IDEAS Hive St.Pete: Green Buildings Month!
2019-09-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Iberian Rooster, 475 Central Avenue North #100, St Petersburg, FL, 33701, United States
Ever want to learn about green buildings and why sustainable buildings are so important?
This month we are welcoming LEED certified industry leaders and special guests to come out and talk about all things green buildings! As always, we will engage in hands-on discussions and activities to further explore the world of green buildings.
According to the most recent IPCC report, a “rapid and far-reaching” sustainable transition in land, energy, buildings, transport and cities is needed to meet global carbon reduction goals. Buildings account for almost 40 percent of global energy-related CO2 and will play a major role in a sustainable transformation.
Green buildings, like those that are LEED certified, are a global solution for cities, communities and neighborhoods. The tangible benefits may not be easily recognizable to tenants or visitors, but through sustainable design, construction and operations green buildings are reducing carbon emissions, energy and waste; conserving water; prioritizing safer materials; and lowering our exposure to toxins.
See you there!

Lily Hoehn has Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis is a rare condition (literally 1 : 1,000,000) in which the bones have lesions, inflammation, and pain. This autoinflammatory disease triggers the immune system to over-produce a specific protein in the body which creates lesions on the skeletal system that eat through the bones. As the lesions eat through the bones tremendous pain is experienced.
Her mother, Sheila, has offered the Zen Life Center as a venue to screen the film for her daughter’s fundraiser.

Equalizer Watch Party: In Partnership with Ladies Get Paid
2019-06-20 15:00 - 17:00, 2019-06-16 11:30 - 13:30 | FL
In soccer, female athletes make just a fraction of what their male counterparts make for the same work. The gender pay gap is an issue across sports and across industries, but women are continuing to push boundaries and make change on and off the field.
This June, Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker and Ladies Get Paid will toast to those who are working to even the score with a series of Equalizer watch parties. Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker, the first-ever female iteration of the Johnnie Walker Striding Man icon, is a celebration of the achievements of women and all those on the journey towards progress in gender equality.
During select matches of this summer’s women’s international soccer competition, guests can cheer on the home team and the women pushing boundaries for equal pay at participating bars and restaurants across the country while enjoying signature, soccer-inspired Johnnie Walker cocktails.
All watch party attendees can also access the Ladies Get Paid salary negotiation online course using the form below, courtesy of Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker.
