Florida Atlantic University, Department of Civil Engineering 777 Glades Road 36/222, Boca Raton, FL 33431-0091 (561) 297-3099 ▪ (561) 297-0493 (FAX) Laboratories for Engineered Environmental Solutions June 12, 2008 “Green Lodging Project Phase 3: Green Lodging Performance Measures” Executive Summary It has been documented that the Green Lodging Certification Program practices are generally effective in reducing multi-media waste streams and thus resulting into a cleaner environment, financial benefit, and positive publicity to the participating hotel businesses. Green Lodging practices are applied with respect to (a) water conservation, (b) solid waste management and waste reduction, (c) energy efficiency, (d) clean air practices, and e) communications. This study is the third part of a multi-phase project. The first two phases focused on identifying and updating best management practices and pollution prevention technologies for the four key areas of the Florida Green Lodging Program (i.e. a-e above). The first phase focused on (a) water conservation and (b) solid waste management and waste reduction, while the second phase included: (a) energy efficiency and (b) clean air practices. After this information was made available, the next phase is focused on targeted pilot projects for selected candidate facilities to implement and monitor to determine the maximum return on the investment in terms of reduced water and energy demands, pollution prevented, tons of waste diverted, and indoor environments protected. Results will provide a clearer understanding of currently available practices and their environmental and economic benefits as well as future conservation initiatives needed to maximize the positive impacts of the Florida Green Lodging Program. The scope of work for Phase 1 (solid waste management/waste reduction and water conservation) was completed in June 2006. Phase 2, which focused on energy efficiency and clean air practices, was similarly structured and was completed in the spring of 2007. Phase 3, reported here, contains a preliminary targeted action plan based on the needs of the two candidate facilities This report contains the results of a walkthrough assessment, critical review of baseline expenditures for utilities, and data analysis regarding (a) water conservation, b) solid waste minimization, c) energy efficiency and (d) clean air practices obtained from the two participating hotels. A list of potential green vendors was assembled to provide the participating hotels with options for pilot projects to address their most pressing needs.

When the founder steps down, a young alum whose life was saved by the drumline rises to mentor the next generation in the face of systemic injustices. SYNOPSIS The critically-acclaimed, audience favorite RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT is an immersive story of music, love, and legacies set in the American South. For three decades, the dynamic Ed “Nardie” White offered a path to empowerment to Black youth in Louisville, Kentucky through his Pan-African community drum corps. When he decides to step down, Albert Shumake, an alum whose life was saved by the drumline, returns home to carry “the spirit of the drum” forward for the next generation. During the year-long changing of the guard, young drummers Imani, Jailen, and Emily navigate the cadences of adolescence even as systemic forces threaten to undermine their dreams. Directors Marlon Johnson and Anne Flatté deliver a vital and insightful tale that shows how art, love and mentors can transform a child’s life.
