Today's blog I'm addressing SDG #5 gender equality which is near and dear to my heart as I've had so many positive female role models and compassionate women influencers in my life that I'm always looking for ways to help bridge the gap.

In today's world, where achieving gender equality stands as one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, it's vital to recognize that Goal 5, "Gender Equality," isn't just a fundamental human right – it's the cornerstone of a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable planet.
Now, imagine the surprising intersection of this noble aspiration with the traditionally male-dominated painting industry.
Which I personally never understood being on coating job sites all over the world for over 40 years and I've never been on one that a woman couldn't handle.
Even when there were heavy items or large pieces of equipment to move around, a team approach was always taken, not leaving it to one individual, man or woman.
I've worked with several women on the job sites over the years and never really understood why the whole industry has been disproportionately male dominated.
Especially being around hard-working women that tackle much tougher jobs than just slinging a brush and slapping coatings on a surface.
The coating industry, for generations, has been a puzzling maze of masculinity, but a remarkable transformation is taking place.
In the United States alone, the number of female painters has surged by 1.9% in just one year, marking a remarkable 3.9% increase over the past decade.
This surge is not a mere coincidence; it's the result of a groundbreaking revolution in green coatings.
Meet GEI Global Encasement Incorporated (GEI), a trailblazing force in the world of green coatings.
Their eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable coatings are nothing short of revolutionary.
But it doesn't stop there; they're also incredibly user-friendly - just open the buckets and apply with simple painting tools such as brushes, rollers or airless sprayers.
Being water based, non-toxic, biodegradable, with zero VOC's making the application process even easier and non-offensive to users and the environments they are applying them in.
These coatings, unlike their conventional counterparts, do more than just protect surfaces; they open doors to employment and job opportunities, particularly for women, in a rapidly expanding worldwide field.
The green coatings market is swiftly growing, and what's most exciting is the multitude of equal opportunity coating jobs opening up worldwide, offering women a once-unthinkable chance to break into a predominantly male-dominated industry.
In an era where we are striving for gender equality, GEI is leading the way, proving that a shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly solutions isn't just about saving the planet but also about creating a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable world.
As we delve into the extraordinary journey of GEI's green coatings and their impact on the coating industry, we uncover an inspiring story of empowerment, opportunity, and hope.
So, let's continue to explore how these groundbreaking coatings are not only transforming the way we paint but also breaking down barriers and shattering stereotypes to contribute significantly to Goal 5: Gender Equality.
Here’s the Highlights:
• Green coatings by GEI Global Encasement Incorporated (GEI) redefine the painting industry.
• Goal 5: Gender Equality, a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, is driving change.
• The historically male-dominated coating sector is witnessing a remarkable shift.
• In the United States, female painters have increased by 1.9% in a year and 3.9% over a decade.
• Eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable green coatings create job opportunities for women.
• The green coatings market is rapidly expanding, offering equal opportunity jobs for women.
• GEI's innovations are breaking down industry barriers and contributing to gender equality.
Tomorrow I'll jump into how GEI, Green Coatings ENCASEMENT work with goal #7: Affordable and Clean Energy

"We need to consider what else we can do to empower women in the workplace, especially in growing industries. The demand for more flexible work hours is a future necessity that can be met by putting women to good use."
“Economic growth can't achieve its full potential if we leave women behind, and we can't move ahead by leaving behind half of our population.”
“We can’t realize our economic goals if half our population is under house arrest.” - Prime Minister Narendra Modi

The three options of dealing with asbestos are removal, do nothing and the more practical, widely accepted method of in-place management. I’ll be examining the option of in-place management which is often the best choice for many projects.

The first time I heard about Earth Day was when I was in the eighth grade and my well admired and clever science teacher opened up a discussion on the cons of earth day stating it was some sort of liberal nonsense and a hoax. This agitated most of the class. He further stirred the pot by claiming that it didn’t matter how much pollution we caused, that the planet could take care of itself. He went on to say that the oceans were so vast and deep enough that we could go on dumping in them for hundreds of years and never have a negative impact. We could continue to let industry spew out pollutants into the air and never face any consequences. He was insistent that we could deposit waste where ever and how ever we wanted and that the earth and environment would, as if by magic, absorb it all.

Asbestos and lead-based paint – you know them well. They lurk in older schools, housing complexes, military installations and other buildings, waiting silently to inflict disease and sometimes death on their occupants. Today, asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are found in over 700,000 buildings in the United States, and loose, flaking, or peeling lead-based paint (LBP) is present in more than 72 million United States homes, schools, and other buildings constructed before 1978.

Every year damaging winds accompany hurricanes, typhoons and other strong wind events that leave a trail of destruction. Building and home owners are left with devastating huge building repairs and replacement costs. Some of these buildings can be salvaged and made stronger, defending against the next storm. Others are a complete write-off. It’s not unusual in all the destruction to see a building or house left standing with its roof and walls intact. This is usually a structure that is wind-resistant and better prepared to defend against a strong weather onslaught.
