Our team had the pleasure of volunteering at @2HarvestMidTN for our quarterly service event. We had had the opportunity to work alongside the people who dedicate their lives to feeding those who are food insecure, a problem that impacts 1 in 8 Middle and West Tennesseans daily.
How significant is Tennessee as a generator of #RenewableEnergy? Not as significant today as it will be in the next decade. That’s the consensus of solar developers meeting in Knoxville last week as part of the trade association TenneSEIA’s annual meeting.
For Calvert Street Group’s quarterly wellness activity, a team of staff members explored Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Natural Area and learned about efforts to conserve the flora, fauna, wetlands, meadows, and forests in the nature preserve.
While countries like England derive nearly a quarter of their energy from #offshorewind, slow permitting, NIMBYism and litigation have kept the U.S. largely out of offshore wind production. That’s one of the topics at @USCleanPower’s #ACPoffshore22 in Providence, RI this week.
Our staff participated in a wellness challenge during the third quarter. This challenge got us moving and in touch with our emotional health. Highlights our staffers shared included gardening, kayaking, taking a nature walk complete with birds of prey, and more!
Our Vice President Patrick Lynn was invited to view the newly completed $222 million replacement for the Merchants Bridge over the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Illinois.
The Calvert Street team knows how to retreat! We laughed and discussed, played games and rode on tri-toon boats on Cordell Hull Lake on Monday at our staff retreat. We identified areas to improve and celebrated personal and professional achievements.

DID YOU KNOW: Calvert Street Group has helped to bring more than 3.5 gigawatts of renewable energy to the U.S. electrical grid? We’re joining our clients in renewable energy to celebrate #AmericanCleanPowerWeek as we move to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030.
Our managing director, Darden Copeland, has an article featured in @REWorld about our work helping to garner support and combat opposition for #renewableenergy projects!
We celebrate Juneteenth as the day in 1865 when the news of emancipation made its way to the last Americans to hear the message. At Calvert Street, we also celebrate Juneteenth as a reminder that freedom and the promise of America extend to all citizens.
