Manchester, NH Project Greenstreets

Type: Program
Status: Established in 1981
Source File: http://www.manchesternh.gov/CityGov/PKS/programs/greenstreets.html
Description:
Project Greenstreets is a unique program that encompasses an array of urban forestry activities. Its mission is to improve the environmental quality of Manchester through the planting, care, and maintenance of many trees within the city parks, on school grounds, along streets, and at other city-owned properties. Project Greenstreets is administered by the Parks Department's Urban Forester.
Tree Planting
The tree-planting portion of the program has been very popular since it’s inception in 1981. The program is offered to Manchester residents to enhance our surroundings through the benefits that trees provide, including beautification, increased property values, air pollution reduction, shade and wildlife habitat. Funding for the program is met by a combination of tax dollars, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and tree sales. If you wish to purchase a tree, or if you would like some information about the program, contact the Urban Forester.

Maricopa County, AZ Waste Tire Recycling Program

Type: Program
Status: Launched in 2003
Source File: http://www.maricopa.gov/solid_waste/tires-1.htm
Description:
In 2003, there were over 5 million county owned tires stockpiled and millions more privately owned, stockpiled and illegally dumped around the county. The waste tires were rapidly growing and a potential health and environmental threat to the public. To resolve the impeding issue Maricopa County established a Waste Tire Recycling Program. The program provides an environmentally sound tire collection and disposal service to retail tire dealers and Maricopa County residents.
The primary customers of the Waste Tire Recycling program are waste tire generators and haulers, who collect the waste tires at local tire centers. Residents can dispose of their tires at any waste transfer station or tire recycling center. Other Arizona counties can dispose of their tires at one of our centers under a special agreement and/or contract with Maricopa County.
Since the program began, Maricopa County has recycled and reused over 20 million waste tires on new end products, such as new and improved roads and field turf. This reduces noise pollution, water consumption, and dust pollution in the process. Over 4 million residents annually benefit from the Waste Tire Recycling program, as the program helps protect public health, safety, community welfare and the environment.
The Waste Tire Recycling program is managed and operated under a 20 year contract with Crum Rubber Manufacturers of America to recycle and dispose of the daily influx of County residential and private waste tires, as well as tires stored at Waste Tire Collection Sites (WTS) throughout the County. The program adheres to the State of Arizona’s prohibition of landfilling and incinerating waste tires.

Marin County, CA Clean Energy

Type: Policy
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.marincleanenergy.info/
Description:
What is Marin Clean Energy?
Marin Clean Energy (MCE) is a plan to create a new green power agency in Marin County. Under MCE, Marin County cities and towns would form a Joint Power Authority which would buy renewable power collectively directly, while PG&E would continue to be responsible for the transmission lines, billing and other duties.
What are the benefits of Marin Clean Energy?
Marin Clean Energy would reduce Marin's greenhouse gas emissions by initially providing twice as much renewable power as we receive now. MCE would also increase price stability over the long term by decreasing our reliance on imported fossil fuels to generate our power. MCE will also fuel small, locally based green businesses. In addition, MCE would enable local decision-making over what kinds of power Marin utilizes.
How do I sign up?
Marin Clean Energy is currently being considered by each city and town in the county at public study sessions. You are welcome to attend these meetings and to participate in the public dialogue about the MCE choice. Following this public education period, each city and town council will vote on whether to participate. Any resident whose city or town joins the Marin Clean Energy JPA may opt out of green power and choose to stay with PG&E, but if their city or town does not join, they will not be able to join MCE.

===News from the Frontlines===
Visionary green political leader Marina Silva is running for President of Brazil — and has a real chance of winning.

While she was in the US, talks included the possibility of bringing Bioneers to Brazil, about which she was enthusiastic. The Bioneers arranged a meeting with her, Danny Glover and representatives from Amazon Watch and the Indigenous Environmental Network.
 
If Marina wins, it will be a game-changer for the global politics of sustainability and justice.

Marlboro College, VT Community Government

Type: Policy
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.marlboro.edu/community/government/
Description:
Community Government
According to its mission statement, Marlboro College "promotes independence by requiring students to participate in the planning of their own programs of study and to act responsibly within a self-governing community."
The college's community assembly is modeled on the traditional New England Town Meeting. All students, faculty and staff members may participate, each with an equal vote. The monthly assembly governs community life and serves as a forum for college-wide issues. Community sentiment figures heavily into administrative decisions, and Town Meeting representatives serve on a number of faculty and administrative committees, and represent the students at trustee meetings. Town Meeting distributes thousands of dollars to committee projects and student initiatives
Elected Town Meeting officers include nine Selectpeople, who call meetings and function as community leaders.
The community abides by a Community Constitution and Bylaws, documents that can be found in the Marlboro College Handbook and specify much of Town Meeting's authority and structure.
Check out the "background info" tab for a description of the Town Meeting process at Marlboro College.
