 Good afternoon, everyone. We're going to give folks just a minute to log on and we will get started in just a moment. Thanks for joining. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you all for joining this really important webinar today and happy Earth Month. Welcome to our greening NYC nightlife webinar. I'm Jose Sogard, Deputy Director for the Office of Nightlife. For those of you who don't know, we are a liaison between the city and the nightlife industry of businesses, workers, performers and patrons. As always, if you have any issues or questions about your role in nightlife or anything that's going on with your venue or your events, please always feel free to reach out to us at nightlife at media.nyc.gov. Today's webinar is part of a series of courses we created called night school or nightlife industry training and education. This is a new series to share resources and trainings for nightlife owners, workers and patrons with sessions for how to best engage with city agencies, learn tips for proactive harm reduction, addressing quality of life issues and more. You can find out more information at nyc.gov slash night school. That's and that's N-I-T-E as you see on the screen, and we will also put a link in the chat. Today, we're happy to share with you a new resource and partnership with Future Meets Present who are working to design and visualize a sustainable future. They are here today to present you some tips and strategies for how you can get started or go further to reduce the climate impacts of your venues and events. We're so excited to have them here today and to be kicking off this partnership with them. Before I introduce them to conduct the presentation, just a few quick housekeeping notes. First, please use the Q&A feature in the Zoom to let us know any questions you might have throughout the meeting. And after the presentation, we'll have some additional time for Q&A as well. The meeting is being recorded and live streamed to Facebook and a recording will be available to share with anyone you know who would like to view the training at a later time. Again, you can always visit nyc.gov slash night school. That's N-I-T-E school as you see on the screen to find information on other scheduled trainings as well as previous webinars that have been part of this series. So now without further ado, I would like to introduce my colleague, Amir Jandali is the CEO and founder of Future Meets Present, and I'm sure you will find his energy and enthusiasm as contagious as we do. So thank you so much for being with us here, Amir, today. The floor is yours. Please take it away. Okay. There you go. All right. Audio coming in. We got my video. Let's see. Can we get my video going over here? Sorry, my video. We in. All right. Oh my God. Amazing. Here we go. First of all, thank you. That was such a beautiful introduction. This is so, so awesome. Let's see. We got 20 people on the call right now. Thank you everyone for joining. This is super cool. My name is Amir. Let me get my screen share going here for you. Oops. Excuse me, guys. Sorry. We actually just finished troubleshooting this. Let me share my right screen with you. There we go. All right. Are we in? Is this good? Can you give me a signal? Yeah, that looks great. Okay, amazing. Welcome everybody. This is super cool. I'm very, very excited and honored to be sharing with you what you will find to be both a little bit of a personal journey of mine and a share a discovery of how I found sustainability to get out of the silo of the granola conversations exclusively about exclusively about solar panels and how does it live and help us turn up a sustainable future. So what we have here is actually I asked AI to show us what is the vision of a sustainable future of nightlife look like. So we're going to start here with this vision. I'm going to take you on a little journey. So the theme of today, the real objective, my friends, is to demystify. It can be so easy to think about sustainability as just big broad topic that's just so hard to grasp. But the theme is to demystify climate solutions. And here's the agenda. So we're going to do a quick welcome and a survey poll. I'm going to introduce myself and future meets present and how this came to be. I'm going to introduce you to greenhouse gas emissions and demystify that world. We're going to look at global climate goals, the inflation reduction act. And how the global climate goals tie in with New York City regulations and vision. So we're going to start really high level demystifying climate solutions and then contextualize that for New York City nightlife. And then we're going to take a look at the nightclub of the future which you got a glimpse of on the first slide. Finally, our call to action today is to join the future meets present nightlife pilot program. Here's some keywords and concepts to get us started. First gas emissions, I'm sure we've all heard about them, but quite simply, ghd emissions are planet warming gases. They're emitted through virtually any human activity. The most common greenhouse gases are CO2 methane, not just oxide fluorinated gases and water vapor actually pretty interestingly enough now CO2 is the one that we hear most about, because it's the most abundant, but they're all really especially methane because, although that gas is not as abundant as CO2 methane warms a lot more than CO2 so a little we're going to get pretty nerdy to here just to set your expectations not not too bad don't worry. So that's greenhouse gas emissions. Next up we have net zero. And this is quite simply think about it like balancing your checkbooks. We're using our greenhouse gas emission checkbooks. It's a term that defines a future state where we're not emitting more emissions and we're able to draw down so human activity causes emissions. In the future we want to get to a point where we're able to balance, pull down emissions at the same rate and we're emitting them. So that's net zero and if this is already new, it's not new to you. That's the validation. If it is new to you. Let it serve as the mortar between your bricks to help help you grasp these concepts so next up we have 1.5 degrees Celsius, which is the unanimously agreed upon threshold of warming. Our collective goal as a species, as humanity is to keep warming global warming below this limit by 2050. We've already reached 1.1 degrees Celsius so clock is ticking. Which means it is time for urgent action, which to me means it's a time for immense opportunity. That's I'm incredibly just in awe by this moment that we get to see everything in our economy transform. So, finally, this is not a term that's discussed too often, but for those of us for those of us on the call today, I want us to think beyond net zero, not just balancing our checkbooks. But I want us to think about how to be draw down aligned and we're going to nerd out about this a little bit more in a few slides as well. But it's not enough just to balance our checkbooks. But how do we align ourselves with that future state where emissions are going down and draw down aligned is a business strategy that goes beyond net zero and utilizes all of an organization's economic social political capital to shift global culture to 1.5 degree scenario. And this is particularly important here for nightlife because we are culture makers where the sources of it people come to nightclubs to celebrate to loosen their ties to enjoy to dance. It's a source of life and nightclubs nightlife can be an incredibly powerful lever to shift culture towards a 1.5 degree scenario so it's a little bit of keywords and concepts for you and now we're getting off to a little bit of a rocky start here is a lot of concepts but we're going to bring it down home. So, before we get started, I want to get to know you if you could take a moment please and scan our QR code. We have a few questions we'll just you have a moment there just at least pull it up, and then get some questions asked for us so I'm going to give a huge shout out to my amazing interns Clara and Rhea who put these survey questions together. I'm super stoked about that. And also can we check is the chat feature working. We said we know if the chat features working. It is. Yes. Oh, Rhea. Okay, there we go. Hi. Okay. Amazing. All right, cool. Now we're in the flow of things great. We can chat phones panelists Emily amazing amazing. I mean by hosts hosts and panelists okay cool well I can call some of them out but the chat is working that's great. So if you got a chance to get to the QR code amazing we I want to hear from you. You can put in the chat and I'll read out a couple of these. What motivated you to come today. Hey Mitch. It's amazing. Awesome. Yeah what motivated you all to come today. I'm sorry if you're like putting the QR code stuff into want to make change in the night likes. Thank you Sean. I care about the world. Yes, planning for Earth Day events and climate week want to bring more community together. Love it. Yeah, we'll take another moment I'm going to keep going but please keep letting me know in the chat. What you're why you're motivated to come today. We need to make impact cool yes to learn and grow and make the world a better place. Cool. Right. Love it love it love it. Okay, so a little bit about me want to introduce myself and like why am I even here talking to you right now what does this make sense why am I the person to be delivering this message I'm from. I'm living small town in southern New Mexico called Las Cruces. It's a beautiful place when I left Las Cruces about 80,000 people. Lovely town. Beautiful met mountains in the background amazing place to grow up my family owned an Italian restaurant. So growing up I always kind of had a blurred sense of what a stranger was there was no such thing as a stranger everybody was family. And now I move to New York City I'll tell you more about this in a little bit but I have the honor of teaching into universities here at Parsons and at John Jay I teach social entrepreneurship at John Jay and also sustainable business models at the graduate school level at Parsons. And on one hand we give students permission to feel and permission to create a for purpose company. On the other hand, we analyze the role of private sector and reaching climate goals. So this is what I'm up to now in addition to running an annual event during New York City Climate Week, this is the marketplace of the future. We're one of the longest running consecutive events in climate week history. And for those of you didn't know, New York City Climate Week is the largest one on the planet, we're the official vision partner for climate week. And yeah so it's a little bit of what I'm up to now. My background started here in the nightlife scene, Las Cruces, New Mexico. This actually is an El Paso. This is a music festival called Sun City Music Festival. And it was a beautiful time of my life is amazing. I was so honored to share the stage with artists such as Chris Lake I opened for him twice. Not that bottom picture that you know that was all him I let him take one down by himself but the middle picture. You know Chris Lake open for him. There I also got to open for other amazing artists like Avicii actually bless him before he passed away. Well as Eric Marillo super house legend and hip hop icon little john so that was my life for about five years full time this is what I was doing. And 2013 I won best of the best of the El Paso Las Cruces region best of the best nightclub DJ was really amazing honor. And so that that was the life right so this is my personal context now it connects with this webinar today. So it's my personal context and then one night. I had an experience that would come to change everything I watch this documentary called bag it about single use plastic bags and, and I think it was just, it was a heartbreak moment for me. And something I talked to my students all about. It's really important that we just slow down here for a moment and recognize that heartbreaks lead to breakthrough. And, and three in the morning I'm watching this documentary about plastic bags and it was a heartbreak moment for me I learned obviously about single use plastics and the amount of ending up in the ocean and the animals that are being harmed and that kind of thing but the biggest thing for me the revelatory moment was, how did I not know about this before. How was I at the store yesterday and no one was reminding me to bring a reusable bag. What's up with that and then suddenly it felt like the apocalypse and now the Greek definition of apocalypse my friends is not the end of the world it is simply lifting of the veil. And my veil was lifted and I saw the world for what it was and what it could be. I say it kind of felt like Hogwarts was real, all because of this documentary three in the morning. And so that heartbreak galvanized me to do something and that's when I moved to New York City, and I got my masters in design for social innovation. And I was suddenly in a whole new world that I never would have thought I would be and especially not one sitting behind a sewing machine, because in grad school, we had an assignment and it was designed a tool to solve a social issue. So sitting there and thinking about various ideas and finally it hits me. I want a solution to plastic bags. And I want it to be a symbol of self expression. I wore a lot of lift strong bracelets at the time I didn't have any bracelet that said anything about tote bags but I didn't want a bracelet that just said bag. I wanted a bracelet that was a bag. I wanted a bracelet tote. So I googled it. And it was a great thing. How often do you Google something and get no results, never. Right so I worked on it until until eventually I created it so you can see here, and I'll get my background going on but you can see I got this wrap around my wrist. And then it opens up into a tote bag, useful bag right. So it's really out of recycled materials super easy to use machine washable you go like this, and then pull it back together. And then you have your bag. So that's what that started all because of that documentary that I watch it three in the morning right so the conditions were perfect. For me to be experiencing this heartbreak about some semblance of normalcy in the world that suddenly was no longer normal. It's a heartbreak that is a heartbreak when something that you think is normal isn't anymore. And I trust it we're all here in this call because we've experienced our own heartbreaks and that's super important to recognize super important to honor because the whole world is undergoing its own heartbreak right now. And we're here, because the nightlife sector can be an incredible opportunity for breakthrough. And that gets me breaking hype. So moving on from there, ended up selling several bags, I think we broke around 1000 units people really love them. And it was awesome. So now you have a DJ in New York City, getting his masters in design, thinking about how to intervene in the world and like what's my role and how do we shift the needle and how do we move culture towards I didn't know like zero at the time or draw down or any of that kind of stuff but I just, I knew I was like called by something right. So I'm walking down the street in Times Square. And I see an ad by Adidas these shoes parlay for the oceans these shoes are made out of ocean plastic and I look at this and I'm like dang, these guys are making materials out of products out of recycled materials too. So I'm not the only one thinking this way. The big boys are thinking about this too. Obviously this is what's going to be normal in the future. So what I'm looking at is not so much an ad but what I'm looking at is an indicator of what it looks like when the future meets present and that just dawned on me right there and that became this hashtag that I would use. What's the name of my company so what does it look like when the future meets presence. And every time I would look and see ads like this or news articles like this, a plastic band sire foam, Oregon State banning sire foam or the largest offshore wind farm is approved in Virginia or US renewable energy surpasses coal. These are all signs indicators of what it looks like when the future meets present. So now this is this context of contexts, if you will, it's kind of my mother, my mother world view. And it all is really centered around this oversimplified graph. Now we talked about greenhouse gas emissions we talked about drawdown. This is a chart showing two scenarios again oversimplified but for the sake of this conversation imagine a chart showing rising greenhouse gas emissions and falling greenhouse gas emissions we implement solutions to climate change. Logically speaking at some point those emissions will start going down that moment it's a moment in time that moment is called the moment of drawdown when someday we're going to open up our phones in the morning we're going to look at Apple and it's going to say, we have reached drawdown that is the moment in time in which emissions peak and begin going back down. And you see net zero by 2050 all over the place this is what we're talking about everyone in the world is galvanized around this idea. Let's dive into this a little bit more right. So if we're thinking back to our agenda. That was the intro about me origins of future meets present demystifying climate solutions and dream demystifying greenhouse gases okay. So let's jump to this right here it's common metaphor for green gas gas emissions in the atmosphere is a bathtub. Quite simply you can think of it that way. And our objective is to not let that bathtub overflow, or in this case overflowing means warm up to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Where is that water coming from. There's six main sources energy transportation food and agriculture industry buildings and then other other simply represents leaky pipes and infrastructural issues like that. But the five other ones are the main sources of emissions the main economic sectors that are creating all of the world's emissions. And if you think about it. There's a little flip there. Nothing we do on a day to day life in our day to day lives escapes these categories. Transportation you think about how we get around cars trucks maritime shipping planes, buses, semi trucks, everything to move us and our stuff around. Industry, we're thinking about the stuff that is getting moved around the plastics the metal concrete cement glass electronics, all the things like that stand for represent are represented by industry food and agriculture how we're growing our food our soils health, that entire ecosystem. We have energy, the electrons that are flowing through our cables the ones that are allowing you to see and hear me right now, buildings are built environment where humans spend most of our time. These are the categories, the sources of greenhouse gas emissions right so hold that framework in your mind. Now take a step back. So what are the sinks of those emissions of those are the sources of the water in the bath. What is the sinks, what are the sinks look like, simply highest order categories we have three sinks land ocean and engineered land sinks plants literally breathe co2 we learned that in elementary school and oceans, although might, you might not think of it are a tremendous carbon sink 70% of the earth surface is water. And the phytoplankton that is on the surface of the ocean has enough carbon capture potential to match all of the world's rainforests and forest combined. So between land and ocean we need these ecosystems to be healthy and thriving. So they can pull emissions out of the atmosphere because we're emitting them so much. Now we're at a point where land and oceans alone can't can't can't do it alone. We need engineered sinks as well. Now this is a very emerging industry it's not enough to move the needle by any means, but this is a huge tremendous potential in the coming decade for direct air capture and literally sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. This is great, great, great, great, great. I'm also just checking in the chat please like if anybody has any questions or anything along the way you know just want to like gut check and make sure we're all good and moving forward to the same pace together. So let me go next year. Here's an oversimplification a simplified chart of the sources and sinks. I'll let you take a look at that for a moment. Now moving on. This is right here is probably about as nerdy as we're going to get so don't, you know, don't worry. Keep your hat on tight. Yeah, take a look at this. It's a little bit more of a granular zoom into the sources of emissions, right we're starting really high level, then we're going to bring it down to night clubs. So right like look at an industry you got 20% 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions coming from industry got waste chemicals cement cement, 3% transportation flying so the entire aviation industry represents 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions cement represents more emissions than the entirety of the aviation aviation industry you really think of it that way. Start to be able to contextualize these solutions and see the raindrops from the cloud it's not just this big scary idea anymore but you can look. I mean, this is very exciting because inherent to knowing the sources of emissions is knowing the sources of solutions. That's the beautiful reminder of this moment in time where all of these sectors of the economy get to be transformed. Those same categories reflected global in a global landscape and in America. And while the categories are the same, the nuances and the proportions of them will be different based on the infrastructural needs and the cultures, etc. So there's global emissions there's USA. Now there's New York State. And here's New York City. It's tremendous right when you look at you mean New York City I mean it makes sense we're nothing but buildings here. So 70% of our footprint comes from buildings. And now you are empowered with a context and a framework to be able to make sense of this content. So when you see headlines like. Apple says more suppliers committing to renewable energy, or the largest US offshore wind farm is approved in Virginia you know exactly where they fit into the pie. I hope that gives you a little bit of peace of mind that you can move through the world now with these new context lenses. And then you will look and see everything Oh that comes from industry Oh that comes from energy this is building so that's food and agriculture great. I want you to be extra empowered by following up that that inquiry, following that context up the observation up with the inquiry of like great well then who's working on it. You know we don't want to be the fetus here and think that like oh my God everything's submitting emissions for us, it's who's working on it. And how do we turn them up. What does that look like. I'm going to show you all now what I look to as one of my sources of truth this is draw down. We heard the term earlier but this is a nonprofit site. They're the world's leading resources for resource for climate solutions so take a look at this you explore project drawdowns website bill screen recording here earlier. You can scroll down you can look into the sectors. And as we described them earlier, you see energy food and agriculture industry transportation buildings, we see the sinks land and ocean sinks we see engineered sinks. And then of course we see solutions around health and education because what's the point of doing all this if we're not uplifting society. So draw down his website, scroll through an entire library of solutions that you can see everything from composting efficient aviation, electric trains electric cars, force protection, etc. Now, last thing I'll show you and then we'll move into into contextualizing this for the nightlife. Let's go on a little thought experiment for a moment imagine that same chart of rising greenhouse gas emissions that splits into various scenarios. High, medium, medium, high and low. So what we want to look at is what's the desired future that we want that net zero future that future where all of those solutions that we just saw on the previous screen where all these are normalized. If we just shift our perspective might we see indicators that that future is not far off in time and space but is right here all around us. Might we look and see compost programs and electric vehicle charging stations and all these policies and everything that we're doing right here on this call might we see that all of those are indicators of that future expressing itself right in front of us. So if that's so how are we going to actually get there. If you haven't heard of this already, the inflation reduction act is the largest investment in climate action US history is the most significant climate bill in US history leading to a 40% reduction in emissions so this is this is tremendous and this was past last year has been worked on for the last couple of years it's more than $300 billion that have now been mobilized to address these climate solutions, address these climate actions and implement solutions so here's a quick snapshot of another pie chart. I'll just let you look at this for a moment see where all this money is going 64 almost $65 billion for renewable energy and clean energy investment tax credits. $36.85 billion in clean manufacturing 13.17 for clean hydrogen. We see some for commercial vehicles and EVs, EV charging. So here's a quick snapshot of the emission reduction potential by the inflation reduction act. So by 2035. We will see that if the target by 2030 is 50% by 2035 inflation reduction act will take us to 40% not all the way there, but huge huge potential. And that money is waiting to be given to people ready to implement those solutions. That's one of the reasons why we're here to taking us from global level inflation reduction act. And now scoping it to New York State. This is New York State scoping plan and it is a body of strategies that will help New York City, New York State and New York City obviously reach its net zero goals and here's some of the highlights from the scoping plan I want to share with you. High level goals, take a look at that. It identifies actions needed for New York to receive 70% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% zero emissions electricity by 2040. It's moving, the gears are turning. A couple of more highlights. Achieving deep decarbonization is feasible by 2050. Every sector will see significant transformation over the next decade and beyond, which will require critical investments in New York's economy. Everything is about to transform. To me that is tremendously exciting energy efficiency and end use electrification are central parts of any pathway that achieves New York State's emissions limits. So this is important because I want to take us as nightlife people out of the traditional ending plastics that can it's low hanging fruit and it's great and super important to get rid of straws and cups of course we have to remember that night clubs are building buildings. And so we need to reframe that in our minds that now if we're really looking at systemic climate action as a nightlife as someone in nightlife you're in a building so think about how your building can start reducing its emissions and let that cleaning of your own house be a galvanizing source to shift culture. So we see here approximately one or two million efficient homes must be electrified with heat pumps by 2030. This is this is true for commercial real estate as well. What else that's really great to know the cost of an action exceeds the cost of action by more than $150 billion. So these reduction strategies result in improvements in air quality, increased active transportation energy efficiency interventions, low moderate income homes, which generate health benefits. It all makes sense as a principle that we live by a future meets present, which is true solutions are irresistible. And these are some of the indicators of that and finally hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created 211,000 jobs expected to be created in growing sub sectors by 2030. Okay, turning up nerdiness one more for those that now got activated by how buildings can play a role by 2030 heat pumps will be the majority of new purchases for space and water heating. One to two million homes, 10 to 20% of commercial space using heat pumps by 2030 hundreds of thousands of additional homes to commercialize buildings becoming efficiently electrified each year. The 2050 vision for building sector sees 85% of homes and commercial building space statewide electrified the diverse mix of energy efficient heat pump technologies and thermal energy networks. And now zooming in a little bit more to this the scoping plans like 400 pages so yeah we we we come through with a fine tooth comb but if you look down here under the strategy be nine. This is y'all. This is us right here right now, scaling up public awareness and consumer education. So we're doing so the process already started right. Okay, now taking a step back. Remember those drawdown solutions we talked about a little bit earlier. This is an element where we can have the rubber meet the road and answer the question. What does it look like when the future meets nightlife. So, our body of recommended strategies, the solutions that we see fitting into this picture artist follows high efficiency heat pumps, green and cool roofs, building retrofits smart thermostats reduce plastics, building systems, composting photovoltaic solar panels, reducing food waste so the club of the future will have these solutions integrated into their operations. And they will also serve as a galvanizing force for the culture and community around it, because that's what we do period anyway. So this is what it looks like when the future meets nightlife and that there is money out there out here to pay for it. So there's 1.8 billion ready to scale up solar 6.8 billion ready to reduce building emissions. Here's some examples that we sifted through and found around the world cafe 1001 in London is a sustainable cafe and club that is powered by renewable energy sources and uses eco friendly materials in its construction. It also has a focus on sustainability in its food and drink offerings using locally sourced and organic ingredients whenever possible. Omnipolis hot. A beer hall that uses only renewable energy sources and donate a portion of it of their profits to environmental organizations. Finally, silo London UK zero waste restaurants that operates on a closed loop system, meaning everything that uses reuse or recycled in some way they even mill their own flower on site and use local seasonal ingredients. And there's plenty of options and models around us in New York City like the house of yes which is really awesome. In Bushwick, they've eliminated single use plastics and have partnered with oceanic global to reach to gain an oceanic standard certification so no plastics in their environment they even have little recycling bins, a little recycling capsules for cigarette butts and that kind of thing but it's a common understanding. It's a common sentiment that now what we've done our stuff with the plastics and what do we do next. That's what we're really here to to demystify and to to support you in doing and so a quick snapshot of our of our network as future means present. We work with New York City passive house with block power who specializes in in installing these heat pumps. Alloy development is an amazing company we just had on a panel discussion. They're building New York City's first fully electric skyscraper. What we call is this company that's creating amazing beautiful looking wall tiles that are actually batteries, they're set on your wall really beautiful and their batteries for capturing energy from solar panels on your roof. Carbon Quest is a company that is installing carbon capture inside buildings for electric heat pumps, I mean for gas burners so that they capture the carbon emissions from those gas burners before they enter the environment. That's a huge shot of people in our network that can support and people in our network that can support by signal boosting what you're working on impact hub New York City be social change Earth Day Initiative Climate Week NYC the carbon Almanac and draw down labs are collective community of partners, all working towards the same goal. So if that's not enough. It's really important to remind ourselves that 20 21% of customers will go out of their way to eat at a sustainable restaurant. And customers are demanding it. It'll increase your competitive advantage, opening and reaching new segments and increasing your employee retention hiring and working and acting on these things is simply the right thing to do. So here's a quick checklist for you feel free to take a screenshot take a picture of this these are things that you can do right away if you're a club owner. If you work in the nightlife sector, if you have someone's ear, you can speak directly into their ear, looking for stop all single use plastics compost everything. Get a smart thermostat install heat pump. Your restaurant add non meat menu options. Add sustainable alternative labels on your menu. Convey the ethos of your beliefs through your storytelling brag about everything you're doing or going to be adopting. I love this join bartender competitions or even focus or events focus on sustainability and highlight the carbon impact of each meal. Just salad if you go into any just salad around the country now you'll see there's the salad there's the price tag and then there's the emissions label. So super cool. Last thing your call to action right now is to join the FMP pilot program. We're partnering with a nonprofit called protecting America that exists to create pipelines for that federal funding to reach small businesses and policymakers. So, we're still in the early stages here but we're looking for champions that want to step forward that want our support that would like to turn their work into a case study. Let us work with you to hold your hand to map out the levers that you need to pull in order to become draw down aligned. Let us create a roadmap together let's come up with an awesome case study and let's scale this up. There's several offices of nightlife around the world so New York City can be the leader we already are. And I think we can really make something amazing amazing happen together super super stoked. So that's going to wrap it up for us today. We have an exit interview and exit poll. Please if you would be so kind as to pull your phones back out and scan this and answer some questions for us. But that's going to conclude our program today. Appreciate you all holding the space being here together for opting into this call. Thank you for being with me on this on this journey and allowing me to share what has become a really beautiful integration of the all the things that are beautiful in my life in our lives so very very cool moment to be alive. Yeah, I guess we'll stop there there's some stuff in the chat aerial hey awesome I love it. Thanks so much Amir. All right, and thanks to everyone for coming today I think we'll take a minute to see if anyone has any questions. And Amir I guess while we're waiting to see if there's any other questions. Is there a way that folks can reach out to you to get connected to the the pilot you're, you're working on. Yeah. For those of you who would like to stay connected to our night school webinars, we're putting that link in the chat as well right now. Great. Okay, I'm still not seeing any other questions so we'd encourage you guys to get connected to future meets present. Please take the the post webinar survey that's on the screen right now on the QR code. I just want to thank everybody for coming. You know we hope you've been able to take away some helpful information from the session and then you can really start to take some steps to put some of these tips and resources into practice so as always feel free to contact us at nightlife at media dot nyc dot gov or follow us on social at at nyc nightlife gov. So thanks everyone for coming today we'll leave the meeting running for just another minute so folks can pull down any other links or other info from the chat they need. Yeah, this is great we're getting some awesome questions. I love it. Yeah, are there any carbon calculators for drinks just like, like just salad before cocktail that is a great question. This is so good and thank you thank you all for your question it's the the the the main objective here honestly this is our this is our pilot to you know this is our first time, exploring together with the office of nightlife and presenting this information this way and it is intended to be treated as a primer code. As we hear the questions and thoughts and see what happens during this pilot program. You know the objective is to be able to come back and do an updated presentation with these questions, the answers to these questions integrated. But it'll be awesome the theme today was demystification so I really hope that that landed. Do you feel demystified Jose. Very. I'm usually feeling mystified. Okay. Okay, someone else asked for the PDF version of these slides I can absolutely do that yeah. That was Alex thank you Alex are there any data available through NYC or elsewhere that details how many buildings with nightlife businesses committed to this work. I don't think so. We don't have any sort of report where it's like cool all the clubs either the ones that are going green. Do we have anything like that. No not yet I think that's part of why we're initiating this partnership in this pilot. Thank you Diara that's such a good question we're going to say is there a way to like, keep the stuff in the chat that log. Yeah we have the full log. You have the full log perfect. So dump your questions everybody this is super helpful for us. Beautiful note here by a fellow DJ friend of mine. So glad this webinar is happening. This was very informational I don't have a question just want to add as a dd in the life industry. That is the incentives for applying sustainable practices isn't just for earth. It's for us. Having greener spaces in nightlife will help us all feel better without dancing and piles of trash or seeing the afterfall the next morning. Oh my God seriously. Thank you Jessica to go back to that as our closing slide. I see some folks starting to drop off I think just want to thank everybody again for coming and thank you so much Amir for your enthusiastic and energetic presentation we're so excited to be engaging with you in this partnership and look forward to more to come. More to come. Thank you.
