Newport World Resorts earns fourth Silver Certification for sustainability

For its performance across key sustainability indicators in 2025, Newport World Resorts (NWR) received its fourth consecutive Silver Certification from EarthCheck, the global environmental certification and benchmarking program for the tourism and hospitality industry. The criterion places strong emphasis on long-term consistency, requiring properties to maintain verified performance year after year.At the core of the leisure and entertainment complex’s sustainability initiatives is its I LOVE Earth program, a property-wide commitment to responsible hospitality. Guiding it in turn is the H.E.A.R.T. framework: Healthy, Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing; Environmental Impact; Active Benchmarking and Certification; Reform, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose; and Transform through Teaching, Training and Engagement. This approach grounds the resort’s sustainability work in five integrated pillars that steer how it sources, conserves, reforms, measures and engages.First is the building of healthier and more responsible food systems. Through strengthened partnerships with local producers, 58.77 percent of the property’s total food purchases were sourced locally, supporting community livelihoods and reducing reliance on long transport routes. The shift toward ethical sourcing continued across all hotels, with 87.23 percent of eggs now cage-free and 29.05 percent of seafood verified under responsible sourcing standards. The property’s urban farm sustained its role in on-site production, harvesting 397.99 kilograms of greens as of October 2025.From January to October 2025, Newport World Resorts’ renewable systems generated 1,491 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy, while engineering improvements contributed an additional 429 MWh in savings for the month of October alone. These efforts reduced operational energy consumption from 118.70 MWh in 2024 to 116.53 MWh in the same period that year. The transition to off-site renewable energy beginning March 2025 further accelerated the property’s shift to lower-emission operations.Circularity and reduction efforts also marked 2025. As of October, food waste decreased by 17.46 percent, supported by Winnow AI deployments in key kitchens and strengthened utilization of diversion partners. Under the Digital First initiative, the property saved 1,395 reams of paper, equivalent to 84 trees and 3.49 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent avoided.Employees extended the program’s mission into surrounding communities through seedling planting activities, LOVE Kitchen feeding programs, relief operations, coastal cleanups and youth-focused outreach.Entering 2026, Newport World Resorts aims to achieve EarthCheck Gold certification, a distinction awarded only to properties that demonstrate five continuous years of certified best-practice performance.

Dogecoin’s Third Time Breakout Could Send Price On 2,000% Rally To $2

Dogecoin is once again approaching a technical inflection point that has historically preceded explosive upside. According to crypto chartist and pattern analyst @TATrader_Alan, the meme coin is completing a structural setup that has already delivered two major parabolic advances. If the pattern resolves the same way for a third time, the projected upside could extend toward the $2 level, representing roughly a 2,000% move from the broader base region. Dogecoin’s Third Solid Base In a recent monthly timeframe analysis on X, the chartist pointed to what he describes as a recurring “Solid Base” formation. He notes that Dogecoin has completed this structure twice in prior cycles. On both occasions, the base-building phase was followed by rapid vertical expansion in price. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Reach Key Decision Level To Trigger Another 100% Wave The chart highlights prolonged consolidation zones where the price compresses over an extended period. These zones are characterized by reduced volatility, gradual accumulation, and tightening ranges. In previous cycles, this compression phase acted as stored momentum. Once the price cleared the upper boundary of the structure, the move accelerated quickly into a parabolic markup phase. The current setup, as shown on the monthly chart, mirrors those earlier formations. Price action has once again spent significant time consolidating within a defined range, forming a clearly visible base. The analyst emphasizes that Dogecoin is now positioned at the edge of this third structure, suggesting that the compression phase may be nearing completion. Historically, the first two bases led to exponential rallies that dwarfed the preceding consolidation periods. The implication is not based on short-term speculation but on repeating structural behavior visible across multi-year cycles. The measured expansion from previous breakouts, when applied proportionally to the present base, supports the possibility of a move that could extend toward the $2 region if momentum unfolds in a similar fashion. Cup And Handle Pattern Reinforces Breakout Case On the daily timeframe, the chartist further identifies a classical continuation structure forming within the broader macro base. He outlines a Cup and Handle pattern developing in real time, reinforcing the larger bullish thesis. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Can Still Reach $1, But It May Not Be Soon, Analyst Explains Why According to the chart, Dogecoin formed a rounded bottom with price dipping to approximately $0.08 before gradually recovering. The rally then carried the price to around $0.11, establishing the rim of the cup. Following that advance, the price began consolidating just below resistance, shaping the handle portion of the formation. This configuration is widely regarded as a bullish continuation setup, particularly when it forms within a larger accumulation structure. The handle reflects short-term profit-taking and controlled pullback. If price breaks decisively above the handle’s resistance level, the pattern typically projects a continuation move in the direction of the prevailing trend. Combined with the multi-year solid base structure on the monthly chart, the Cup and Handle adds a shorter-term trigger mechanism to the broader breakout narrative. Should resistance give way, the alignment of macro accumulation and classical continuation geometry would position Dogecoin for a move that, based on historical precedent, could extend dramatically higher and potentially validate the $2 target.
