Fort Myers Political Race Heats Up after Hurricane Ian!

It seems like whenever there is a really important election in the US, a hurricane hits Southwest Florida! As confusion and misinformation continue to plague Southwest Florida after Hurricane Ian, one voice rises above the rest.

Howard Sapp, a former air traffic controller from Washington DC has proven his leadership during this crisis time and time again.

Howard Sapp

Howard Sapp was out before, during and after the hurricane volunteering at shelters, delivering supplies, even helping repair residents houses to ensure that residents had power, water, and electricity. He worked tirelessly on behalf of the community and continues to do so, which is why his leadership is so badly needed at this time.

Originally from Fort Myers, Sapp returned home after a 30 year career in aviation and has proven that leadership is about taking care of those you love and care about.

To him, that means making sure there is proper legislation in place to support Southwest Florida residents all year long. He has stated that “We need to make sure that Fort Myers receives the funding it deserves” and that the residents have the support they need to rebuild and thrive.

He will not leave our most vulnerable citizens behind: our senior citizens, veterans, or any residents in need. Howard Sapp has the education, experience, and heart to make that happen.

Howard Sapp (Democratic Party) is running for election to the Florida House of Representatives to represent District 78. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 8, 2022.

How can Energy Audits inform your Net Zero Strategy?

Image
Many organisations are already in the habit of undertaking energy audits to highlight where energy and water efficiencies can be made, save on utility costs, and reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately, the sad reality of many energy audits and surveys (especially ones that are completed for compliance with ESOS), is that once they are completed, the report is often tucked away into a ‘virtual’ drawer, never to be seen again. But what if there was another use for that forgotten energy audit? Did you know that it could actually be a really useful business tool to help get you started on your net zero journey? To help you harness that data in a practical way, Energy Services Analyst, Rhiannon Farquhar explains what makes energy audits so essential to carbon management and how they can be used to get your business on the path to net zero. So, what are energy audits? To put it simply, an energy audit is an assessment of the energy needs and efficiency of a building (or process), which

Garden Offices | The Ultimate Work from Home Solution for 2021

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home Working from home was not so long ago considered a perk of the job, however, the much-longed-for 30-second commute, for many of us, has finally become a realisation. Prior to the global pandemic, we would have spent 492 days of our lives commuting to and from work and inevitably, Covid-19 has brought about a catalyst of change. Businesses are now seeing the benefits of reducing costs by giving up office spaces, and with commuting now significantly reduced, one of the biggest winners out of this situation is the environment. With this in mind, there’s no doubt that the “new normal” of home working is, quite clearly, here to stay. The general consensus is that working from home is wholly positive and can provide a better work-life balance. Whilst this is true, there is evidence to suggest that this can be quite the opposite, with staff working later than usual as they battle to “switch-off” when their working day is over. So, what’s the solutio

Forgiveness Plan Would Remove One-Third of Students’ Loan Debt

Image
About one in three Idahoans who have federal student-loan debt would see it erased entirely if the Biden administration goes forward with a $10,000 forgiveness plan. That’s according to analysis from the website Student Loan Hero . President Joe Biden is considering eliminating the debt through executive order. Andrew Pentis, a senior writer and certified student loan counselor at Student Loan Hero, said the average monthly loan repayment in Idaho is $274. “Whether you have more or less than $10,000 worth of student loans left to repay, this dose of forgiveness would be hugely helpful, in either getting rid of your debt or shrinking it considerably,” said Pentis. “So certainly, if you’re a borrower in Idaho, you’d be rooting for something like this to happen.” The Trump administration paused federal student loan repayments in March 2020 during the pandemic. Biden extended the pause on his first day in office through at least October 1. Some Democrats want the Biden administration
