Clean Energy, Water, Waste, & Environment
The Issa Family Foundation is here to make change
Clean Energy
There are thousands of resources on the Internet providing plenty of reasons to go solar. Depending on the geographic area you live in, the financial incentives, rebates, and ways that your utility pays you for the power your system generates will vary. We can tell you, however, the top ten reasons Envirosolar Power helps groups of people all over the U.S. make the switch from their electricity providers to their own home power generation.
It all begins with homeowners discovering specifically how much money and energy they are wasting, which is often a shocking realization once they receive their free in-home Envirosolar Power energy assessment.
Clean Water
Water is one of the most basic human needs. According to some estimates over 780 million people across the world do not have access to clean water, while approximately 2.5 billion lack access to proper sanitation; the scarcity of this most fundamental resource results in around seven million deaths annually.
Demand for volunteers is high in all types of water programs, including construction, engineering, administration, marketing, and project coordination and implementation. You can improve lives across the globe by volunteering abroad in clean water projects. Though this type of volunteer work can be incredibly challenging, the benefits you will provide to communities are incalculable.
Clean Community (Waste Reduction)
When we talk about CA neighborhood evokes a great sense of pride for all those who contribute to it. As an individual, you already know you can Create the GOOD in countless ways, but when you work together as a group, there’s no limit to the impact you can make on your community.
The Issa Family Foundation works in a few ways to cultivate and reinforce that great sense of neighborhood pride, while also making your community a better, safer place to live.
Clean Environment
With environmental issues like water contamination, pollution, and climate change, it’s natural to look for ways we can reverse the damage to our planet and keep our environment clean. Many of us think we’re too small to make a difference, but when enough of us take action, we’ve seen the positive results we can create.
Today we’re looking at the steps – big and small – you can take to keep our environment clean and safe. If you want to join the movement by helping to create a better and cleaner environment for our future, get in touch with us!
A Cleaner Planet & Better Lives Are The Goal.
It doesn’t mean you can’t do the things you enjoy, but it’s about recognizing that what we do has an environmental impact. And the biggest impact is from the consumption of non-renewable resources.
Health & Wellness
According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” In other words, your health is about much more than physical ailments — it's about emotional and social fitness, too.
On the other hand, wellness is the “active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. [...] a dynamic process of change and growth.” The two concepts are not opposites, but rather go hand in hand in one’s quest toward complete well-being. Essentially, if health is the goal, wellness is the way we might achieve it. Wellness is the action while (good) health is the desired outcome.
The difference between health & wellness
We can’t always choose the state of our health. High cholesterol and blood pressure are largely genetic. People are born with heart disease and a predisposition toward diabetes. Accidents cause injuries that last a lifetime.
But wellness, on the other hand, is a choice.
We can choose to exercise regularly to manage our health conditions (where possible).
We can choose to quit smoking and to take our medications as prescribed.
We can see a therapist when our mental state needs some assistance.
Wellness is a way for us to actively work toward better health. A way to take some control of our bodies and minds. Even though none of us will ever be in “perfect” health, making a conscious effort to improve our wellness can make us feel better — and ultimately, cost us less money in healthcare costs down the line.
Innovation
Most economists agree that technological innovation is a key driver of economic growth and human well-being. Negative cultural attitudes about technology and its disruptive effects could threaten to reap these benefits. Policy responses that reflect such attitudes (and discourage innovation) risk triggering economic stagnation, decreased economic dynamism, and lower living standards. James Broughel and Adam Thierer make this case in “Technological Innovation and Economic Growth: A Brief Report on the Evidence.”
The Effects of Innovation
Technological innovation brings benefits. It increases productivity and brings citizens new and better goods and services that improve their overall standard of living.
The benefits of innovation are sometimes slow to materialize. They often fall broadly across the entire population. Those who stand to benefit most—the poor and future generations—have little or no political influence.
Innovation causes short-term disruptions. These disruptions may be unsettling, as some old business models fail and some individuals lose their jobs.
Incumbent interests may resist change. Those affected are often well-organized and powerful. They may try to derail opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship that could lead to more growth and prosperity over the long haul.
Policymakers act within notoriously short time horizons. They are also likely to hear disproportionately from constituencies and interests that are harmed by new technologies. This may lead to (1) resistance to change among policymakers and (2) policy interventions that stifle entrepreneurship and protect incumbents from new competitors.
Job creation
The goal of all job creation strategies is to stimulate healthy economic growth. Economists agree that annual growth between 2 and 3 percent is sustainable. It will create the 150,000 jobs per month needed to employ new workers entering the labor force.
In a free-market economy, the government need not do anything when growth is healthy. Capitalism encourages small businesses to compete, thereby creating better ways to meet consumers' needs. Because of this, small businesses account for 65 percent of all new jobs created. The proper role of government is to provide a supportive environment for growth.
Even a healthy economy is subject to the bubbles and busts of the business cycle. When the economy contracts into a recession, the government must create solutions to unemployment. It may use expansive monetary policy, expansive fiscal policy, or both to stimulate job growth.
Technology
Technology has advanced a lot in the last few decades. There have been numerous groundbreaking advancements that have revolutionized the way things are done. The internet is now an important part of any business. No brand can do business without being on the internet.
Computer software, big data analysis, fiber optics, drones, image recognition, artificial intelligence, and others now have a big role to play in different industrial sectors. Modern technology is helping various industrial sectors to advance.
As we go through the 2000s, innovation and agility have become essential competitive ingredients for any organization, regardless of industry. According to Paul Sallomi, global technology, media, and telecommunications industry leader and US and global technology sector leader, companies need to take even greater advantage of cloud platforms that make powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools and services available to broad ranges of users. These tools are helping accelerate experimentation, “democratize” innovation, boost agility, and power organizations’ digital transformation journeys.
Change Starts With You
Join the movement and help us create a better future!
Dedicated to Change.
We consume water, power [mostly through fossil fuels], and forests. As a product of mass consumption. We create millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases and waste to landfill every year.
Not only are we doing very little to mitigate the effects of this, but the poor old planet is also losing its ability to soak up the mess as we continue to pollute waterways and destroy forests – the natural environmental filters that have kept mankind alive so far.
Some simple facts:
For every kWh of energy you use (you can find this on your electricity bill), you produce 1.5 kg of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
If you use natural or bottled gas, you will produce 1.6 kg of carbon dioxide for every liter of gas you burn.
For every liter of Gas you use in your car, you produce 2.4 kg of carbon dioxide – or 2.7 kg/L for diesel and 1.6 kg/L for LPG.
Every kg of garbage you send to landfills will produce 2 kg of methane, another greenhouse gas.
A single tree will only mop up about 1 tonne of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
Our everyday lives have a large environmental footprint. it’s time to look at how we do daily life differently.
