How can Ace Living help NYC?

We believe in leading by example and setting a gold standard for businesses of the 21st century. We can no longer pretend that taking care of the planet shouldn't be a crucial part of every company's top priorities or even their top priority. By taking care of the Earth, we are taking care of people, and we are loving the place we live in. Ace Living can help NYC in several impactful ways, focusing on sustainability, community support, and public health.

  1. Environmental Initiatives
  • Plastic Reduction Campaigns: We only have one planet. Ace Living can help reduce plastic waste by offering a recycling or bottle-return program and using 100% green materials that are biodegradable and recyclable.
  • Support of Waste Reduction Initiatives: Eliminating waste in a city as large and complex as New York City involves a mix of individual actions, community programs, policy changes, and technology. Ace Living plans to support composting programs, support initiatives aiming at improving recycling paper, metal, glass, e-waste recycling, and textile recycling; support waste reduction education and community outreach; support city incentives and legislation; donate to food recovery and food donation programs; promote zero-waste programs in local businesses we work with.
  • Social Infrastructure, Safety Nets, Sanctuary Mentality, and Green Infrastructure: Ace Living was born out of NYC's generosity, starting with a generous scholarship from Columbia University that allowed a low-income, first-generation Latin hopeful to get a world-class education. When one of Ace Living's founders experienced domestic violence, NYC's safety net was ready to provide support through the Family Justice Center, the Housing Conservancy Coordinators, and the David Lynch Foundation. The city's green spaces were essential in their healing journey and continue to provide to every New Yorker. Ace Living plans to partner with the city on green spaces, water conservation projects, and tree planting to improve air quality and reduce urban heat.
  • Clean Water Projects: The Hudson River and the Harlem River are year-round respites of nature for New Yorkers. Trees lose their leaves and look a bit dead 25% of the year in NYC, but the rivers are new every day- a river is never the same- one cannot ever see or enter the same river twice. Ace Living plans to fund efforts to clean NYC waterways and support water conservation efforts that will continue to support healthier living for New Yorkers. Our waterways are in dire need of regeneration and healing.
  1. Community and Job Support
  • Job Training Programs: Ace Living plans to offer job training and skill development in communities with high unemployment. We aim to provide opportunities in logistics, marketing, and manufacturing to positively impact our communities and change lives- with zero emissions.
  • Support for Local Businesses: Ace Living is local, and it's a child of New York's hustle, grit, hope, collectivity mindset, and faith. We plan to partner with local cafes, restaurants, and bodegas for exclusive deals or cross-promotions, bringing more foot traffic and revenue to small businesses and, most importantly, spreading an uplifting message of the possibility of a company giving back as the top goal of our mission.
  1. Health and Wellness Campaigns
  • Nutritional Awareness Programs: Ace Living's Ace Hundred is a probiotic beverage that heals the gut, energizes, and supports healthy living. We plan to work with schools and community centers on initiatives promoting hydration, healthier choices, and dietary education- while making it delicious and refreshing.
  • Charity Drives: With one of our founders having once experienced homelessness, we understand underprivileged people are often in deep need of healing, grace, and support, and every small gesture makes a difference. Ace Living plans to donate water and our signature healthy beverages to shelters, food banks, and community centers. We plan to be particularly present in areas with less access to affordable, nutritious options.
  1. Public Events and Awareness Campaigns
  • Sponsoring Events: At Ace, we think big and have unshakable faith in the good and generosity in people. Human excellence is dialogue, cooperation, healthy habits, compassion, love, constant movement, and adaptation. Ace Living plans to sponsor marathons, public events, and cultural festivals, giving back to the community and helping boost local tourism and morale.
  • Educational Programs: Education is one of the primary keys to human potential and the main driver of progress in communities. Improvement and growth start with education and actions. Ace Living plans to collaborate with NYC public schools to create awareness around environmental and nutritional topics.

This approach allows the Ace Living Family to make a lasting, positive impact in NYC while spreading as far as possible an uplifting message (a business that donates 100% of profits to environmental conservation is possible!), strengthening our brand, strengthening other environmentally-driven brands, and building community goodwill.
