The much anticipated debut science fiction novel “BAMBOO: A Post-Apocalyptic Odyssey” by Clark Hilton is on sale now, in time for holiday gifting.

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/17/2023 -- In this spellbinding speculative climate fiction, "BAMBOO: A Post-Apocalyptic Odyssey," Clark Hilton paints a near future nightmare in lyrical prose. The story is set in an inundated, savage domain of rough men and flesh-hungry beasts, where unfolds a dark-skinned teen girl's epic journey to find love in a loveless world.

In a not-too-distant tomorrow, Gen, just 16, journeys from her lonely family farm in search of a gleaming utopia filled with excitement, new friends… maybe even love. But Earth's fury tumbles her into a brutish world beyond her imagination. Gen holds the key to saving the world. Can she save herself?

From the novel: "A zephyr softly teased her hair with an epiphany — the place she called home was a lie."

The first volume of the BAMBOO series soft-launches November 2023 with the follow-on volume scheduled for late 2024. Hardcover and audiobook will be available soon as well. Publisher spokesperson Art Radley says: "BAMBOO makes a timely gift or stocking stuffer for the sci-fi dystopia fan in your life."

BAMBOO is general adult and new adult speculative climate fiction with literary execution for readers of Margaret Atwood, Blake Crouch, Emily St. John Mandel, and Cormac McCarthy. The tale weaves elements of genetic engineering, environmental disaster, technological failure, loss of history, societal unrest, vain hope, and bottomless despair amid the coming-of-age of a reluctant hero.

The author claims that the story's true source remains elusive, but appears to have been sent to our present day from some future society to warn of humanity's folly. Says Hilton: "I offer BAMBOO as fiction, though I did not set out to write a novel. The story unfolded from a curious artifact I encountered only by chance – a tiny holographic cube, which my tech team painstakingly decrypted. What emerged was a message for the world, and the tale of a teenage girl's remarkable odyssey."

"A genre-melding, mind-bending journey through a brutal near future spiked with the anguished hope of new love." - Books2Flicks.com

Rhode Island Landscaping and Design, leading landscapers in RI, are on a mission to educate property owners about protecting landscaping through winter!

Providence, RI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/31/2023 -- The team at Rhode Island Landscaping and Design is happy to announce their latest initiative when it comes to stunning landscaping for area properties. To ensure everyone's landscaping looks its best year-round, they share their best tips for protecting your lawn and landscaping throughout winter.

"Too many property owners neglect to protect their flowers, shrubs, lawn, and other greens during winter," the company owners note. "They often think that their greens simply go dormant once the cold weather rolls in and will just bounce back in the springtime."

This is very shortsighted, they go on to explain. "Cold weather, ice, snow, and snow clearing salt can harm and even kill even the hardiest outdoor features. Property owners should take steps to protect those greens once autumn starts to wind down. This will reduce the risk of wilted and withered greenery in springtime."

With that in mind, the owners of Rhode Island Landscaping and Design are eager to share their tips for protecting landscaping in Rhode Island during winter months. "Spreading fresh mulch is the first and foremost step a property owner should take," they explain. "Mulch helps lock in soil moisture and heat, protecting the ground from freezing. Additionally, it provides a barrier between the soil and corrosive snow salt and other such chemicals."

Also, the owners note that many plants and flowers die once they come into contact with frost. "To prevent this from happening, cover those plants with thick sheets before winter arrives. You still want to provide some airflow, so use pointed stakes around the plants to keep the sheet from touching them. Then, use more stakes to fasten the sheet to the ground." They note that towels work for individual plants while burlap is also an excellent choice for hedges and other larger greens.

"However, don't use plastic sheeting," they caution. "Even in wintertime, plants and soil both need to breathe to remain healthy. Property owners should use plastic around weeds they want to kill, not plants they want to keep." They stress that property owners can purchase burlap and other coverings made for plants where you get supplies for landscaping in Rhode Island.

Additionally, they note that landscapers in RI recommend spraying plants with bug repellant before winter arrives. "Bugs and insects are still busy eating and laying eggs through the winter months," they stress. "To prevent damage, spray your plants with horticultural oil or another repellant before you cover them or when cold weather rolls in. Also, check for potential pest infestation throughout wintertime and spray those plants again as needed. This will ensure they're strong and green once spring arrives."

They shared one last tip with property owners when it comes to preparing landscaping for winter months. "Don't hesitate to bring in potted plants or remove delicate flowers from soil and put them in pots. You can even bring them onto a covered porch or garage overnight and then put them back into the sunlight during the day. Or, consider investing in a heat lamp where needed, to keep plants warm during severe weather."

They also note that property owners shouldn't remove protective coverings too early in the springtime. "Remember to expect late frosts or changing weather, especially here in Rhode Island! Be sure the weather has changed permanently before replanting delicate blooms or removing protective coverings."

Rhode Island Landscaping and Design is currently offering free landscaping design quotes for area properties. Their team ensures quality designs and expert services backed by a full guarantee you can trust. Additionally, they tailor all designs to fit every property and budget. Their landscapers also provide expert landscaping maintenance year-round, including lawn mowing, shrub trimming, and more. Their office is at 460 Harris Ave #301, Providence, RI 02909. To schedule your no-cost consultation and price quote, visit their website and use their contact form or call them.

Innovative public-private partnership looks to salvage fallen city trees as a vehicle for job training, carbon storage, and reinvestment in community greening.

Philadelphia, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/18/2022 -- A new initiative launched by partners City of Philadelphia Department of Parks & Recreation (PPR), Cambium Carbon, PowerCorpsPHL, and Urban Wood Economy, has been awarded a $277,000 grant by the City of Philadelphia's Operations Transformation Fund (OTF), managed by the City's Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.

While more than 60,000 tons of wood and yard waste are estimated to be generated in Philadelphia each year, a 2019-2020 study found that less than 8% is recycled at the city's Organic Recycling Center (ORC) in Fairmount Park. The "Reforestation Hub" pilot aims to mill salvageable logs into lumber, while providing several associated climate and social impacts.
The $277,000 funding award from OTF will be used to purchase sawmill equipment, and provide critical support in developing the job training program and operation staffing. The pilot aims to recycle more than 20% of the ORC's logs in its first year.
"The Fairmount Park Organic Recycling Center is currently inundated with logs from tree removals and wood debris generated through active urban forest management," said Marc Wilken, Director of Business and Event Development for Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. "We believe there is a real financial opportunity in converting this waste stream into valuable wood products, and are excited to be part of this innovative pilot."

The operation looks to not only reduce the current burden on Philadelphia Parks & Recreation's disposal infrastructure, but also create value from the wood waste stream. Sales of salvaged wood will sustain an ongoing job training program, while providing a source of revenue to support urban forest regeneration. A minimum 15% of all profits from salvaged wood sales will be reinvested in local tree planting and maintenance through the TreePhilly program.

"The Reforestation Hub is a model for the circular economy's potential to benefit people and the planet," said Marisa Repka, Co-Founder & CFO of Cambium Carbon. "Roughly 50% of a tree's biomass is carbon. Through this pilot, we can keep that carbon stored in lumber, rather than released into the atmosphere – all while creating economic value and meaningful careers."

PowerCorpsPHL will staff the lumber yard concession within the ORC. The initiative, operated by EducationWorks, provides paid training programs and pathways to community-based careers. In eight years of operations, the organization has engaged over 800 young people and provided over 800,000 service hours to the city's park system and green infrastructure.
Site construction is currently underway, and full-time operations will launch in early 2023. Salvaged wood generated through the program will be sold and distributed regionally via Cambium Carbon's Traece platform.

About Cambium Carbon
Cambium Carbon uses technology to build local, regenerative, wood supply chains. By turning fallen urban trees into valuable wood products, the company creates waste-to-value revenues to restore local canopies. Cambium Carbon has two goals: to create positive, long-term climate impact and to benefit communities today.

Cambium Carbon PBC, a climate-tech startup building local wood supply chains, has acquired Baltimore mill shop, The Baltimore Fallen Lumber Company (formerly OE Custom), to become a primary supplier of Carbon-Smart Wood™ on the east coast. The newly integrated business will expand the availability of sustainably-sourced urban wood for regional architects, furniture manufacturers, and national hardwood buyers while enabling deep in-house wood processing expertise for Cambium Carbon.

Washington, DC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/18/2022 -- Cambium Carbon PBC, a climate-tech startup building local wood supply chains, has acquired Baltimore mill shop, The Baltimore Fallen Lumber Company (formerly OE Custom), to become a primary supplier of Carbon-Smart Wood™ on the east coast. The newly integrated business will expand the availability of sustainably-sourced urban wood for regional architects, furniture manufacturers, and national hardwood buyers while enabling deep in-house wood processing expertise for Cambium Carbon.

Longtime friends Paul Timmins and John Ferrara started OE Custom (now The Baltimore Fallen Lumber Company) in 2001. Ferrara was working as a neuro-trauma critical-care nurse; Timmins was an experienced construction worker looking to do something new. Timmins and Ferrara recognized that high-quality urban lumber was being wasted in their own backyard, and that they could turn that wood into valuable products…and OE Custom was born!

While they didn't start off calling it Carbon-Smart Wood™, that's exactly what their core business produces. They take locally fallen urban trees destined for the landfill, process them locally into products or building projects, reducing carbon emissions at every step and planting new trees in neighborhoods that need them most.

When Ben Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Cambium Carbon shared Cambium's broader vision of creating a regenerative, nationally-local wood supply chain, Timmins and Ferrara were intrigued. They have now teamed up to educate the national market about the benefits of wood reuse and connecting suppliers and buyers.

Paul Timmins, Owner of The Baltimore Fallen Lumber Company said, "This acquisition helps to elevate urban wood nationally as a viable material for high-quality furniture products and building manufacturing."

Ben Christensen said, "This move enables research and development for large orders as Cambium Carbon aggregates suppliers and big buyers onto its SaaS platform, Traece, which has moved $3.7M of wood to date."

About Cambium Carbon
At Cambium Carbon, we're using technology to build local, regenerative wood supply chains that create green jobs and help address climate change. We divert fallen city trees from heading to the landfill, turn them into quality Carbon Smart WoodTM products and reinvest 15% of profits into planting trees in local communities that need them most.

Children Newscasters Ages 6 and Up Teach Kids about the Taliban, Gay Rights.

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/28/2021 -- Annabel, a middle school student in the State of Washington just launched a news show for kids called 'Extinction Status.' Annabel wants "to change the world by spreading awareness of endangered species." Ryan, a teen in New Hampshire and the Founding Artistic Director of The Fletcher Family Theatre, is launching a show called Gen Z on Gen Z. In his words: 'Gen Z on Gen Z is an interactive, biweekly news show for middle and high schoolers focusing on current events that relate to the future of Gen Z.' His first episode tackles the age-old issue of school dress codes.

Annabel and Ryan are just two of about ten children who take the news seriously and are reaching out to their peers and beyond through a new season of LittleNewsEars.com, a streaming news for kids platform, to provoke change. Noopur, a middle school student in California, is soon launching a show about politics and the arts that she calls 'Numtium.' Each episode will feature an original song that teaches kids about current events; her first episode will put a spotlight onto The Taliban. Addelyn, a middle school student in Australia who describes herself as 'passionate about politics and hopes to make a difference,' has just launched a show that teaches kids what LGBTQ stands for and why it is wrong to discriminate against this community. Taylor, based in the UK, warns about the effects of climate change and will teach kids in October about the situation in Afghanistan. She writes, "I believe that Taylor's News, Facts, and Fun can help young learners because it teaches them real world things that are important to learn about. Taking young learners and creating them into young leaders!"

The vision of these children to change the world matches that of Dan Buck, curator of the news for kids on this website and assistant principal by day in Houston. Buck wants to bring what he calls 'kid journalism' back into schools. "In the 1970s and 1980s schools used to actively teach current events--I remember vividly learning about the Challenger disaster as it happened as a ten year-old. I've been in education as a teacher and school leader for almost twenty years and almost nobody--Robert Pondiscio is the only one I know of--cares about teaching kids about current events in a real way. The Newseum in DC is dead. Elizabeth Holmes is on trial for lying and five year-olds aren't learning about it in schools. What's more important than teaching kids the value of telling the truth?"

Not all the kids (or adult newscasters on the site) have political or paradigm-shifting topics. Jordyn, a 9 year-old in Chicago, has just launched a show for kids about fashion news. She hopes to teach kids the wonders of chokers in her first episode. Zoe, a young teen in Australia, teaches kids about 'what is hot and what is not' (Squishmallows: hot, unicorn onesies: not). Addie, a 6 year-old in Florida, gushes about sea turtles while emphasizing how important it is for kids to stay happy and feel good about themselves.

All of these children, of course, couldn't do what they do without the help of a trusted adult. But the whole group is united in the belief that you can never be too young to make a difference. Ryan says, 'My aim is to engage a young audience in topics that are going to affect their futures: the economy, the government, the environment, [and] human rights. We need a large and diverse group of powerful young voices to get involved so that we can create change in the future."

It might be working. A reporter from The Daily Beast has just reached out to LittleNewsEars.com to mentor one of the young journalists.

About LittleNewsEars.com
LittleNewsEars.com is a division of Zoocenia, LLC. Little News Ears has been publishing news for kids via cartoon and live action video and podcasts since April 2020. It's a subscription-based streaming news for kids website, a member of the Kids Listen podcasting network, and currently operating from Houston, Texas.

Mold Testing for Homeowners

Boca Raton, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/15/2021 -- There are several different compounds, components and environmental factors involved with mold testing in Florida. As a homeowner, Aeris will provide you with the experience, skills and professionalism necessary to do the job right. A mold inspection in homes include:

- Cost calculations
- Risks
- Potential health concerns
- Liabilities
- Safety issues
- Importance of a home air quality inspection before purchasing a home
- Why Aeris professional services are preferable to a home testing kit

Working with Remediators

Hiring Aeris enables you to receive an unbiased scope of their work. This ensures a fair bid by the mold remediation company you select. The company will thoroughly check all work performed by the mold remediation contractor to eliminate any potential conflict of interest. You then have someone working on your behalf as opposed to a contractor doing the work.

Turnaround Times

The turnaround time to arrive on-site is usually one to two days. Two to four days are required to receive a report. The specific time frame is dependent on the project, sample quantity and type of analysis. No two properties are the same and all assessments are unique.

Mold Inspection Before Buying a Home

Residential indoor air quality testing should be performed before investing in a home. If the moisture levels in the home have been elevated, mold may be present. If the mold spores in the air are significant, building materials and furniture can be affected.

Mold spores are the result of a combination of cellulose-based materials and moisture. Aeris provides mold testing for homeowners to ensure your family remains safe. A home air quality inspection identifies the origin, type and cause of the mold.

Mold Testing Procedures

As professionals, Aeris takes specific steps to ensure you receive the best possible outcome. The company first determines if mold is present in the home. Residential indoor air quality testing provides accurate results. Aeris identifies all mold growth even when more than one source is present.

Mold flourishes under numerous circumstances including a pipe leak, permeable foundation and incorrectly installed air conditioners. To make certain the repairs are effective, Aeris locates every cause of mold. Moisture mapping allows every area potentially affected by mold to be checked including plumbing, cabinetry and windows.

Another serious concern is water taking the form of vapor. The team also locates areas with condensation or substantial differences in temperature to ensure even hidden mold is discovered. All clients are provided with a detailed report including test results, observations and recommendations.

The root cause of the mold can then be repaired and remain fixed. Aeris will not offer you a report and then disappear. The inspector remains available for questions regarding the mold assessment and remediation process.

Health Issues

If you have been exposed to mold, you can suffer from numerous health issues or nothing at all. Certain individuals are more sensitive to mold than others with symptoms including wheezing, stuffy nose and itchy red skin or eyes. Your reaction can be more severe if you have asthma or are allergic to mold.

Exposure to large amounts of mold often includes shortness of breath and fever. A mold inspection in homes can prevent health issues before they have a chance to begin or become even worse. Calling Aeris for professional mold testing whether you own a home or are about to purchase one is an investment in your health.

Customer Satisfaction with 5 Star Review on Google:

"The team from Aeris was attentive to my needs and professional. The results were thoroughly explained. The testing and reports were provided ahead of schedule. The company went above and beyond its word.

I found the reports helpful and clear to proceed with the necessary corrections to ensure the environment in my home was clean and safe. I was impressed with the company's integrity and found it rare. I recommend Aeris highly." ~ Elizabeth C.

Aeris Indoor Environmental Services offers environmental assessments and testing performed by seasoned professionals through South, Central and North Florida. For information about Aeris and their indoor air quality services, reach out by email at info@aerisiaq.com or call 844-692-3747.

ANIL UZUN calls for action to develop ecosystems to end the climate crisis and create a sustainable future.

Manchester, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/04/2021 -- ANIL UZUN says "The world is dying and we need to develop natural ecosystems that produce food. We need to help nature to sustain itself. Humanity has been using the natural resources carelessly and the world has been giving out signals that it will not be able to feed humanity in the near future." And he asks "But what shall we do?"

ANIL UZUN continues to tell what he does. "I try to reduce my carbon footprint. I do consume sustainable food, I try to be waste free. I try to eat better, consume less meat and dairy. I do buy local, seasonal and environmentally friendly food, I prefer the products that have Fairtrade-certificate. I only buy fish only from sustainable sources. And I have the chance to grow my own in bits."

He tells: "Humanity has been using natural resources like there is no tomorrow and there is already a food crisis in many parts of the world. The way we eat, the way we consume is going to put an end in this world."

ANIL UZUN continues: "Today a high percentage of the agricultural fields are growing crops for the factory farming and dairy industry. If the mass production stops the world can feed the population with nourishing food. Sustainable farming is the answer to keep the world habitable. In the sustainable farming activities both the consumer and the producer will provide a living for themselves."

"There are a lot of people doing permaculture and natural farming but that is not enough. Big companies should adopt sustainable farming practices. Right now the world population is mostly feeding on fast food that is both killing themselves and the world. Sustainable farming will save the world with the people living in it." ANIL UZUN adds.

"If we create natural ecosystems we could put an end to hunger. Today, more than 820 million people are hungry globally. While the food waste is at its best."

ANIL UZUN adds "But I would like to add that not all of the industrial food is bad for the world or for humanity. Today, many countries can feed their population with mass production but it has to be regulated and more transparent. You can sustainably mass-product. You can produce clean food without any hormones or the cruelty against animals."

"Clean Food shall come from acleans soil, without any hormones, it shall be minimally processed. It is healtier if you eat the food closest to the point of harvest. Clean food is the answer for environmental, social, and economic sustainability and for human health." he continues.

"We owe the world a sustainable future. If we're serious about saving the world, we need morality. We have to keep our promise to mother nature. We need to preserve it with more clean and sustainable food production means. We need to grow good food." ANIL UZUN adds.

"Buy less, eat less meat and dairy. Respect nature, respect the animals and then the world will find a way to keep going." he finishes.

Environmental Air Quality Testing

Boca Raton, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/27/2021 -- Asbestos air testing should be prioritized for the safety and health of businesses and homeowners. Aeris offers asbestos analysis and testing for South and Central Florida in addition to the recent expansion to North Florida. An asbestos inspection is critical due to the prevalence of air quality hazards.

Poor or dangerous air quality can result from chemicals, asbestos and mold. Proper remediation is dependent on experienced and well-trained professionals with high-quality equipment. Aeris provides accurate and reliable results. Asbestos can negatively impact any home or business in Florida.

The Environment
Professionals are trained for environment inspections. The entire environment is thoroughly inspected to detect any potential sources. During a mold inspection, professionals look for any issues with the indoor air, hidden contamination sources, identify contaminants and analyze both air and surface samples. The cause of water damage and moisture problems must be located.

Indoor air quality may include measuring the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and humidity levels in the air to determine air quality and examining all equipment such as air ducts for signs of contamination or malfunctions. Aeris environmental air quality testing includes a written report for all hazards. Recommendations are provided for improving the quality of air in the business or home including:

- Formaldehyde
- Allergens
- Mildew and mold
- Bacteria
- Pollen and dust
- Airborne asbestos
- Office machine off-gassing
- Cleaning products
- Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
- Resins, chemicals and solvents
- Combustion gases
- VOCs or volatile organic compounds
- Insulation fibers

Asbestos Exposure Health Risks

If microscopic asbestos fibers are swallowed or inhaled, they can become lodged in the digestive or respiratory tract. The body can eliminate some of these fibers, but others can become permanently trapped. Asbestos at any level is not safe. Exposure to asbestos can result in serious complications. In most instances, an individual exposed to asbestos for the long-term is the most affected.

The problem is if no air quality testing is performed, the individual may not know how long they have been exposed. An asbestos analysis is critical for the safety of the occupants. As the fibers start accumulating within human tissue, the result is often internal damage and inflammation. As time passes, cellular changes can result in several diseases including cancer. Asbestos can cause the following cancers.

- Lung Cancer:

Approximately four percent of all lung cancer cases have been linked to asbestos.

- Laryngeal Cancer:

Confirmation was received by the National Institute of Health in 2006 that laryngeal cancer can be caused by asbestos.

- Mesothelioma:

This incurable rare cancer develops in the abdomen or lung lining.

- Ovarian Cancer:

Confirmation was received from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2012 that ovarian cancer can be caused by asbestos.

Asbestos can also cause numerous noncancerous conditions including:

- Pleural Plaques:

The most frequently seen symptom of asbestos exposure is a fibrous thickening of the lung lining.

- Asbestosis:

Asbestosis is scarring and inflammation of the lung tissue preventing normal expansion and relaxation of the lungs.

- Pleurisy:

This condition is also referred to as pleuritic pain and occurs when the pleural lining is severely inflamed.

- Diffuse Pleural Thickening:

When the pleural lining thickens due to excessive scarring, the result is breathing issues and chest pain.

- Pleural Effusion:

This condition allows fluid to build-up around the lungs resulting in difficulty breathing.

Research is still investigating additional diseases potentially resulting from asbestos exposure. A study conducted in 2020 established asbestos as a potential risk factor for bile duct cancer. Once you are exposed to asbestos, 10 to 70 years may be necessary to develop a related disease. Only 10 years are required for the development of asbestos.

The majority of cancers linked to asbestos require between 20 and 50 years for development. Diseases related to asbestos can cause cancer symptoms including chest pain and breathing difficulties. Air quality testing is an effective solution to make certain no asbestos is present.

Aeris is now offering asbestos surveys, sampling and inspections for South, Central and North Florida. The only way to be certain there is no asbestos in your home or office is with asbestos air testing.

Orlando, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/18/2021 -- Aeris Indoor Environmental Services is now offering mold testing, asbestos air testing and air quality testing for virtually all of Central Florida including:

- Clearwater
- Tampa
- Palm Bay
- Lakeland
- Orange County
- St. Petersburg
- Orlando

Air and mold testing is necessary to ensure the health of commercial and residential properties throughout Central Florida. Many Florida residents encounter mold due to the moisture and dampness of the climate. Mold can often be prevented by maintaining ventilation and humidity levels. Inspections are necessary to determine if there is any mold in the building.

The presence of mold frequently results in nose, throat and eye irritations, asthma attacks and respiratory problems. Experienced and skilled experts are necessary for proper air and mold testing. Florida businesses and homeowners can make certain they remain in compliance with important environmental regulations with environmental consulting services.

Mold damage is common when the levels of moisture are elevated. There are numerous potential sources for this issue including leaks in the roof and water lines, condensation and sewer backups. Testing is performed to identify signs of water damage such as discoloration and water stains on the walls and flooring. Indoor air quality is compromised when the humidity level is above 60 percent.

Favorable conditions frequently result in microbial growth. Once there has been a flood, leak or an issue with burst pipes, only 24 to 48 hours are necessary for the growth of mold since many materials already have embedded mold spores from the start such as paper on drywall. Keep in mind the water loss will likely require the removal of affected materials. Properties constructed prior to 1978 are at risk for lead-based paint. Asbestos is still regularly found in materials to this day. Renovations can result in asbestos and lead-based paint exposure due to damaged materials. An asbestos and lead analysis is the best recourse to determine if the substance is present.

The presence of asbestos is a significant health risk. When the fibrous material is breathed into the lungs, serious illnesses can occur including pleural disease, lung cancer and mesothelioma. When the symptoms are not recognized quickly, it can take years for the disease to manifest. An asbestos consultant conducts the asbestos survey in numerous areas of the building including:

- Roofing
- Textured paints
- Tile flooring
- Siding
- Sprayed acoustic ceilings
- Wallboards
- Fire doors

Asbestos bulk sampling should be performed to ensure compliance with state and federal restrictions. No renovations should take place prior to an asbestos survey. Numerous factors are taken into consideration during the asbestos survey and testing including the type of building materials, the location and the history of the building. A walk-through is performed for all access points.

Mold and asbestos are especially dangerous for anyone suffering from a respiratory disease, chronic sinus infections or asthma and infants. Indoor air pollution is responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans. Illnesses resulting from mold can be missed by physicians without the correct training. When mold spreads throughout the building the result can include damage to the immune system triggering:

- Asthma
- Allergies
- Depression
- Coughing
- Memory loss
- Wheezing
- Anxiety
- Hypersensitivity

All of the above conditions can be prevented with high-quality testing. Both mold and asbestos can be eliminated once detected. Aeris Indoor Environmental Services are now available through the Central Florida location. The company is an expert for both residential and commercial inspections. Air quality testing is critical for the health of private households and commercial employees.

Residents and business owners in Central Florida can now take advantage of a wide variety of options available through Aeris Indoor Environmental Services including:

- Mold testing
- Indoor air quality testing
- Environmental consulting
- Asbestos testing
- Post-remediation verification

Asbestos Air Testing

Coral Spring, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/08/2020 -- An asbestos analysis is now available for homes and businesses in South, Central and North Florida due to the expansion of Aeris. Surveys are performed by a certified asbestos inspector trained in accordance with the standards of the industry. Asbestos testing is conducted by a thorough and safe team to ensure the risk associated with hazardous materials is managed effectively.

Asbestos Health Issues

The assumption is asbestos is present in a wide range of building materials including drywall, insulation, caulking and linoleum flooring. These materials become hazardous if they are classified as friable. This means the material will crumble easily. The danger is asbestos fibers can be released directly into the air. Scientific studies show breathing asbestos can lead to specific diseases including:

Scarring of the Lungs:

Breathing asbestos fibers can scar the lungs. Once this occurs, carbon dioxide and oxygen are unable to pass through the lungs easily. The result is difficulty breathing. Scarring is generally an issue due to high asbestos exposure for lengthy periods of time. Residential air quality testing is necessary for the detection of asbestos before any damage is done.

Pleural Disease:

This lung condition is non-cancerous but results in changes in the membrane around the chest cavity and lungs. The membrane can become thicker or fluids can build around the lungs. Although pleural changes do not always result in difficulty breathing, lung function often becomes less efficient. An asbestos analysis is critical for the prevention of pleural disease.

Increased Risk of Developing Specific Cancers:

Asbestos exposure increases the risk of lung cancer. This is a malignant tumor blocking air passages to the lungs. The risk of mesothelioma also increases. This rare cancer covers the chest cavity and lungs. Symptoms might not appear for 30 to 40 years after asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure can also lead to cancer of the colorectum, stomach and pharynx.

Aeris Asbestos Services

Aeris provides Florida homes and businesses with air quality testing including:

- Help managing materials containing asbestos.

- Identification and monitoring of asbestos materials before demolition or refurbishment.

- Providing accurate information and data regarding the location, condition and amount of asbestos materials.

- Excellent reporting to satisfy regional and local standards and regulations.

- Managing repairs and renovations with appropriate surveys and testing for disturbances and materials.

Professional Asbestos Air Testing vs Home Testing Kits

Residential air quality testing is routine before renovations or electrical and plumbing work. The two options are hiring a professional and using a home testing kit . There are several reasons why professional testing is preferable.

Mitigating Asbestos Dangers

Yes, the initial cost of a home kit is cheaper. The problem is home kits may not accurate as professional tests and can expose the user to harmful particles of asbestos. Professionals are equipped and trained to mitigate the dangers of asbestos.

Professional Testing as a Requirement

Certain townships and cities require professional asbestos testing by a licensed asbestos consultant business. This is to protect employees such as ones who are demolition materials, installing plumbing, flooring, and electrical wiring. Many companies require professional asbestos testing before beginning work. Using an at-home kit can delay home projects and renovations.

Accurate Results

A certified asbestos inspector is licensed and provides accurate results. Numerous local and state authorities hold the licensed asbestos consultant responsible for test results. Aeris provides a final report including all findings. If there is an issue, Aeris is held responsible.

The Trusted Air Quality Testing Professionals

Home repairs and renovations can be dangerous if asbestos is present. Aeris offers asbestos testing and sampling to Miami, Orlando, Broward Country and Palm Beach County. This helps eliminate risks related to disturbances from asbestos and mitigates the costs of potential asbestos removal. Not only is asbestos common in older buildings, but it is also present in modern materials.

Contrary to popular belief, asbestos is not only found in buildings constructed before 1980. The only way to be certain there is no hazardous level of asbestos in cement, roof shingles, siding and ceiling, floor tiles, and many other materials is with a professional inspection.

Aeris Air Quality Testing for Mold and Asbestos Now Available in North Florida

Jacksonville, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/18/2020 -- Environmental air quality testing is necessary for the health of both residential and commercial properties in Florida. Aeris has now expanded service to North Florida, including St. Johns County, Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Duval County, Deerwood and Palm Coast.

Mold growth is often an issue in Florida due to damp air and moisture intrusion. Humidity levels must be maintained and proper ventilation ensured to help prevent mold. A mold inspection is necessary to determine if mold is present in the air. This can cause respiratory issues, asthma attacks and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. To be completed successfully, mold testing requires experienced and qualified experts.

Environmental Consulting ensures Florida homeowners and businesses are in compliance with current environmental regulations. When the moisture level is elevated the result is often mold damage. The potential sources include sewer backups, high levels of relative humidity, water line leaks, roof leaks and issues with water build-up and condensation.

A mold inspection detects common signs of damage including water stains, loose wall or floor tiles, particle board damage and discoloration. Relative humidity above 60 percent is considered a potential issue for indoor air quality. When conditions are favorable the result can be microbial growth. Mold growth can begin in 24 to 48 hours after water damage including leaks, floods and burst pipes.

If the residential or commercial property was built before 1978, lead based paint and indoor air quality testing are necessary. Lead exposure has numerous potentially negative implications for both children and adults. When lead-based paints in a building are stripped or damaged, the occupants will be exposed. This can be prevented by knowing if lead-based paints are present. Investors can make an informed decision regarding purchasing specific properties.

Asbestos is a natural fibrous material that can result in serious health risks including lung cancer, pleural disease and mesothelioma just by breathing the mineral fibers into your lungs. If you do not recognize the symptoms quickly, the disease may not manifest for years. Asbestos testing by a certified asbestos inspector is important because this material can be in your:

- Flooring
- Roofing
- HVAC duct insulation
- Siding
- Wallboards
- Textured paints
- Fire doors
- Drywall compound
- Sprayed acoustic ceilings
- Elevator equipment panels

To protect your health and comply with both federal and state restrictions, an asbestos survey is mandatory before you have any work performed such as renovations. Your asbestos sampling includes:

- Sampling of building material containing asbestos
- History of your structure
- Reporting of the locations, area, material conditions and lab results
- Walk-thru including the access points of your building

Millions of deaths in the United States are connected to outdoor and indoor air pollution. People suffering from asthma are easily negatively impacted by mold exposure and dampness in the home. Additionally, mold is a major cause for individuals suffering from chronic sinus infections. The risk of asthma and respiratory diseases increase when an infant is exposed to unusual harmful mold for a prolonged length of time. Unfortunately, many physicians do not have sufficient training for the identification of illnesses due to mold.

The spread of mycotoxins significantly affects the immune system resulting in allergies, wheezing, asthma, coughing, hypersensitivity, memory loss, anxiety and depression. All of this can be prevented with environmental air quality testing. Air quality testing is critical for the detection and proper removal of mold and asbestos.

Aeris Indoor Environmental Services offer a variety of services to Florida residents and business owners including indoor air quality testing, mold inspections, environmental consulting, asbestos testing, lead inspections and testing, water quality testing, disaster response, emergency moisture monitoring and post-remediation verification. Customers have stated the company provides outstanding and on-time services while taking the needs of the customer into consideration.

New customers have said, "The expanded service areas make it easier to access necessary services."

Yesterday, a coalition of environmental organizations appeared as amicus curiae before the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, the highest court in Ecuador, calling for a robust application of the Rights of Nature in order to save the Los Cedros Protected Forest.

Quito, Ecuador -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/21/2020 -- Yesterday, a coalition of environmental organizations appeared as amicus curiae before Ecuador's Constitutional Court to seek a robust application of the "Rights of Nature" in order to save the Los Cedros Protected Forest. Los Cedros is an immensely biodiverse Andean cloud forest that is under threat from recent mining concessions to state mining company ENAMI and its Canadian partners, Cornerstone Capital Group and BHP. These mining concessions now cover two-thirds of the reserve, threatening several imperiled species with extinction.

In 2008, Ecuador became the first country in the world to constitutionally recognize the Rights of Nature, thereby establishing that Nature possesses certain basic rights, just as humans do. The Los Cedros case is the first time the Constitutional Court will address the Rights of Nature head on, making it a possible landmark ruling.

"Ecuador has inspired a global movement to recognize Nature's rights, but now it must become effective in practice to protect and restore ecosystems," said Carla Cardenas, an Ecuadorian lawyer and Law and Policy Associate at Earth Law Center. "Our coalition has presented a blueprint for Ecuador to enforce the Rights of Nature in a strong and practical manner."

"The Constitutional Court has a responsibility to represent the voice of Nature in the Los Cedros case," said Natalia Green, co-founder and Executive Committee member of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature. "As it has been scientifically described by the various amici curiae during the hearing, permitting mining in this Protected Forest constitutes ecocide and a direct violation of the Rights of Nature within Ecuador's Constitution."

The hearing builds from an amicus brief submitted to Ecuador's Constitutional Court last month by Earth Law Center, the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature, the Center for Biological Diversity, International Rivers, and the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center. A network of law school professors sign the amicus brief in support, as well.

The amicus makes several requests. First, it calls for fully upholding the rights of Los Cedros with an emphasis on its right to restoration to repair the damages already caused by ENAMI. Second, it calls for the application of rights specific to certain ecosystems—e.g., rivers flowing within Los Cedros have river rights, forests have forest rights, and so forth, each with their own standards. Third, it calls for the appointment of independent legal guardians for Nature. Finally, it calls for upholding human environmental rights and rights of future generations.

Globally, the Rights of Nature are now recognized to some extent in over a dozen countries. This includes the United States, where a handful of Native American tribes and many local communities have passed Rights of Nature laws, declarations, and resolutions. The Convention on Biological Diversity's post-2020 global biodiversity framework also recently promoted the Rights of Nature in its updated zero draft, which is up for adoption in 2021.

Mold and Air Quality Testing Now Available

Coral Spring, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/06/2020 -- Mold grows fast and can adversely impact commercial or residential property. Air and mold testing are necessary to protect indoor air quality and identify potential health issues.

Mold growth can happen almost anywhere if the conditions are right. Moisture and damp air will increase the rate of growth. Mold can grow whether the temperature is high or low. To control growth, you must ensure proper ventilation and control your humidity levels. If mold is suspected, contact a mold testing company immediately.

High levels of mold circulating through the air have been linked to asthma attacks, nose throat and eye irritation, sinus congestion, aggravated allergies and respiratory issues. The air is contaminated by the settling of mold spores into organic and porous objects. Scheduling a regular mold inspection can protect property and the occupants from exposure by identifying the hidden issues.

Before mold can be removed, several processes are required including testing and inspecting for mold. Specific issue can only be determined by inspecting the residential or commercial property for the presence of mold. This is the best method for determining which type of mold is present and how many mold spores are circulating in the air.

Air and mold testing are not a process easily completed. Qualified and experienced experts are necessary to assess and treat the situation. Proper testing can be conducted by mold testing company. The experts are trained for different results identified by each test despite the remediation efforts. Experts are required to ensure all areas prone to the growth of mold are tested including:

- Wallpaper and drywall
- Basements and attics
- Drapes, furniture, and carpeting
- Components of wet air conditioners and ceiling tiles

A thorough inspection is important due to the lack of rigid guidelines regarding the amount of mold acceptable in a home. The most important component of an inspection will include a visual inspection of a business or home. This requires the use of state of the art equipment during inspection including:

- Particle counters
- Flashlights
- Multiple moisture meters
- Thermal imagery cameras
- Ladders
- Hygrometers

This equipment is necessary for the inspection of any areas potentially containing moisture, stagnant water or hidden issues in place for a long time. Mold and air quality testing services include:

Disposable protective coveralls and isolation gowns provide comfort and safety for medical workers.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/18/2020 -- DONY, a leading garment manufacturer in Vietnam, announced today that it is adding new medical protective clothing to its respected line of personal protective equipment (PPE). The company's COVID protective clothing portfolio now includes disposable protective coveralls and isolation gowns that provide comfort and safety for medical workers. DONY also makes and exports high-quality non-surgical cloth face masks worldwide.

"Our experience in the fashion industry has given us insights into what makes a PPE garment comfortable and economical to produce," said a spokesperson for the company. "Our goal with the new coveralls and gowns is to provide clothing that is effective in the extreme, but also lightweight enough to enable productive healthcare work."

The DONY Protective Coverall is designed to provide all-round protection to healthcare workers. The garments offer head-to-toe protection with ease and comfort. Their waterproof fabric shields the wearer with 100% safety from blood, blood fluids, secretions, infectious pathogens, and other agents. A "Siamese Hooded" design features an elastic opening that fits tightly to the wearer's face, thereby giving them protection from the intrusion of harmful substances. An elastic waist, elastic cuffs, zipper, and door further block the transmission of harmful materials.

The Coverall and Gowns are made from breathable material. This allows for the passage of air around the wearer's body. The result is a garment that protects the wearer against pathogens and harmful fluids but reduces sweating and discomfort. Lightweight, they are suitable for long shifts in difficult work conditions. A shoe cover completes the head-to-toe protection scheme. Shoes are a frequent vector for transmission of disease, as fluids and pathogens often gather on the floor.

The DONY Premium Antibacterial Cloth Mask is washable and reusable. It has certification from CE, FDA, and TUV Reach. It is made from a three-ply, water-resistant, and 99.9% antibacterial cloth, passing some of the most stringent standards in the world. The mask's outer layer features strong water resistance, which prevents droplets from clinging to the mask and limits the potential for viral infection. The middle layer functions as a filter. The inner layer has the most anti-bacterial effects. It's a breathable design.

Finished units are shipped in medical packaging. They can be sterilized with EO gas technology that is commonly used for medical supplies. An indicator strip shows the wearer if the mask has been sterilized. This commitment to quality enables DONY to export the masks to demanding countries like the USA and destinations in Europe.

DONY specializes in producing clothing and uniforms for both domestic and international clients. It is one of the biggest companies of its kind in Vietnam.

South Haven, MI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/28/2020 -- Riveer, world leader in wash racks and wash systems technology, today announced that it is making its military-grade decontamination (decon) LADS available for use by school districts, municipalities, public transportation and private industry in the fight against virus threats, such as COVID-19. The company's LADS, Large Area Decontamination System, is widely deployed by US military HAZMAT in quick response against the spread of pathogens.

"The decontamination challenges in a playground or bus stop shelter are not all that different from those associated with Army facilities or Navy ships," said a spokesperson for Riveer. "You need to get rid of pathogens quickly and safely. That's the problem we solve with our decon systems." Cities, schools, arenas and other public spaces can unknowingly aid in the spread of viruses remain on surfaces like seats or stair railings.

Carrying 500 gallons of water and 50 gallons auto dosing disinfecting concentrate, LADS gets the job done quickly and thoroughly. LADS supports 2 operators at 21 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) for fast, site decontamination. LADS is designed specifically for delivering decontamination solution: 5x the flow and 1/10 the pressure of traditional power washers. High pressure might be great for removing graffiti, not for spreading hypochlorite solution over a large area quickly. By keeping pressure low, the LADS does not uselessly atomize chemistry. Instead this machine spreads a penetrating flow of decontamination solution on the surfaces where needed. What's more, LADS offers the most expedient and cost-effective approach to decontamination because it uses Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) solutions and wear parts.

Lastly, LADS is easy to operate without special training and can be easily trailered by passenger or utility trucks.

About Riveer
Riveer is a global leader in Engineered Wash Water Recovery Systems for commercial, industrial, municipal and military applications. Riveer technology addresses the unique challenges of pressure washing hardware, vehicles and aircraft, followed by the recovery and filtration of wash water. Having developed the first environmentally-compliant wash rack, Riveer's product line today includes well known MudMaster™, BirdBath, TAWS®, ACDS, LADS, and TRS systems, as well as turnkey design/build systems installations.

Coral Spring, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/28/2020 -- Air quality is a common consideration for property owners. Unfortunately, even a bright and sunny environment like Florida is at risk for pollutants and indoor contaminants. This occurrence can happen regardless of how sanitary you keep the property or how frequently you clean. Sometimes indoor pollutants are even a result of cleaning products within the property.

Indoor air quality refers to characteristics of the interior environment. Indoor air can naturally build up pollutants because, in general, the same air is recycled and used continuously. It is important to monitor the air inside a property as it pertains to different chemical compounds, molds, and other indoor potential irritants. Clean air may help with keeping good health.

Of the many threats to the indoor environment, mold is the most common indoor contaminant. Mold grows on cellulose based surfaces and needs moisture to begin the growth process. Mold can be found in hidden areas such as walls cavities, but are commonly found in areas of high moisture content or exposure, such as in kitchens, bathrooms, air handler closets, windows, and doors.

Extreme levels of mold in the air have been associated with aggravated allergies, asthma attacks, eye, throat and nose irritation, respiratory issues, and sinus congestion. Mold spores settle into porous and fibrous objects. This contaminates the air which in turn enhances the threat. With regular mold testing, you protect damage to the property and your occupants.

To be sure, regular indoor environmental assessments can be instrumental in minimizing unusual levels of air pollutants and their negative effects. Science has attributed the inhaling of unhealthy air to eye, throat, and nose irritation as well as asthma attacks. Other medical issues with linkage to poor air quality are cardiovascular and respiratory problems, heart attacks, and even cancer.

While anyone can fall prey to these airborne threats, particularly sensitive, vulnerable groups include infants and children, the elderly, and individuals with chronic diseases or immunocompromised are most susceptible.

What truly makes this matter worse is poor air quality is an invisible threat. Unless there are distinct visual cues or unusual odors present, pollutants can go undetected within an indoor environment. This is why Florida residents must never underestimate the importance of indoor environmental testing.

Indoor environmental assessments and sampling for mold should be a priority for all property owners. Poorly managed indoor air affects not only pose health risks to occupants but can also compromise the home's integrity and structure. Approximately 90% of the average person's time is spent indoors. This means that if the interior environment is compromised, then the potential for negative health effects on your eyes, lungs, throat, heart, and more may exist.

Qualified licensed mold assessors and industrial hygienists know what contribute to indoor pollutants and contaminants. These licensed individuals have a greater understanding of building science, furniture, carpeting, tobacco smoke, solvents, relative humidity and temperature, cleaning supplies, poor ventilation, and so much more. Each of these components can be a minute portion of contamination, but combined and sustained, pose a great threat to susceptible individuals.

Indoor environmental assessments have specific processes and different assessment requirements. Indoor environmental investigations entail a multitude of sampling and measurements and are dependent on what specific concerns are being proposed. For example, in an environmental assessments that relates to concerns with mold, an assessor will measure moisture content in the present building materials, monitor temperature and humidity parameters within the ambient areas, procure samples of the air or surfaces, and perform a thorough visual assessment of the accessible areas of the property. These assessments should be left in the hands of qualified, certified consultants or assessors that have the appropriate credentials and licensing.

A proactive property owner will not wait until they smell something strange or someone begins experiencing symptoms before having a qualified professional assess their property. Annual assessments can help identify, and in some cases, prevent unnecessary issues from occurring or escalating. The proactive property owner has testing done annually by a qualified licensed assessor, as recommended by health associations, including The World Health Organization (WHO).

Air quality testing is important in Miami, West Palm Beach, Hollywood, Coral Springs, and Broward County, as well as their surrounding neighborhoods. Aeris Indoor Environmental Services offers environmental assessments and testing performed by seasoned pros through South and Central Florida.

Federal Prison Camp's Refusal to Release Inmates Under First Step Act Increased Coronavirus Threat

Denver, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/08/2020 -- The methods being used by the BOP to isolate inmates in cells is sufficient for medium and high institutions but wholly insufficient for the overcrowded Florence Federal Prison Camp (FPC) which only houses non-violent inmates. Social distancing is impossible at FPC Florence. Non-violent CAMPERS(not really inmates) at Florence FPC (which has no bars, cells, walls or fences) have been put at greater risk to contract COVID-19 because its officials have instituted a lockdown of the camp and thereby created a "social crowding" environment, not a social distancing one. Florence officials are not totally at fault because the original design of FPC Florence housing units has created an intractable problem for BOP officials to effectively implement social distancing. The fact that FPC Florence is overcrowded exponentially complicates social distancing solutions which is why home confinement of a reasonable number of campers is critical to successfully implement social distancing. "Since the BOP classifies prison camps as out-custody facilities and permits these non-violent, non-threatening campers to work in the local community and attend job fairs without BOP staff supervision, it should be a no-brainer for the BOP Director to release many of them to home-confinement to effectively implement social distancing," says Lamont Banks, Executive Director of A Just Cause. "Furthermore, Florence, Colorado's high altitude of over 5000 feet means there is less oxygen in the air which puts campers and correctional officers are at greater risk of not be able to breath without a ventilator due to COVID-19's crippling effect on the lungs' ability to oxygenate," adds Banks. "There is absolutely no reason to continue threatening the lives of numerous campers with COVID-19 when they have a home to be released to and are not a danger to the community," exclaims Banks

FPC Florence was originally designed to house 250 campers but currently houses over 400. First, the 400+ inmates at FPC Florence are in housing units with open bay-style ranges comprised of 7ft by 11 ft cubicles with 5ft 8in walls. Each of these small, crowded cubicles houses 2 inmates and is furnished with 2 twin size bunks, 2 lockers (2ft x 18ft x 3ft) and a desk (15in x 2ft 5in x 2ft 5in). Some cubicles actually house three inmates due to overcrowding. FPC Florence inmates share the same restrooms, showers, phones and email computers. FPC Florence is an anathema to social distancing and can easily serve as a fertile breeding and spreading ground for COVID-19. Instead of allowing the inmates time outside to walk the track or exercise, BOP officials lock them inside the crowded housing unit with staff from the outside world and increasing the likelihood of transferring or collecting germs from doorknobs and other hard items being continually touched by staff and others. By being locked 24 hours per day in the housing units, camp inmates are being denied fresh air and forced to continuously inhale germs and cigarette smoke that flows through a recycled air ventilation system. Florence FPC houses inmates with severe lung diseases and partial lungs, some of whom use nebulizers daily to help them breath.

FPC Florence would not be nearly as crowded if the Florence officials had fully complied with the First Step Act (FSA) instead of being apathetic. Numerous Florence FPC inmates have been assessed under the FSA and were found to be a minimum risk of recidivism, entitling them to 10 days per month/two-thirds off their sentence. "Florence officials and other BOP staff around the country chose to be deliberately insubordinate to President Trump, Jared Kushner and members of Congress who worked hard to pass the First Step Act," asserts Banks. "Now, amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, both BOP correctional officers and the inmate population are at a greater risk of sickness and death because officials refused to follow the law," adds Banks. "There are actually inmates with lung diseases and partial lungs at Florence FPC, some of whom use nebulizers daily to help them breath," exclaims Banks.

According to sources at the Florence FPC, case managers have informed numerous inmates that they qualify to be released under the First Step Act but have not been given the go-ahead by the BOP Director to release them. "If there is ever a time for President Trump to issue an executive order for the release of inmates who the BOP is unlawfully detaining in violation of the First Step Act, the time is now," says Banks. "Especially starting with the lawful release of those inmates entitled to relief under the act that have homes in the state where they are incarcerated and can be easily transported by their family to the safety of that home," adds Banks.

Prior to the Coronavirus spread into the U.S., A Just Cause and New York attorney Bernard Kleinman have demanded in both verbal and written communications to the BOP that they abide by the First Step Act and release Florence FPC inmates Demetrius Harper, David Banks and David Zirpolo who are three of five men known as the IRP5 (formerly "IRP6") who, according to a former federal appeals judge H. Lee Sarokin are innocent and were wrongly convicted and harshly imprisoned for 7 to 11 years as a result of government misconduct (See judge's comments in Washington Post at www.wapo.st/29jXqSC). Sarokin said the IRP5 wrongful conviction was the worst injustice he's ever seen in the federal justice system.

The deeply troubled Sarokin sent a personal letter to President Obama requesting clemency for the IRP5. Sarokin wrote to Obama that a "grave injustice" had occurred with respect to conviction and imprisonment of the IRP5 and explained the absurdity of the government's charges and the misconduct used to win a conviction. Obama disregarded Judge Sarokin and did nothing about the grave injustice the IRP5 suffered at the hands of his Justice Department. Other prominent advocates close to Trump are now seeking a pardon on behalf the IRP5.

Clinton Stewart (IRP5) is one of the very few inmates to be released by Florence FPC under the FSA's provision to home confine elderly inmates 60 years of age and older who have served two-thirds of their sentence. The video of Stewart's celebratory release with a large crowd went viral with over 4 million views on the Internet, including a retweet by President Trump (Video at http://bit.ly/2FlNYvR).

"Unlike Harper (46 years-old), Banks (52 years-old) and Zirpolo (56 years-old), Clinton Stewart's health and well-being is not being compromised by the BOP's refusal to fully comply with the First Step Act and its inconsiderate COVID-19 response to the Florence federal prison camp," says Banks. "I am hopeful that President Trump will immediately free these innocent men who have spent the past seven and a half years in prison and who now are facing new threats to their health and well-being at the hands of Florence FPC officials mishandling of the Coronavirus threat," concludes Banks.
