Stephen Crivillaro - Labor History

Stephan Crivillaro majored in Labor Studies as a student at Queens College, and learned a great deal about the role of organized labor in American industry, and the of the dynamics of between and management relations.

He also learned a great deal about the history of organized labor. Before enrolling in the Labor Studies curriculum, Stephen Crivillaro always thought that labor unions had their origins in the twentieth century. But it was really in the mid- to late-1800s that the initial efforts to organize workers into units of collective bargaining began to make headway. Prior to that, most American workers worked ten hour shifts for six days at week, and that was the original goal of most organized labor: winning an eight hour day, five days a week, and at a reasonable wage.

During the early days of labor and its attempts to organize, there was disagreement on what the common goals should be. But the length of the work day and week were generally agreed upon. After some success with shorter days and work weeks, some workers, Stephen Crivillaro learned, adopted extreme ideas such as Marxism. Others were content to bargain collectively for small increases in their hourly wage, and a few benefits. But he saw that organized labor had, as a group, brought tremendous change to the workforce in America, and most of it for the better. Today most Americans enjoy higher wages, better hours, and improved working conditions, and in many instances employers pay for medical coverage and a couple of weeks of vacation each year.

Stephen Crivillaro – Dealing With E-Waste

Stephen Crivillaro is a longtime advocate of alternative energy resources, including Municipal Solid Waste. He says that turning our trash into energy is arguably the best way there is to manage the approximately 230 tons of trash that is produced in the United States each and every year. Many of the existing landfills in the United States are full, and/or are believed to be a contributing factor to contaminated groundwater. But the trash keeps piling up, he says, so it is important to find a creative solution for dealing with it. And turning it into energy might just be the best method.
Stephen Crivillaro is also urging people to think of creative ways to deal with what is called e-waste, or the disposal of electronic devices like old computers and cell phones. He says that this material should not be considered waste, but instead should be considered something that can be re-used or recycled for materials recovery. Recent figures show that only about one quarter of the old TVs, computer products, and cell phones were collected for recycling. And he says that is a number that needs to improve.

Stephen Crivillaro – Superstorm Sandy

https://stephencrivillaro.wordpress.com/2015/02/25/stephen-crivillaro-superstorm-sandy/

Stephen Crivillaro is a native New Yorker who was among the first to swing into action after Superstorm Sandy devastated much of his hometown, as well as the Eastern Seaboard and beyond, in the fall of 2012.

He recalls how badly New York was affected by the late-season hurricane, which began in Jamaica before working its way up the Atlantic toward New Jersey and New York. The costs of the storm have been estimated as high as fifty billion dollars, says Stephen Crivillaro. More than one hundred homes were destroyed in the Breezy Point area of Queens, when the storm touched off an overnight fire. Thousands of flights were cancelled at the three main airports serving New York, which were closed for two days.

Superstorm Sandy produced a record storm surge of water in New York, as Stephen Crivillaro remembers all too well. The surge surpassed 13.8 feet in Battery Park, more than four feet higher than the previous record water level caused by Hurricane Donna in 1960. New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials says the Sandy caused the worst damage in the 108 year history of the city's subway system. Flood waters also damaged the city's electrical systems, including the one that powers Wall Street. Millions of people were left without power.

The storm even had an impact on the 2008 presidential campaign. President Barack Obama joined New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to inspect the storm's impact and declared states of emergency in New York and New Jersey, and Republican candidate Mitt Romney cancelled his own political rallies and turned one appearance into a "storm relief" fundraising event.

All told, 285 people lost their lives to Superstorm Sandy, including 125 people in the United States.

As a native New Yorker and a successful green energy consultant, he is committed to giving back to his community. He has been a supporter of BOLD, the Bronx Organization for the Learning Disabled. He has been active in BOLD programs that provide assistance to people who are coping with a range of disabilities. 

As he knows, BOLD is approved by the New York State Department of Education to provide special education services to preschoolers in the three to five age range. It is also accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, a voluntary system that sets professional standards for early childhood education programs.

Stephen Crivillaro has always known of the importance of charitable giving and supporting worthy causes. He understands that such activity is not only a benefit to those who are in need, but also because it can provide people with a chance to develop a better understanding of the community in which they live.

He says that we all have a choice when it comes to giving back to the community. There are organizations that focus on the needs of homeless people, and organizations that raise funds to fight diseases such as breast cancer. And there are those organizations that are especially close to his heart, because they raise funds in support of environmental issues like clean water and renewable energy. They all have a place, and Stephen Crivillaro urges his friends and colleagues to support those causes that mean the most to them.

Stephen Crivillaro - Waste to Energy

Stephen Crivillaro majored in Labor Studies at Queens College in New York, and has worked as a green energy consultant. He is particularly interested in renewable energy sources such as waste to energy. Separated municipal solid waste, he says, is defined as material that has been separated from yard waste or food waste and can be converted to energy.


Stephen Crivillaro became a green energy consultant not long after graduating from Queens College in New York. His consulting work took him as far away as Mumbai, India, where he was associated with a waste to energy unit that he says shows great promise. He has done similar consulting in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Stephen Crivillaro on the Future of Waste Management

Stephen Crivillaro is a young entrepreneur who has made a name for himself in the real estate industry in the Bronx. However, many people do not realize that Stephen Crivillaro is also a visionary in the field of waste management.

A New Use for Human Waste
For a long time, the waste that humans create has been seen as a necessary part of civilized life. This waste sits in landfills where it festers indefinitely. Stephen Crivillaro has a new vision for how that waste should be handled. In fact, Stephen Crivillaro believes that he can solve both the human waste crisis and the world’s energy crisis with one simple strategy: reform waste management.
Stephen Crivillaro has spent extensive time in India and Germany, piloting a new way to convert waste materials into energy. This relatively simple process takes the waste that humans produce and converts it into energy that people can use to power their everyday lives.
The solution that Stephen Crivillaro has developed is great for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it solves the issue of what to do with the waste once it has been created. Second, it serves as a new and completely sustainable energy source that can be harvested as long as human beings continue to generate waste.
Although Stephen Crivillaro has not yet brought this exciting method to the United States of America, he says that it is “only just a matter of time” until he is able to do so. Stephen Crivillaro believes that this program will do incredibly well in the United States and will change the way energy is generated here.
Stephen Crivillaro encourages everyone to imagine a world in which there is no waste and all energy that is used has been generated using only the most sustainable methods. That is the world that Stephen Crivillaro hopes to create with his new waste management technique.







A Novel Concept for a New International Consultant - Stephen Crivillaro

Stephen Crivillaro has made a name for himself as a young entrepreneur who lives and works in the great city of New York. Although many know Stephen Crivillaro for the work that he has done in the real estate industry in the Bronx, very few people truly understand the wide radius of his influence.

Despite his young age, Stephen Crivillaro has made a major mark in the energy and waste management industry. Stephen Crivillaro is an international consultant for waste management and energy generation.
A Novel Concept
The concept, says Stephen Crivillaro, is simple. Human beings produce far more waste than they need to, while also consuming an enormous amount of energy.  Stephen Crivillaro has a phenomenal idea for how to address this issue.
https://soundcloud.com/stephen-crivillaro

Stephen Crivillaro believes that he may have found the secret to converting the waste that human beings generate into viable sources of consumable energy. Stephen Crivillaro believes that this system will “kill two birds with one stone.” With less waste festering in landfills and other locations and more energy, the world will be a brighter, greener place. Plus, this system is entirely sustainable.
Taking It Overseas
Stephen Crivillaro had the privilege of consulting a number of international locations on this new and exciting idea. Just recently, Stephen Crivillaro traveled extensively throughout India and Germany to show engineers in those countries just how viable this idea is. Stephen Crivillaro believes that he has made a strong impact on the energy policies of other countries.
Stephen Crivillaro strongly believes that he has unlocked the cure to the world’s waste and energy crises. In fact, Stephen Crivillaro believes that this technology may be coming to the United States of America in the near future. Stephen Crivillaro says that solving the world’s energy issues is as easy as looking at waste as a resource instead of a burden.

Waste, and especially what is called Municipal Solid Waste, or MSW, is showing a lot of promise as a source of renewable energy in the United States and elsewhere. Stephen Crivillaro says that Municipal Solid Waste means trash, the sort of things that people throw away every day in the Western world, such as product packaging, food scraps, and household items such as worn out furniture. 

He says that MSW is made up of many different materials, and that a lot of it has value in both economic, energy, and environmental terms. He says that there are preferred ways to manage this material, and that communities across the country have to find a way to balance management options that are environmentally friendly, with those that are economically feasible.
