Washington, D.C., Herndon, Va. and Atlanta, Ga. (PRBuzz.com) April 22, 2013 -- Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF), Washington Gas Energy Services (WGES) and Sterling Planet will celebrate and strengthen the organizations' unique partnership today with an annual tree planting, held this year in Union Bridge, Md. A combined contribution of $132,000 will be presented to the CBF-directed Carbon Reduction Fund, with $88,000 donated by WGES and $44,000 by Sterling Planet. Since its launch in 2010, the partnership has provided the Carbon Reduction Fund more than $400,000 in total contributions.

This is the third annual tree planting event, comprising more than 170 volunteers, including staff from CBF, WGES and Sterling Planet. Traditionally held just before Earth Day, the event will benefit the local region in multiple ways. Planting 1,400 native trees and shrubs will restore more than 6,000 feet, or seven acres, of stream bank, preventing pollution and runoff into the Wolf Pit Branch stream, which ultimately flows into the Atlantic Ocean via the Chesapeake Bay. These trees will also improve air quality by reducing carbon emissions in the Chesapeake Bay region.

"WGES is committed to offering market-driven solutions, such as WGES CleanSteps® Carbon Offsets, to area residents and businesses to make it easy for them to reduce their carbon footprints," said Harry Warren, president of Washington Gas Energy Services. "Our innovative natural gas product and our partnership with CBF will help reduce greenhouse gases and improve the air and water quality in our region for years to come."

WGES CleanSteps® Carbon Offsets reduce a customer's carbon footprint by matching local certified carbon offsets with the customer's natural gas use. In return, WGES and Sterling Planet contribute to the Carbon Reduction Fund, which supports CBF involvement in local environmental projects to reduce greenhouse gases and improve water quality. All WGES standard natural gas includes a baseline 5 percent match of carbon offsets to natural gas use for residential customers and a 3.5 percent match for small commercial customers. Both residential and small commercial customers can choose natural gas matched with 100 percent WGES CleanSteps® Carbon Offsets. Large commercial customers have the option to customize the percent of their natural gas that is matched with carbon offsets.

"Events like this tree planting demonstrate how best to save the Bay, through cooperation between government, business and citizens," said Rob Schnabel, restoration scientist, Chesapeake Bay Foundation. "Today's donation of $132,000 to the Carbon Reduction Fund from WGES and Sterling Planet will help us clean the water and air of Carroll County. We owe that to our children and grandchildren. We've made significant progress. Every effort we make helps finish the job."

To date, Carbon Reduction Fund projects have supported the planting of more than 9,000 trees in Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Talbot, Frederick and Carroll counties in Maryland. Over a 50-year lifespan, the environmental benefit of these trees equates to avoiding the use of more than 900,000 gallons of gasoline.

"Reduction of environmental impact is a company-wide commitment for Sterling Planet," said Alden Hathaway, senior vice president of business development at Sterling Planet. "In order to drive a sustainable future, we must continually invest time, effort and money in reducing carbon footprints and promoting energy efficiency."

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (PRBuzz.com) April 22, 2013 -- Experts tell us that sexual health and vigor are important to overall health, a positive outlook on life and a sense of wellbeing.  Yet a large percentage of those living with sexual health issues - both men and women - are confused about where to turn for help.  To offer assistance and free information the Western Institute for Sexual Health (WISH) in Santa Monica is offering free "Lunch & Learn" educational sessions with board certified urologists, psychologists and other experts every Friday from Noon to 1 PM through the month of May, on Fridays May 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.

NEW YORK (PRBuzz.com) April 22, 2013 -- In celebration of Earth Day, NHL Green has teamed up with Sterling Planet, the United States' leading retail provider of environmental assets for corporate, utility and government clients, to attempt to mitigate the environmental impact of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

For the second consecutive year, using environmental assets from Sterling Planet, the NHL will counterbalance the estimated carbon emissions resulting from arena electricity consumption during all 2013 Playoffs games and team air travel throughout the Playoffs, based on conservative projections of the expected carbon footprint associated with the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Accordingly, Sterling Planet will provide the NHL with 12,850 megawatt-hours (MWh) in the form of Green-e® Energy certified renewable energy certificates (RECs) from U.S. wind projects and 1,148 metric tons of verified emission reductions -- also known as carbon offsets -- from projects authenticated by the Verified Carbon Standard or the Climate Action Reserve, independent accounting programs which validate, measure, monitor and ensure the environmental benefit of the carbon offset projects.

"The NHL's commitment to environmental stewardship is extraordinary," said NRDC Senior Scientist Allen Hershkowitz. "The League is financing watershed restoration, recovering food for donations and promoting measurements of energy, water, and waste at all NHL arenas. Through this GHG reduction initiative -- when combined with the impact from last season -- the NHL will avoid more than 38 million pounds of carbon, making it one of the largest global warming pollution offset initiatives by any sports league ever."

The RECs and carbon offsets together will create a benefit of more than 22.5 million pounds (10,214 metric tons) of avoided emissions of carbon dioxide. The environmental benefit compares to taking approximately 2,100 cars off U.S. roads for a year.

"By using certified renewable energy and carbon offsets, the NHL is also supporting clean U.S. energy production and carbon reduction projects, creating additional economic benefits for communities nationwide," said Mel Jones, Sterling Planet President and CEO.

Of the renewable energy provided, 1,700 MWh will be applied towards counterbalancing 100% of the League's estimated 2013 electricity usage at its New York City headquarters.

Through this acquisition of RECs and carbon offsets, the NHL will retain its membership in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Green Power Partnership Leadership Club. Last year, the NHL was the first of any professional sports league to join the voluntary program, which encourages organizations to buy green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with purchased electricity use.

Sterling Planet is the nation's leading retail provider of renewable energy and other environmental assets. Founded in 2000, Sterling Planet has delivered tens of billions of renewable energy kilowatt-hours in both voluntary and mandated markets, working to improve lives today, while sustaining the planet for future generations.

Bristow, VA (PRBuzz.com) April 22, 2013 -- Grassroots outreach is a very important component to raise awareness of important safety messages in local communities. That's why the National Safe Boating Council, a lead partner of the North American Safe Boating Campaign, is proud to award grassroots support to 14 organizations throughout the U.S. to promote the importance of consistent life jacket wear while on the water in their local communities.

"This year's pool of recipients developed creative and fun ways to share the importance boating safety and life jacket wear through community outreach and education," said Rachel Johnson, communications director for the National Safe Boating Council and national campaign coordinator for the campaign.

The North American Safe Boating Campaign - simply known as "Wear It!" - is a yearlong effort in the USA and Canada focused on spreading the message of boating safety and the critical importance of consistent life jacket wear.

The 2013 call for applications resulted in nearly 60 applications being submitted from 22 states. After careful deliberation, a panel of judges chose 14 recipients to receive grassroots resources and support to run localized "Wear It!" campaigns. While many of the recipients have already promoted the campaign in the past, others will begin for the first time this boating season.

"Their hard work throughout the 2013 boating season will help bring the 'Wear It!' message to boaters in their communities, and most importantly, save lives by reminding people to always wear their life jacket while on the water," continued Johnson.

Among this year's list of selected applicants, New Lifeline Church in California will give away free life jackets and safety whistles; the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary 9th Western District in Wisconsin will wrap a vehicle to act as a traveling "Wear It!" billboard; Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will feature navigation rules posters; and the American Canoe Association, out of its Virginia headquarters, will produce standup paddleboard placards with boating safety messages to reach these unique recreational water enthusiasts. In total, the organizations and agencies chosen will receive a total of $35,000 in resources and support.

U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning was the reported cause of death in almost three-fourths of recreational boating fatalities in 2011, and that 84 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets.

The North American Safe Boating Campaign unites the efforts of a wide variety of boating safety advocates, including the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, Canadian Safe Boating Council and many members of the National Safe Boating Council. The campaign is produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Partners hold local events, teach classes, offer on-water training, distribute educational materials and perform free vessel safety checks, among other activities.

Be sure to follow the campaign on Twitter at twitter.com/boatingcampaign and Like Us at facebook.com/SafeBoatCampaign. Share your boating story at SafeBoatingCampaign.com.

(PRBuzz.com) April 24, 2013 -- Kool Foam LLC introduces a cost effective and energy efficient solution for houses and commercial buildings--the solution is spray foam insulation. Traditional insulation just doesn't get the job done anymore and Kool Foam is introducing a solution that is being used in the remodel and construction of new real estate. The solution harnesses the power of revolutionized technology--spray foam--to create an improved barrier that keeps inside air pure and consistent.

What are the improvements included in a spray foam insulation upgrade?
-Air quality is retained at a higher level than traditional insulation could ever retain. The improved air quality is a result of a sealed barrier created by the spray foam on the inside of walls.
-Spray foam seals better than any other agent, keeping outside air from entering the inner spaces of a home or building. With a complete barrier against the outside, air inside is kept constant, keeping the need for energy low. Low energy consumption leads to reduced energy bills and savings for the occupants of the house or building.
-Spray foam insulation also creates a sound barrier to the outside so neither the outside or inside is distracting to others. Keep annoying noises from entering inner spaces and rest assured that inside noise won't make its to the outside. The sound barrier is something traditional insulation could never produce.

The improvements of spray foam insulation have come to completely outweigh those of traditional insulation. The technology has been long in developmental stages, but is now reaching a point where it is being installed in all buildings and protecting spaces with greater strength.

Kool Foam delivers the latest in spray foam technology to those looking to upgrade insulation and gain an impenetrable barrier to the outside, use less energy and keep air pure for longer.

(PRBuzz.com) April 24, 2013 -- New York, NY - TheBinaryOptionsBroker.com, a website dedicated in providing reviews and rankings of various binary options brokers, has recently published another brokers list which displays the leading Forex brokers that are offering binary options. This list will act as a guide for existing or new Forex traders who want to invest in binary options trading form. The website also offers extensive informative articles on binary options trading to help both beginners and advanced traders gain further knowledge on this unique type of trading.

The media spokesperson of the website quoted on their latest publication, "Our list of Forex Brokers Offering Binary Options was released due to the increasing demand amongst Forex traders for having another choice of investing in Forex through binary options trading. This trading method is quickly becoming popular amongst new and existing traders mainly due to its simplicity. An investor only has to decide whether the price will move up or down with respect to current price at specific expiration time. Binary options trading is considered to be a riskier trading method since the outcome is either a fixed percentage of the amount invested or nothing at all. However investing as such is a risky business and requires experience and talent for speculation of price. Many successful traders will say though that determining whether price will move up or down is much easier than speculating the approx points by which the index maneuvers."

The list has prominent Forex brokers such as Vantage FX, Instaforex and 4XP. A brief review of each broker and its specifications are also published on the website to help traders compare their features. TheBinaryOptionsBroker.com has now become a leading website in offering advice on binary options trading. Its comprehensive reviews and ranking of the various binary options companies has been complimented by many experienced traders. The website's reviews follow a straightforward tone and clearly mention all details of each broker, a trait which is seen in every publication of the site.

Introducing binary options to Forex can make investing in Forex less risky for the existing traders. Forex Trading is already considered a much risky form of trading however the returns on long term positions have turned out to be favorable. The ability to make profits in both directional movements of currency pairs is one of the advantages Forex has along with many other unique benefits.

Fishersville, VA (PRBuzz.com) April 24, 2013 -- Author and Nationally Syndicated Columnist Earl Ofari Hutchinson exposes the NRA's massive two decade long campaign to intimidate Congress to torpedo any and every gun control bill. In his new ebook, How the NRA Terrorizes Congress - The NRAs Subversion of the Gun Control Debate, Hutchinson gives a penetrating inside look at the inner workings of the NRA's public and covert political, lobbying and funding operation that has held Congress hostage while enabling it to thumb its nose at the Obama Administration and public opinion on guns.

Hutchinson notes: "Since Congress's failure to reauthorize the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban which expired in 2004 it has been virtually mute on any gun curbs in the years since then. Since then more than 20 gun control bills and amendments have been written and introduced. Not one of them has made it to the Senate or House floor."

He tells how the NRA routinely buys, bullies, hectors, and harasses congresspersons, ignores and holds in contempt the Obama Administration, gun control advocates, and the general public that clamors for tough gun control measures with one singular goal: to kill passage of any new gun laws. Hutchinson writes: "This was plainly evident when the power behind the congressional throne, specifically the NRA's top congressional lobbyist, Chris W. Cox virtually ordered that Congress "reject" the tougher gun curb provisions. The dust had barely settled on the Senate's vote to shortstop a failed attempt at a GOP filibuster against the compromise deal that the GOP and conservative Democratic Senators brokered on the gun control bill before other GOP and conservative Democratic Senators began pecking away at it."

Even when it appeared that the NRA's formidable arsenal of weapons might not be enough to stave off the public clamor for tough gun control laws, the NRA still has had enough overt and covert money and muscle to get its way and kill gun curbs. Hutchinson lays out the NRA's chilling and wildly successful blueprint to hold Congress hostage in the following chapters.

• The NRA's Post Sandy School Massacre Offensive

• The NRA's Congressional Intimidation Report Card

• The NRA's Election Subversion Campaign

• The NRA's Big Mean Congressional Money Machine

• The NRA's Game Plan for Future Victories, And How to Combat It

Hutchinson notes: "The NRA is not invincible. Though Congress turned thumbs down on the two provisions that the overwhelming majority of Americans want to become law: a ban on assault weapons and universal background checks, this in no way means that gun control curbs are dead in perpetuity in Congress. Obama has called tougher gun control laws "common sense." This signals that if there is a relentless and determined public outcry and push that a meaningful gun control bill could one day pass.

How the NRA Terrorizes Congress - The NRAs Subversion of the Gun Control Debate exposes the open and dirty secrets of the NRA and gives hope to an aroused public and officials to end its two decade domination of Congress.

About the Book:
KT Masters never apologizes; as a big-time producer, he never really has to. That is until he tears showgirl waitress Laura Charles' feathered costume, and she demands an apology--or else! But this feisty woman sets him aflame with her quick-fire temper and the tantalizing way she fills out the outfit that got him into this jam in the first place. KT wouldn't mind seeing a lot more of that costume . . . balled up next to his bed, that is. What he doesn't want to admit is that he'd also like to see a lot more of Laura Charles!

Despite KT's arrogant attitude, Laura can't help but be drawn to him. And when he offers her the fling of a lifetime--a week spent in his gorgeous celebrity arms--she's willing to play along . . . just so long as her heart stays out of it.

But as things heat up between them, going back to the way things were isn't so easy. Could their passion be the real thing . . . or just a vacation from reality?

About the Author:
Cheryl Harper is often entertained by the goings-on, and saddened by the serious lack of shopping and restaurants, in her small Southern town. In her spare time, she's mesmerized by Gordon Ramsay and most televised cooking competitions, British dramas and actors, and just about any show people will be talking about the next day. When it comes to reading and writing, Cheryl prefers a few laughs and a happily-ever-after ending.

New York, NY (PRBuzz.com) April 24, 2013 -- Preserve Our Legacy, Inc. was launched more than six years ago, with the intentions of trying to help save lives, after a friend's son lost his battle to leukemia. Brett and Shana Melius were unsure of which road to take, however, divine intervention had them embark on a mission to increase awareness about treatment options available to patients in need through stem cells.  On Wednesday, May 1, 2013, Preserve Our Legacy will host a networking fundraiser with the theme "Spare Cells Saves Lives" at The 40/40 Club located at 6 W 25th St, New York, NY 10010.  Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Chrisette Michele will host this event.  Tickets are $75 for general admission, $100 for VIP.       Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Chrisette Michele Blessed with a gorgeous instrument and described as a "soulful songbird" by Entertainment Weekly, the Long Island native proved to the world that she could live up to the hype, after collaborating to make hit records with Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Drake, Nas and many more.  Chrisette Michele had this to say when she was asked about the importance of good health, "My aunt was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia and because of that disease she lost part of her leg. The Sickle Cell trait is something that runs in my family. So this is something you always have to be aware of. These health disparities really hit home for me, especially when my mom had a stroke two years ago. That's when I realized as African Americans, we have to eat better and exercise to have better quality of life.  That's what my journey to becoming "Better" was all about.  It was about becoming "Better" health wise, physically and spiritually. It was about becoming "Better" as a person and as a woman. So in order to do that, I had to change my entire diet. First, I became a vegetarian, and then soon after I became a vegan and lost over 30 pounds. That helped me to have a healthier lifestyle."   Spare Cells Saves Lives Spend a wonderful evening with Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Chrisette Michele as she shares her thoughts and unique view of the world on various health disparities that affect our community. During the event you will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, a chance to win a destination trip of your choice, as well as many other quality items that the New York City community has to offer.

Umbilical Cord Blood Program at Harlem Hospital.  The organization also spearheaded NJ legislation - Jaden's Law to increase awareness about PBSC and bone marrow donation within various ethnic communities that was signed by New Jersey Governor Christie on August 25, 2012.  In 2011, New York Assemblyman Keith L.T. Wright established May 3 as "Bone Marrow & Cord Blood Awareness Day", for New York State.  The organization's goal is to get their legislation A06582/S2115 - Jaden's Law passed in New York State.   Jaden's Law Jaden Hilton lost his life at only 3 years old because he did not have a bone marrow or stem cell donor for a lifesaving transplant.  So many children and adults are unable to receive this life saving treatment that has existed for 30 years simply, because there are still not limited available donors on the national registry.  We can change that. We can tell Albany that it is time to pass Jaden's Law.     Sign our petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/calling-all-fellow-new-yorkers-we-need-your-help-getting-new-york-a06582-s2215-passed ###
