BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB EARTH DAY

Earth day is on April 22nd and Brookhaven National Lab is celebrating in a unique way. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. They operate cutting-edge large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. In honor of Earth Day, Brookhaven National Lab is holding many events that include:

  • Learn about green office products and how to buy Environmentally Preferred Products (EPP) at the Earth Day Sustainable Office event! All Lab employees are invited to learn more about “green” office supplies, ask questions, and refresh their knowledge on how to purchase EPP.
  • The EPP presentation will be in two parts: The first part of the presentation explains EPP compliance requirements. The second part focuses on how to buy items or services that meet the compliance requirements and specifications. A must for all buyers and those who request office supplies, computers, laptops, tablets, and imaging equipment.

4 BMW Models Win IIHS 2019 Top Safety Pick+ Awards

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing the losses from motor vehicle crashes. The IIHS fulfill their mission to reduce these losses by researching and reporting on crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and roadway design. Every year, IIHS evaluates vehicles and awards the safest cars in a crash with Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ Awards. To earn a Top Safety Pick Award, a new vehicle must earn ratings of Good in all IIHS crash tests, except for the passenger-side small overlap front test, where a score of Acceptable or Good is required. The vehicle also needs to earn an Advanced or Superior rating for front crash prevention as well as a score of Acceptable or Good for its headlight performance. To earn a Top Safety Pick+ Award, vehicles need to receive scores of Good on all tests, including the difficult passenger-side small overlap front test and headlight performance. They also need to score a rating of Advanced or Superior for front crash prevention. Four BMW models won Top Safety Pick+ Awards and one BMW model won a Top Safety Pick Award.
