Mistral, located in the King of Prussia Mall, puts two farm-to-table veterans to the test

Sustainability in the Suburbs? by Danielle Corcione Mistral, pronounced MEE-strall, opened its doors at the King of Prussia Mall on March 1. Nestled between Neiman Marcus and Lord & Taylor, the brand-new restaurant has aspirations to farm-to-table fare, even if it’s an unlikely setting.

💧 Let’s rewind. This past Sunday afternoon, i 💧 Let’s rewind. This past Sunday afternoon, iPhone sirens blared and the following message flashed across the screen of hundreds of thousands of Philadelphians: “City of Phila recommends using bottled drinking water from 2PM 3/26/2023 until further notice for all Phila Water Department customers. Contaminants have not been found in the system at this time but this is out of caution due to a spill in the Delaware River.” What ensued were some of the scariest and most confusing few days in recent memory. Worried citizens packed into big-box and grocery stores alike, buying up all the bottled water, moving on to the Gatorade and triggering international media attention. Over the next 48 hours, officials within the Kenney administration regularly pushed out new messaging seeking to reassure city residents, saying there was no sign of contamination in the city’s water supply and moving back the timeline for when it could potentially arrive. Mostly, they were met with suspicion and scorn from all corners, including residents, media outlets and candidates seeking to replace Kenney in the mayor’s office later this year.

🎶 Attention: talented DU students - there is a 🎶 Attention: talented DU students - there is a 20k prize pool up for grabs! Participants in Anthems for the Anthropocene are challenged to create, perform, and record an original song that conveys a message about climate change to inspire and empower listeners!! 🎶 More info: Climate change has arrived and we are living through this crisis now. We feel its impacts in our health, our environment, our infrastructure, and our economy. It has implications for just about every facet of our daily lives. A warming climate means more summer heat, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and threats to human, animal, and plant communities around the world. The impacts of climate change are not distributed equally: Black and brown communities and the Global South bear the heaviest burdens even as their economies contribute far fewer greenhouse gas emissions per capita compared to the Global North. We need to muster all of our available tools to address this crisis: science, engineering, policy, diplomacy, communication, and, not least of all, artistic expression. We have learned that simply knowing climate change is accelerating is not enough to spur effective action, and that we must find ways to convey the urgency of climate action that reach our families, friends, and neighbors on a deeply personal level. Music has long been a way of inspiring reflection, action, and change. Can it generate climate action? We think it can. ABOUT THE CONTEST Participants in Anthems for the Anthropocene are challenged to create, perform, and record an original song that conveys a message about climate change to inspire and empower listeners. The strongest entries will feature both lyrics and musical composition that are creative, compelling, and entertaining. Participating bands and solo performers will be able to take advantage of skills workshops and drop-in guidance sessions on climate content during the span of the contest. Please visit drexel.edu/sustainability for a full list of competition rules. @drexeluniv #drexeluniversity #drexel #sustainability
