Day with Organic Apparel from Rodale Institute & YES AND

Collaborating with artist Hannah Eddy, proceeds of Rodale Institute and YES AND’s new “Don’t Hate, Regenerate” design will empower farmers to transition to organic

Kutztown, PA, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Mother’s Day approaches, organic farming nonprofit Rodale Institute encourages everyone to “love your Mother Earth” and grow more organic acres with their new t-shirt collaboration with YES AND Apparel and artist Hannah Eddy.

 

Rodale Institute’s newest certified organic cotton t-shirts, manufactured by YES AND, feature an original illustration by Eddy, proclaiming, “Don’t Hate, Regenerate.” The shirts are available in a variety of sizes at the Rodale Institute online store and in person at their Kutztown headquarters’ Visitor Center. Proceeds will benefit Rodale Institute’s mission to heal people and the planet through regenerative organic farming.  

 

Rodale Institute has been researching regenerative organic agriculture for nearly 75 years, encouraging consumers to consider the impact of agriculture on their health, the planet, and their communities. While organic food and fiber has grown in popularity over the last decade, reaching $55 billion in US sales in the last year, regenerative organic sourcing in apparel is still in its infancy.

 

“The market for organic food is booming as people focus on their personal health,” said Diana Martin, Director of Communications & Marketing for Rodale Institute. “But to support the health of both people and the planet—we need to reach for organic whenever we buy agricultural products, including fashion and fiber. We are excited to launch this collaboration to show that regenerative organic agriculture is fun and fashion-forward while supporting healthy soil, clean air and water, and biodiversity. The future of organic apparel is bright!”

 

Founded by Rodale Institute Ambassador Marci Zaroff, YES AND apparel was created to banish the stigma that sustainable fashion must sacrifice style, quality, fit, color, comfort or price. YES AND puts both women’s empowerment and the environment at the forefront of every decision, showing that fashion is not at odds with sustainability. All YES AND products are organic and GOTS certified, low impact dyed, GMO-free, and ethically made.

 

“We spend most of our lives with textiles against our largest and primary organ for absorption, our skin. Thousands of chemicals used in conventional cotton farming and throughout the textile supply chain end up against our skin,” said Zaroff. “It doesn’t just matter what we put in our bodies, but also what we put ON them. Similarly, soil is the skin of the Earth—how we farm matters. We’ve partnered with Rodale Institute because we share the belief that we can heal much of the climate damage that humans have created through regenerative organic farming—so we can wear the change we all wish to see in the world.”

 

Hannah Eddy is an illustrator, painter, and muralist based in Reno, Nevada. Her work spreads positivity and encourages an appreciation for nature in a way that’s fun, colorful, and funky. Her work has been featured by Intersectional Environmentalist, Camelbak, Protect Our Winters, and more.

 

“I love to partner with companies, brands, and nonprofits that are working to make the world a better place, which is why a Rodale Institute collaboration was right up my alley,” said Eddy. “My design was inspired by the concept of regenerative organic agriculture, which recognizes that everything is connected. Every part needs to be working together to maximize nutrients in the soil, biodiversity, a healthy water cycle, and an overall happier planet. Less hating, more regenerating!”

 

Proceeds from the sale of these products will support Rodale Institute’s mission, which includes Organic Farm Consulting Services launched in 2019. This service puts trained agronomists on farms seeking to transition to organic, providing one-on-one mentorship and guidance through organic certification, crop planning, market strategies, and more. In under two years of operation, Rodale Institute’s consulting services have gained over 200 farmer clients and continue to grow throughout the country.

 

Rodale Institute, YES AND, and Hannah Eddy will hold an Instagram Live conversation about this collaboration on May 4th at 4PM ET. Join the conversation by following Rodale Institute at @rodaleinstitute, YES AND at @yesand, and Hannah Eddy at @hannaheddyart.

 

Followers can also enter an exclusive Instagram giveaway on these channels for their own Don’t Hate, Regenerate shirt, a limited-edition Hannah Eddy print, Rodale Institute branded merchandise, and a $200 gift card to YES AND, which runs until May 12. Follow @rodaleinstitute, @yesand, and @hannaheddyart for details.

 

“Don’t Hate, Regenerate” shirts can be purchased at the Rodale Institute online store at RodaleInstitute.org/OnlineStore.

 

 

About Rodale Institute: Rodale Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to growing the organic movement through rigorous research, farmer training, and consumer education. Widely considered the global leader in regenerative organic agriculture, Rodale Institute has been researching the best practices of organic agriculture and sharing findings with farmers, scientists, and consumers throughout the world since 1947. Learn more at RodaleInstitute.org.

 

About YES AND: Founded by ECOlifestyle pioneer and ​ECOfashion Corp ​CEO, Marci Zaroff, ​YES AND was created to banish the stigma that sustainable fashion has to sacrifice style, quality, fit, color, comfort or price. With an edgy, flattering, and fun vibe, ​YES AND empowers consumers to look good, feel good and do good in the world. Certified organic, low-impact dyed and ethically made, ​YES AND introduces responsible, high-quality fashion to direct-to-consumer retail at an accessible price point.

About TFF Pharmaceuticals’ Thin Film Freezing technology platform

TFF Pharmaceuticals’ Thin Film Freezing (TFF) platform was designed to improve the solubility and absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs and is particularly suited to generate dry powder particles with properties targeted for inhalation delivery, especially to the deep lung, an area of extreme interest in respiratory medicine. The TFF process results in a “Brittle Matrix Particle,” which possesses low bulk density, high surface area, and typically an amorphous morphology, allowing the particles to supersaturate when contacting the target site, such as lung tissue. Based upon laboratory experiments, the aerodynamic properties of the particles are such that the portion of a drug deposited to the deep lung has the potential to reach as high as 75 percent.

About TFF Pharmaceuticals

TFF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative drug products based on its patented Thin Film Freezing, or TFF, technology platform. Early testing confirms that the TFF platform can significantly improve the solubility and absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs, a class of drugs that comprises approximately one-third of the major pharmaceuticals worldwide, thereby improving their pharmacokinetics. TFF Pharmaceuticals has two lead drug candidates: Voriconazole Inhalation Powder and Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder. The Company plans to add to this pipeline by collaborating with large pharmaceutical partners. The TFF Platform is protected by 42 patents issued or pending in the US and internationally.

About Resonant’s ISN
®
Design Technology

Resonant can create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be manufactured for half the cost and developed in half the time of traditional approaches. ISN is a suite of proprietary mathematical methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques that enable us to explore a much larger set of possible design solutions that regularly incorporate our proprietary technology. We then quickly deliver design simulations to our customers, which they manufacture or have manufactured by one of our foundry partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) manufacturing methods and perform as well as those using higher cost manufacturing methods such as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW). Resonant’s method delivers excellent predictability, enabling achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as many turns through the fab. In addition, because Resonant’s models are fundamental, integration with its foundry and fab customers is seamless because its models speak the “fab language” of basic material properties and dimensions.

S&P Dow Jones Indices Launches Cryptocurrency Index Series Including S&P Bitcoin Index

New index series includes S&P Bitcoin Index, S&P Ethereum Index and S&P Crypto Mega Cap Index

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI), the world’s leading index provider, has officially launched its new series of digital asset benchmarks, the S&P Digital Market Indices. These new S&P-branded indices will measure the performance of digital assets listed on recognized open cryptocurrency exchanges.

At launch, the index series includes the following:

Later this year, the S&P Digital Market Indices series will include additional coins and broader-based indices such as large cap and broad market benchmarks.

The indices use pricing data from Lukka, a crypto software and data provider, to determine the eligibility universe and pricing of individual constituents. S&P DJI’s Index Committee administers the indices.  S&P DJI first announced new cryptocurrency asset index capabilities with Lukka in December 2020.

The market for cryptocurrency assets continues to grow and with that, investor demand for benchmarking and index-based solutions based on crypto and blockchain assets is more essential than ever. The Digital Market Indices will make it easier for investors to access and assess this emerging technology-driven asset class while potentially mitigating some of the common risks associated with this traditionally speculative market.

“Traditional financial markets and digital assets are no longer mutually exclusive markets,” said Peter Roffman, Global Head of Innovation and Strategy at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “As cryptocurrency becomes more mainstream, investors now have access to reliable and transparent benchmarks backed by institutional quality pricing data. We look forward to further expanding our new family of Digital Market Indices and bringing much needed transparency to this exciting market.”

In addition to the new S&P Digital Market Indices, S&P DJI also launched customized cryptocurrency indexing solutions at the end of last year. Since then in the first quarter of 2021, IDX Insights launched a series of risk-managed custom cryptocurrency indices – the first based on S&P DJI’s custom cryptocurrency indexing capabilities.

ABOUT S&P DOW JONES INDICES

S&P Dow Jones Indices is the largest global resource for essential index-based concepts, data and research, and home to iconic financial market indicators, such as the S&P 500® and the Dow Jones Industrial Average®. More assets are invested in products based on our indices than products based on indices from any other provider in the world. Since Charles Dow invented the first index in 1884, S&P DJI has been innovating and developing indices across the spectrum of asset classes helping to define the way investors measure and trade the markets.

S&P Dow Jones Indices is a division of S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI), which provides essential intelligence for individuals, companies, and governments to make decisions with confidence. For more information, visit www.spglobal.com/spdji/.

PR Newswire

STRATHAM, N.H., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Rehrig Pacific recently announced it was selected by leading waste hauler Casella (NASDAQ: CWST) to manufacture and distribute recycling carts made from recycled plastic for the Town of Stratham, New Hampshire under a new sustainability initiative.

The Town of Stratham received a grant from The Recycling Partnership to help pay for recycling carts to increase recycling in the community. Casella was awarded the collection contract. Among the requirements of the grant is that the residential recycling carts used by the Town must be made from at least 5% post-consumer recycled material. Rehrig Pacific, using a proprietary process, can manufacture carts with an industry-leading 40% post-consumer recyclate without compromising strength or curb appeal.                                                                                                          

“Rehrig Pacific was an obvious choice,” said Brian Groshon, Market Area Manager at Casella. “They are leaders in sustainability initiatives across our industry and align to our goals. They use the highest quantities of recyclate in their carts while still being able to achieve exceptional quality and the desired branding goals of our municipal partners.”  

Rehrig Pacific has developed a proprietary process called co-injection that inserts high levels of recycled plastic between a virgin plastic shell, allowing vast reductions in raw material consumed without sacrificing structural integrity, longevity, or appearance. Rehrig Pacific offers the same warranty on its recycled products, guaranteeing them for the same lifespan as non-recycled alternatives. Moreover, Rehrig Pacific’s carts are 100% recyclable at the end of their life, further reducing the impact on the environment and helping customers to achieve a net-zero environmental impact. 

“It was an honor to work with Casella on this project,” said Dave Afonso, Senior Sales Representative at Rehrig Pacific. “Casella’s reputation for delivering sustainable services and value is unparalleled. The partnership between our organization, Casella, and The Recycling Partnership has carved out a path for communities like Stratham looking to find forward-thinking, innovative approaches to waste and recycling.”

Casella also sets a high standard for sustainability within its operations. As a leading recycler and resource management provider, they are committed to reclaiming over 2M tons of material annually by 2030 while helping customers reduce greenhouse gas impacts. 

The partnership between Rehrig Pacific and Casella is only the latest in a long series of sustainability innovations for both companies. Rehrig Pacific continues to develop customized closed-loop and circular plastic economy solutions tailor-made to achieve bold sustainability goals, by using alternative recycled content such as PET caps and labels, Bulky Rigid plastics, and Ocean Plastic waste. It is partnerships such as these, that will define the future of sustainability initiatives in the waste and recycling industry.
