Nelson, New Zealand Clean Heat Warm Homes Programme

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.nelsoncitycouncil.co.nz/environment/air_quality/clean-heat-warm-homes-main.htm
Description:
If you have to stop using your enclosed burner as a result of the Council’s Air Quality Plan, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Council’s Clean Heat Warm Homes Programme (CHWH).
Owners of enclosed burners
You are eligible for Clean Heat Warm Homes 'Pay as you Heat' if:
* your burner has to be phased out by the Council’s Air Quality Plan
* your burner is the main form of heating in the main living area
Click here to find out if your burner has to be phased out by the Council's Air Quality Plan.
Under the 'Pay as you Heat' scheme, the Council replaces your enclosed burner with a heat pump, or flued gas heater, or a pellet burner or a Council authorised woodburner (for large rooms), and upgrades your insulation.
You pay it back (interest free) over ten years as a targeted rate on your property as part of your rates bill. If you receive the Government Rates Rebate you do not have to make any repayment of the targeted rate for as long as you receive the rebate.
Clean Heat Warm Home's 'Pay as you Heat' is not available for:
* replacing burners in The Wood, The Brook, Nile St area, Atawhai, seaward side of the Port Hills, Todds Valley, The Glen and in the rural area. (Burners in these areas are not subject to compulsory phase-out rules);
* replacement of open fires;
* replacement of gas, oil, diesel or similar burners
* replacement of burners that are not the main heating source in the main living area of your house (eg chippies)
* homes that have already received financial assistance from the Council towards replacing their burner or fire.
Wetbacks (water heaters) are not covered under the CHWH programme but you can add a Council approved wetback at your own cost if you wish.
A condition of getting the CHWH 'Pay as you Heat' is that the houses’s insulation is upgraded. Where this is necessary the cost is covered in the work done, at competitive prices by the Clean Heat Warm Homes contractors.

New York, NY "PLANYC 2030" Climate Change Initiative

Type: Policy
Status: Established in 2006
Source File: http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/html/plan/climate.shtml
Summary:
In December 2006, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg challenged New Yorkers to generate ideas for achieving 10 key goals for the city's sustainable future. New Yorkers in all five boroughs responded. The result is the most sweeping plan to enhance New York's urban environment in the city's modern history. Focusing on the five key dimensions of the city's environment — land, air, water, energy, and transportation — we have developed a plan that can become a model for cities in the 21st century. The combined impact of this plan will not only help ensure a higher quality of life for generations of New Yorkers to come; it will also contribute to a 30% reduction in global warming emissions.

New York, NY Calling Upon Congress Not to Contract with Sweatshops

Type: Resolution
Status: Introduced on 3/20/00, but it died in committee
Source File: http://webdocs.nyccouncil.info/textfiles/Res%201240-2000.htm?CFID=1743430&CFTOKEN=43428814
Text:
Res. No. 1240
Resolution calling upon the United States Congress to introduce and adopt legislation requiring the federal government and its agencies to enter into contracts only with apparel and textile manufacturers who adhere to fair labor standards and pay their employees non-poverty wages.
Whereas, The Council of the City of New York finds that it is in the best interests of the United States to procure items of apparel and textile from responsible manufacturers that provide quality and service at the lowest price and provide a safe working environment for their employees; and
Whereas, After almost a century of progress in the struggle against sweatshops in the apparel and textile sectors, there has been a recent resurgence of such exploitative and abusive workplaces throughout the United States and around the world; and
Whereas, The federal government should not spend taxpayer monies in ways that encourage sweatshops in the apparel and textile sector to thrive; and
Whereas, The federal government should choose to allocate its purchasing dollars in order to enhance, rather than degrade, the economic and social wellbeing of people while at the same time assure the public that it is acquiring the maximum quality for the lowest possible cost; and
Whereas, Legislation that would require the federal government and its agencies to contract with responsible apparel and textile manufacturers who provide a safe, non-discriminatory work environment and compensate their employees with a non-poverty wage would reduce the number of sweatshops worldwide from being awarded such valuable contracts; now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Council of the City of New York calls upon the United States Congress to introduce and adopt legislation requiring the federal government and its agencies to enter into contracts only with apparel and textile manufacturers who adhere to fair labor standards and pay their employees non-poverty wages.

Res. No. 264
Resolution calling on the entertainment industry and retailers to enforce the ratings system for the sale of violent video games.
Whereas, The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has developed a system of ratings for video games based on their content and the appropriate age of the user; and
Whereas, The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has created an M rating for games considered too violent for use by minors; and
Whereas, A September 11, 2000 report entitled "Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of Self-Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording & Electronic Game Industries," found that the video game manufacturers and retailers consistently market M-rated games to minors, quoting FTC Chairman Robert Pitofsky as saying, "Companies in the entertainment industry routinely undercut their own rating restrictions by target marketing violent films, records, and video games to young audiences"; and
Whereas, A June, 2002 Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report entitled “Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: a 21-Month Follow-Up Review of Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording & Electronic Game Industries,” found that 69% of children under the age of 17 have been able to purchase games rated M; and
Whereas, A New York City Council investigation called “Parents Beware: Retail Stores Ignore Video Game Ratings,” released on December 7, 2003, sent youths under the age of 17 to attempt to purchase M-rated video games at 35 stores in New York City and found that:
:a) Only 9% of all stores targeted in the study asked minors to show proof of age when attempting to purchase M-rated video games; and
:b) A minor was able to purchase M-rated games 97% of the time, nearly 30% more frequently than reported by the FTC; and
Whereas, Many parents and anti-violence groups argue that the continued use of these video games increases aggression and propensity for violence in minors; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Council of the city of New York calls on the entertainment industry and retailers to enforce the ratings system for the sale of violent video games.

Type: Resolution
Status: Adopted on 11/15/06

Res 0504-2006
Recognize that human trafficking is a crime and to pass legislation criminalizing human trafficking and providing services and programs to trafficking victims.
Whereas, Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment and transportation of persons within or across boundaries by force, fraud or deception, for the purpose of exploiting them economically; and
Whereas, Human trafficking is a heinous crime which violates the human rights of its victims; and
Whereas, According to numerous reports, victims of trafficking most commonly work in sweatshops, restaurants and on farms, as well as in manufacturing trades, sex trades and as private domestic workers; and
Whereas; According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the United States State Department, 700,000 to 2 million people, the majority of whom are women and children, are trafficked each year across international borders; and
Whereas, The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) estimates that 18,000 to 20,000 people are trafficked into the United States each year and forced into labor or sex trades for little or no pay; and
Whereas, The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) estimates that human trafficking generates nearly $9.5 billion in annual revenue; and
Whereas, New York State’s ports, airports, rail stations and international borders all contribute to use of New York as a hub for trafficking, and as a result many of the victims live in the tri-state area; and
Whereas, While some of the conduct that traffickers engage in are addressed by penal law, there is currently no law that specifically makes human trafficking a crime in New York State; and
Whereas, In 2004, DOJ undertook a comprehensive Trafficking Task Force Initiative which included the drafting of a Model State Anti-Trafficking Statue, and the U.S. Senate subsequently passed a resolution endorsing this model statue and encouraging states to adopt it; and
Whereas, The model legislation seeks to expand anti-trafficking authority to states in order to harness the nearly one million state and local law enforcement officers who might come in contact with trafficking victims; and
Whereas, It is imperative that New York State address human trafficking in order to help prevent this terrible crime and alleviate the suffering of its victims; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Council of the City of New York calls upon the State of New York to recognize that human trafficking is a crime and to pass legislation criminalizing human trafficking and providing services and programs to trafficking victims.

New York University, NY Sustainability Task Force

Type: Policy
Status: Established in October 2006
Source File: NYU Sustainability
Description:
Sustainability Task Force
Structure
The full Task Force is made up of approximately 40 members, with the aim of representing as many key university constituencies as possible, while also seeking to draw upon participants with specific expertise or interest in environmental concerns. The Task Force includes graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, administrators, and staff; representatives from eight NYU colleges; and representatives from key student clubs, administrative departments, and university governance bodies.
The Task Force is co-chaired by Lynne P. Brown, Senior Vice President for University Relations and Public Affairs, and Alison Leary, Vice President for Facilities and Construction Management. A Project Administrator, Jeremy Friedman, works closely with its membership and subcommittees to coordinate efforts and accomplish sustainability goals.
History
The NYU Sustainability Task Force is a university-sanctioned advisory body made up of students, faculty and administrators representing constituencies from all over the campus.
The Task Force was established in October 2006, when Executive Vice President Michael Alfano announced the launch of a university-wide initiative that also included the creation of the Sustainability Fund and the largest purchase of wind energy by a US university.
Mission
The Sustainability Task Force was charged last year with conducting a comprehensive assessment of current practices; recommending a prioritized Green Action Plan to improve NYU's environmental footprint; engaging faculty, students and administrators in sustainability efforts; and developing a method to award funds for green projects
As the Task Force enters its second year, this mission has evolved; the group will be following up on past recommendations, taking stock of progress to date through a comprehensive Environmental Assessment and developing new projects and recommendations for NYU's future.
Accomplishments
In June 2007, the Task Force released its Annual Report, which included a comprehensive review of sustainability practices and achievements to date, as well as a set of 30 specific, practical recommendations for greening the campus. These recommendations encompass a wide range of operational areas and sustainability issues, and were submitted to the university leadership. The central administration recently launched five new initiatives which address many of the goals laid out in these recommendations.
The Task Force provides guidance and resources for implementing a variety of university projects (joining the PlaNYC Climate Challenge, organizing student outreach events, etc.)
