Pitzer College, CA Green Bike Program

Type: Program
Status: Established in 2001
Source File: http://www.pitzer.edu/student_life/gbp/about/
Description:
Founded by Pitzer College students in 2001, The Green Bike Program (GBP) provides Pitzer students with free loaner bikes, encouraging eco-friendly transportation around The Claremont Colleges.
Check out our video introduction, crafted as part of Pitzer's Residential Life Project promotional materials.
<youtube>TRFWBlNZ7gg</youtube>
The GBP was Crafted by Pitzer students Joey Haber, Gus Porter, and Fritz Rice, with support from Pitzer Professor Al Wachtel and Associate Dean of Student Affairs Chris Freeburg, and funding from Pitzer’s EcoCenter. The GBP began as an attempt to counter Los Angeles’ renowned car culture by encouraging people to use bikes, and by facilitating their accessibility for Pitzer students and their maintenance for the whole of the Claremont College Consortium.
At the end of each semester, Campus Safety confiscates abandoned bikes left on racks around campus. Usually, these bikes end up in a landfill; but thanks to the GBP, these bikes are refurbished and raffled off each semester at no charge. All students, staff and faculty from the 5Cs - not just GBP bike recipients - can bring their bikes to the shop for repairs.
The shop is currently located in the Holden Hall Basement (accessible from the Holden parking lot), but will eventually be moved to the loading dock of the Gold Student Center.

Plano, TX LEED Policy

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted on 1/8/07
Source File: http://www.plano.gov/Departments/Environmental+Services/GreenLiving/buildings/4policy.htm
Text:
As of January 8, 2007, a Citywide policy was adopted on sustainable building to demonstrate the City’s commitment to environmental, economic, and social stewardship, to yield cost savings to the City taxpayers through reduced operating costs, to provide healthy work environments for staff and visitors, and to contribute to the City’s goals of protecting, conserving, and enhancing the region’s environmental resources. Additionally, the City helps to establish a community standard of sustainable building.
The policy reads:
It shall be the policy of the City of Plano to finance, plan, design, construct, manage, renovate, and maintain its facilities and buildings to be sustainable. This applies to new construction and major remodels. The City will use the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system to determine what constitutes sustainable building by national standards. The City of Plano will require the highest level of LEED Certification possible for all city facilities.
LEED Certification points will be prioritized based on their ability to provide future energy savings, water conservation, waste reduction, and improved indoor air quality. Key factors to incorporate into the design include:
# Use of passive solar energy
# Natural lighting (day lighting) and adjustable lighting systems
# Highly reflective roof and building exterior
# Indoor Air Quality (low VOC materials and ventilation)
# HVAC energy performance and efficiency
# Use of on-site renewable energy
# Waste minimization (recycling, reducing, reusing)
# Water reclamation and conservation (rainwater harvesting, use of gray water, soil amendment, native or adapted landscape material, efficient irrigation system)
Return on investment will be considered when determining feasibility of implementing the above features.
While pursuing the highest level of LEED certification (certified, silver, gold or platinum) possible, the level will be determined by the points gained in incorporating the prioritized list of features into the design of the building. Decisions will not be based on including features just to gain additional LEED points.

Point Arena, CA Resolution on Corporate Personhood

Type: Resolution
Status: Adopted on 4/25/00 
Vote: In Favor - 4 Against - 1
Source File: http://www.mcn.org/e/iii/afd/resolute.htm
Text:
Resolution on Corporate Personhood in the City of Point Arena
Whereas,
* Citizens of the City of Point Arena hope to nurture and expand democracy in our community and our nation.
* Democracy means governance by the people. Only natural persons should be able to participate in the democratic process.
* Interference in the democratic process by corporations frequently usurps the rights of citizens to govern.
* Corporations are artificial entities separate and apart from natural persons. Corporations are not naturally endowed with consciousness or the rights of natural persons. Corporations are creations of law and are only permitted to do what is authorized under law.
* Rejecting the concept of corporate personhood will advance meaningful campaign finance reform.
Therefore be it hereby resolved that:
The City of Point Arena agrees with Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in his 1938 opinion in which he stated, "I do not believe the word 'person' in the 14th Amendment includes corporations."
Be it further resolved that:
The City of Point Arena shall encourage public discussion on the role of corporations in public
life and urge other cities to foster similar public discussion.
