“We work with them on education, first and foremost.”

Erin Davison, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Southwest Louisiana, has been in her role for almost seven years. She notes that now, more than ever, youth are facing heightened behavioral challenges after enduring the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m a social worker by trade, and we are seeing more youth come through the door with these challenges than any other time in my career,” says Davison. “There are more economic gaps to recover from—the pandemic and other natural disasters in this area caused up to an 18-month interruption for some people.”

And where interruptions occurred in employment, so too did they impact education—most critically for school-aged youth in kindergarten through Grade 2, when the “basics” are taught.

To combat this, additional BBBS programs for middle school- and high school-aged kids take on extra importance. For example, the MentorU program focuses on college readiness and career exploration for tweens and teens aged 12-18, expanding on the longstanding, evidence-based mentorship model that has been in place since the inception of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America in 1904.

BBBS of Southwest Louisiana helps youth aged 6 through young adulthood achieve their full potential by making a meaningful match with a volunteer mentor, or a “Big.” After a meticulous process of assessing hobbies, personalities and preferences, youth “Littles” are paired with their Bigs to begin their mentorship journey.

The most common age for a Little used to be 6 to 11, but the introduction of newer hybrid group mentoring programs catered to older kids has started to shift this upwards.

A recent Enbridge Fueling Futures grant of $5,000 to BBBS of Southwest Louisiana helps to support 400 youth needing mentoring and 80 youth waiting to be admitted into BBBS mentoring programs.

“Our waitlist of ready-to-be-matched kids more than doubled in the past nine months,” says Davison. “We need this kind of support from partners to help us address their challenges and improve school and career readiness for these kids.”

On average, the cost to support one youth is $2,000 per year.

BBBS of Southwest Louisiana works often with “asset-limited” families—those that earn enough to stay above the poverty line, but not enough to pay all their bills and make ends meet.

“We really try to stress economic empowerment with our youth,” says Davison. “While we can’t change their whole circumstance, we can provide positive interaction and support to help them better navigate life’s challenges.”

The BBBS agency is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year—a testament to its program success, backed by evidence. Self-reported changes from Littles include greater confidence in schoolwork performance, getting along better with their families, and a lower likelihood to engage in substance abuse or skipping school.

“We do our best to fuel their futures.”

Las Vegas Sands

In 2019, Sands and The WASH Foundation (previously the Clean the World Foundation) established the Drop by Drop Project to support innovative water stewardship projects through grants to local environmental champions in Sands’ host communities of Macao and Singapore.

Managed and operated by The WASH Foundation, the Drop by Drop Project supports initiatives that increase local water resiliency, reinvigorate ecosystems, incubate new water solutions and engage the community. Drop by Drop Project partners have reported significant progress on their identified goals for the program this past year.

Macao

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ), the Drop by Drop Project partner in Macao, has used its funding to study the role of mangroves in reducing plastic pollution in coastal wetlands, marking the university’s third year of participation in the program.

Through its latest Drop by Drop Project grant, USJ collected 100 sediment samples along coastal areas in Macao, and preliminary analysis of results show higher amounts of microplastics in the mangrove areas than areas without vegetation, indicating mangroves’ success in entrapping plastic to preserve ecology. The USJ team also measured the impact of water movement on pollution and found that mangrove forests in Macao, particularly areas with more mature trees, are able to attenuate waves.

Both outcomes demonstrate the capacity for mangrove forests to capture plastic pollution and point to the value of nature-based solutions to address environmental issues. USJ is using these results to educate and advocate for the protection of coastal wetlands through community engagement activities such as clean-up programs, native wetland vegetation plantings and educational initiatives. In addition, the university is preparing an article on its research results for peer-reviewed journals, as well as presenting at scientific conferences and meetings.

USJ also invested some of its Drop by Drop Project resources into awareness activities and engaged approximately 40,000 students and community members, including Sands China Team Members, in an array of initiatives. Activities included conducting public lectures about plastic pollution, holding a mangrove planting event in collaboration with the Macao government and creating a mobile exhibit for school visits.

Last June, Sands China hosted USJ’s Sea of Plastic exhibit, which featured installations made from recycled plastic, at The Venetian Macao. Created mostly by local students and artists, art pieces included sculptures of marine and coastal organisms with scientific display boards to provide essential information on the harmful effects of plastic pollution in the oceans.

Singapore

Conservation International, an organization that supports research, education and awareness about the need to responsibly and sustainably care for natural resources, has been a Drop by Drop Project partner for the past two years. The international nonprofit organization is using its grant funding to advance its Singapore priority on educating youth about the importance of sustainability and empowering them to be advocates for environmental responsibility.

Conservation International used its Drop by Drop Project grant to propel two key programs. First, the grant has enabled the organization to continue its five-part Ocean Conservation Virtual Learning Series, which features educational videos, interactive activities and informational guides to promote ocean conservation literacy and environmental advocacy among youth leaders.

Conservation International also took a big step forward with its advocacy work in Singapore by implementing the inaugural 10 for Zero award program, which identified and empowered 10 Singapore youth leaders who are advocating for a future of net zero carbon emissions and zero waste.

With Drop by Drop Project funding, Conservation International built the award program’s infrastructure and identified the first 10 for Zero recipients, who were honored in a ceremony at Marina Bay Sands last May. Awardees are now working with the nonprofit to curate their experience in the program and will participate in local and international environmental research, climate summits and workshops through December 2024. Conservation International also will connect award recipients to an exclusive network of global conservation experts for mentorship and coaching.

“The Drop by Drop Project is fueling significant contributions to promote sustainability and raise awareness of these organizations’ important work, which has a multiplier effect as more people become educated about environmental issues,” Manohar Shenoy, executive director of The WASH Foundation, said. “Our partnership with Sands as the funder of these leading organizations and their critical priorities has injected resources into Macao and Singapore to propel critical advancements in protecting their local habitats and natural ecology.”

Sands’ support for the Drop by Drop Project is part of the Sands ECO360 global sustainability program, which guides Sands’ work to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable practices in regions around the world.

As organizations push for a more sustainable world, more and more data centers are starting to explore alternative, lower carbon emission fuel options for use in their emergency power generators.

These generators that have traditionally been powered by higher carbon emitting diesel fuel combustion. Alternatives include among other options, biodiesel and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

It should be noted however, that organizations must evaluate air permit compliance when considering the use of alternative fuels. While the use of these alternative-diesel fuels is generally considered a cleaner-burning fuel compared to traditional petroleum diesel, it still produces emissions that can impact air quality and public health, thus impacting air permit compliance. In this blog, we delve into the implications of using alternative fuels in data center emergency power generators and the key considerations for maintaining air permit compliance.

Alternative Fuels and Data Centers

The data center industry is currently experiencing a period of unparallelled growth as the market size is expected to advance at a compound annual growth rate of 10.5% through 2030. Even in the face of a seemingly insatiable demand for commercial data management, more people and stakeholders are questioning data center emissions and their impact on the environment. With increasing pressure on data centers to improve their greenhouse gas footprint, the alternative fuels discussed below have risen in popularity.

Biodiesel

One alternative fuel option gaining traction for use in data centers is biodiesel. While biodiesel offers the advantage of reduced sulfur emissions, its lower British Thermal Unit (BTU) value means that more fuel is required on a gallon-per-hour basis. Understanding the air permit implications of switching to biodiesel is crucial, as it involves considerations such as emission monitoring and compliance with regulatory standards as well as potential notifications to the regulating air permitting agency in the form of an application or air permit modification.

It’s also important to be aware that biofuels, including biodiesel, may contain a small percentage of methanol, which is regulated as a hazardous air pollutant. Data centers must assess the emissions associated with methanol use and implement appropriate mitigation measures to ensure regulatory compliance.

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)

HVO fuel, sometimes referred to as renewable diesel, also presents an attractive alternative for data centers because it not only dramatically reduces carbon and overall greenhouse gas emissions, but it also eliminates sulfur emissions entirely, offering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly option for powering generators. It also typically results in lower levels of pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO). While this can help data centers comply with environmental regulations and mitigate their impact on local air quality, it still may require modifications to existing air permits that were applied for under the premise that diesel would be used to fuel the generators.

While there is growing interest in using HVO, challenges remain regarding its supply. With only a small number of refineries producing HVO, availability may vary dependent on geographical location. Because of this, many data centers use these alternative fuels mixed with traditional diesel in their generators since they still get credit for being more sustainable while also reducing emissions. Data centers must evaluate how the availability of HVO will impact their air permit applications and fuel procurement strategies.

Air Permitting Across Different States

Air permitting requirements vary from state to state, with some states requiring air permit modifications for the use of alternative fuels. Understanding these differences is essential for data center organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions to ensure compliance with relevant permits and regulations. Let’s look at a few air permit requirements when using alternative fuels on a state-by-state basis:

California

Using a new fuel in an emergency power generator in California requires a new air permit application be submitted to obtain the required permit modification.

Arizona

One Arizona regional air emission regulatory authority, Maricopa County, has announced that a written notification needs to be made to the Air Quality Department. The notification should reference the permit number, the combustion source, a description of the change in fuel, and assurances that the new fuel meets the low sulfur content requirements (HVO does meet the sulfur requirements).

Illinois

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency requires a change in Operating Permit for modifications to the fuel used in an emission source.

Iowa

No Permit amendments are required; however, it is recommended that some type of notification is submitted to document a change in fuel type.

Texas

If the existing engine has been registered under Permit by Rule (PBR) 106.512, and the site wishes to switch fuel type from diesel to an alternative, then a supplemental registration is not required, but the required operational records listed in PBR 106.512 (1)(c)(ii) must be maintained.

Wyoming

A site wishing to switch to an alternative fuel would need to submit a permit application encompassing the change and show the reduction of emissions for the new fuel to be employed.

Conclusion

While altruistic motives such as minimization of either emissions or carbon footprints are to be lauded, these actions don’t relieve a facility from its obligation for full regulatory compliance. Switching to an alternative fuel is really no different than any other physical or operational change at a site that could trigger some kind of permit or regulatorily required action.

As you do the right thing for the planet, remind yourself to do the right thing for compliance as well. Fully engage your Management of Change (MOC) process by either conducting an internal regulatory review or engaging a regulatory consultant to assist in evaluating the regulatory implications of an alternative fuel change.

In my tenure at GoDaddy, I’ve had the privilege of meeting numerous customers. While COVID posed challenges for in-person meetings, as travel resumed, I’ve made a concerted effort to meet with our customers. While their stories consistently inspire, a recent encounter resonated more deeply.  

A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bridgette Baldwin, the owner of The Hive, a mobile and event bartending service based in Phoenix, Arizona. Our customers are real people leading real lives, each with their own challenges and successes and they’re integral members of the GoDaddy family. Our conversation didn’t begin with GoDaddy products or business performance; it delved into something more personal. Bridgette is a single mom raising her seven-year-old daughter, which is no easy feat when you not only have a full-time job, but also a full-time side hustle.  

This narrative struck a chord with me. Her journey wasn’t without challenges, but through her passion and commitment, she persevered, turning obstacles into opportunities.  Now, her side hustle employs ten bartenders. Running her own business gave Bridgette the freedom to bring her vision to life and a greater sense of independence for her and her daughter. And Bridgette is not alone, according to GoDaddy’s Venture Forward initiative, women own the majority of microbusinesses, and single moms are one of the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs in the U.S. economy.  

Bridgette’s story exemplifies resilience and entrepreneurship. Starting as a server at 18, she honed her bartending skills while navigating the responsibilities of motherhood. Recognizing the limitations of late-night shifts, she ventured into entrepreneurship after bartending at a friend’s wedding. Her initial success propelled her forward, leading to a thriving business with a dedicated team. 

Central to Bridgette’s journey was her GoDaddy website, which lent her business credibility and expanded her reach beyond word-of-mouth referrals. Despite her achievements, she faces ongoing challenges, navigating a competitive market and pursuing her dream of having her own venue space.  

Reflecting on my encounter with Bridgette, I’m reminded of the ingenuity and determination that define our entrepreneurial community. Her reliance on trusted connections for hiring and her openness about areas for improvement underscore her commitment to growth, including her social media marketing, which Bridgette admits isn’t her area of expertise. I was happy to tell Bridgette about GoDaddy Airo™, our new AI-powered solution that proactively helps you build and grow your business. One of its features is a social media tool that builds AI-generated social posts for businesses with just a few prompts – something Bridgette could use to continue to stand out in a saturated market.  

If you find yourself in the Phoenix area and in need of a mobile bartender, I highly recommend The Hive. Some of us at GoDaddy were lucky enough to try some of Bridgette’s cocktails a few weeks ago and they were a hit! I recommend her most popular drink: The Prickly Pear Margarita.

And if you’re an entrepreneur looking to start your business or an established small business looking to grow, head to GoDaddy.com and learn how we can help.  

Cheers, 

Mark

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that Congress passed in 2021. The program offered eligible households a discount on their monthly internet or wireless plan, and a one-time discount on devices like a laptop or tablet. The $14.2 billion program helped some 23 million households, but it will end if Congress fails to renew funding.

The ACP was designed to bridge the digital divide, helping individuals and families gain access to essential online services, educational resources, job opportunities and more.

This philosophy is the backbone of T-Mobile’s Project 10Million, a $10.7 billion nationwide initiative aimed at helping to close the digital divide in education by offering free internet connectivity and mobile hotspots to up to 10 million eligible student households. The company also offers school districts free and heavily subsidized data plans, and everyone enrolled in the program has access to affordable laptops and tablets. T-Mobile has provided $6.4 billion in services and connected nearly 6 million students across the United States through Project 10Million and its other education initiatives.

Reliable and affordable wireless and internet service is a necessity for all in today’s highly connected digital world, and we will continue to serve those customers affected by the end of the ACP.
