Grand Forks, ND Youth Commission

Type: Policy
Status: Initiated in 2007
Source File: http://www.grandforksgov.com/gfgov/home.nsf/Pages/Youth+Commission
Description:
Initiated in 2007, the Grand Forks Youth Commission serves to give a voice to young people and a means to interact with other young people to address specific issues that are on the minds of young people.
The Grand Forks Youth Commission meets once a month (Noon on the last Wednesday) in the Grand Forks City Council Chambers.
The Commission is developing a list of priorities for action items and also provides an informational update to the Grand Forks City Council the first Monday of each month.
Grand Forks Youth Commission Mission Statement
Understanding the importance of a focus on youth and the need for youth input in
our community, the Mayor’s Cabinet on Young People established in 2007 the
Grand Forks Youth Commission.
The Youth Commission exists to identify, promote, improve, increase and provide
services and programs for young people in Grand Forks. The Youth Commission is a
group of 24 young people between the ages of 14 and 18 who advise the Mayor’s Cabinet
on Young People and advocate to the community on behalf of youth. The Youth
Commission is a diverse group of youth representing many perspectives, ages and
backgrounds.
The Commission is an important way for youth to be actively involved in decisions of
community entities that affect youth. Youth Commissioners develop leadership skills,
encourage other young people to get involved, and voice the concerns and needs of our
young people.
The primary objectives of the Youth Commission are based on the Five Promises of America’s Promise:
* Caring Adults
* Safe Places
* A Healthy Start
* An Effective Education
* Opportunities to Help Others
Roles and Responsibilities:
* Meet with full committee as scheduled
* Meet with sub-committees as scheduled
* Promote dialogue with members of the school represented
* Compose Annual Report based on objectives and projects
* Select two representatives to sit with city council on a monthly basis
* Administer annual youth appreciation awards/recognitions
* Hold or co-sponsor youth summit to encourage

GreenPRO Online Launch

== Media/Press Release ==
=== Green Institute ===
3509 Connecticut Ave NW #730 
Washington, DC 20008
 
=== GreenPRO Online Launches ===
October 12, 2006
Washington, D.C. - After a period of development in-house, the Green Institute has brought on a software developer for multi-phase design and development of a state-of-the-art policy database system using the effective and popular “wiki” technology. It is called GreenPRO - Green Policy, Resolutions, and Ordinances. {Note: Updated to GreenPolicy360 to reflect outreach to green best practices globally} The database will be searchable and will provide text, links, and basic information on progressive policy, both proposed and implemented. 
Inclusion in the database will not indicate that the Green Institute endorses the specific ordinance or resolution, merely that it is a progressive policy that might well be of interest to policy-makers and activists. Policy advocacy of this type has been a successful tool of right-wing activists in recent years. The best known example is ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC focuses on state-level legislation and uses a generous budget to bring state legislators to conferences in attractive vacation spots, where they are “educated” on proposals that are preferred by ALEC. By contrast, GreenPRO will focus almost exclusively on local-level policy and will not involve any lobbying of legislators. 
While most other policy databases consist of lists of links on a website, our wiki system will be state-of-the-art. Wiki technology, popularized by the wikipedia encyclopedia, is an open source software system, meaning that no corporation owns it; it is in the public domain. It provides a system by which users can contribute content. Eventually, users will be able to add their own entries into GreenPRO, but each submitted entry will need to be accepted by an administrator before it can be posted for public viewing. The use of wiki in this database will make it one of the most advanced policy databases available, both for its user-friendly design and for the opportunities it affords people to contribute.

https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Stats_-_Green_Research_&_Science
GreenPolicy360 Supports Science
A central goal of GreenPolicy360 is to provide news of environmental and related political and economic initiatives, science and data.
As an eco-resource reporting developments within a wide range of environmental fields, GreenPolicy360 looks to facts and 'good' science.
Our site attempts to be an e-resource that features reporting that is factual and verifiable. We approach eco-questions and -challenges with a problem-solving perspective. 
In general, when considering questions of environmental risk, environmental security and action agendas, we advocate far-sighted approaches following the "precautionary principle".
When posting content to the GreenPolicy wiki community we urge focusing on facts and science as it endeavors to provide policy and political guidance. 
We recommend sites like the Stats science website among many online sources established to investigate claims made regarding environmental science and critical issues regarding climate change. 
Within the rainbow of reporting of green/environmental science and eco-news, we welcome fact-checking and reasoned discussion and debate.

Green Cleaning Initiative, Georgia Institute of Technology

Type: Policy
Status: Initiated in 2004
Source File: http://www.stewardship.gatech.edu/greencleaning.php
Description:
As early as 2004, Georgia Tech's Building Services launched a Green Cleaning Initiative to aid our sustainability approach, improve the environment, and quality of life for the Georgia Tech Community.
We introduced Oxy Orange, a citrus base product that includes peroxide, to replace all general cleaning chemicals. It has been tested and proven to kill germs, is cost effective, and is not harmful to humans, animals, or the environment.
Along with the Green Cleaning Initiative, Building Services has introduced the use of Micro-Fiber Rags, Dust Mops, Wet Mops, and Green Certified Equipment. They pick up dust and dirt and are machine washable. Georgia Tech operates its own in house laundry and replaced its residential washing machines that require 28 gallons of water with front load washers that require only 14 gallons of water to wash microfiber mops and rags.
We have Tennant vacuums and scrubbers that are being used in most campus buildings. They are Green Certified carpet shampooing machines and vacuum cleaners. The vacuums have triple filtration systems that pick up dust mites and other allergenic particles from the carpet, exceed HEPA requirements, and quiet operation. We have Green Certified back pack vacuums to clean corners and under desks. Scrubbers employ foam cleaning, which use up to 70% less water and 90% less chemical than traditional equipment.
Green Certified tile cleaners are used to clean the pool deck at the Campus Recreation Center.
Tech uses environmentally friendly hand soap, paper products, cleaning equipment, floor finish, stripper, carpet cleaner, garbage bags and towel dispensers.
Institute purchasing policies require vendors provide only green products. Also, product manufacturers, distributors, or a third party must offer training or training materials on the proper use of the product. Primary packing for the product must be recyclable.
Records show a decline in employee absentee rates from July 2006 to the present.
As we move toward making more of our campus buildings LEED certified and or registered, the Green Cleaning Initiative will definitely assist us in getting there.
Georgia Tech's Cleaning Services is part of the Operations and Maintenance Department within Facilities.

Wonder about the Future?
As we grapple with the present-day effects of climate change—and as we try to imagine what it’ll be like to live with its effects in the future—the future-making potential of the novel will increasingly be used to explore the role humanity plays in the story of our world, and to design possible future outcomes for both human and nonhuman life.

Green Mountain College, VT Student Campus Greening Fund

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.greenmtn.edu/about/environment/campus-initiatives.aspx
Description:
The Student Campus Greening Fund is a student-run program designed to help put into action greening initiatives that increase awareness and decrease the school’s ecological impact. Every GMC student contributes to the fund through a $30 allocation from the college activities fee. Students design projects and submit proposals, and awards are based on a student vote.
In the most recent funding round, five proposals received the full amount requested for a total of $28,988. The money will be used to construct a campus yurt, install additional bike racks, purchase outdoor recycling bins, use bio-diesel in campus maintenance equipment and upgrade the alternative energy systems that power the farm greenhouse.

Green Purchasing Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted in 2004
Source File: http://www.stewardship.gatech.edu/greenpurchasing.php
Description:
Georgia Tech has had a Green Purchasing Policy since 2004 and provides education to administrative and management personnel to support the policy.
In conjunction with a Green Purchasing Policy, Georgia Tech students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to reduce and reuse first. The "greenest" purchasing is often avoiding the use or consumption of items. One department on campus has cut the number of printers they have in half. This reduces energy, paper, equipment, and ink costs. Secondly, they make proactive efforts to not print. They have cut their printing levels and even set limits on the amount of printing allowed per student. Additionally, they have audited their printers and ensured that the printers they do have are the most energy and ink efficient. They recycle their print cartridges through their vendor's free recycling program. They recycle their toners through Tech's partnership with the Bobby Dodd Foundation.
We have proactively encouraged the purchase and use of Energy Star certified products since the early 2000's. An energy-efficient appliance purchasing policy will be implemented requiring the purchase of Energy Star products in all areas for which such ratings exist and are available under state purchasing contracts and regulations an one of Georgia Tech's Tangible Action Items under the President's Climate Commitment..
Georgia Tech has been buying green cleaning products since 2004 and has moved to Green Seal Certified paper products in our restrooms. For information on purchasing green cleaning products, contact Tommy Little, Judy Whitfield or Marcia Kinstler.
