Houston, TX Million Trees + Houston

Type: Program
Status: Announced on 10/6/08
Source File: http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/press/20081006.html
Description:
Mayor Bill White and the Houston Parks Department today joined Trees for Houston, the Texas Department of Transportation, Houston’s Quality of Life Coalition, the Greater Houston Partnership and numerous others in announcing a collaborative effort – Million Trees + Houston -- to plant 1 million trees in the Houston area within the next five years and a corporate gift-giving program to help plant trees.
The trees will be planted by governmental, civic and business groups throughout the area. A dedicated website, http://www.milliontreesplushouston.org, which will be up in late October 2008, has been established by Trees for Houston to provide dynamic details and information on tree-planting progress and tree totals as the initiative progresses.
Houston’s urban forest is one of our city’s most valuable environmental assets. The city’s forest canopy (made up of street trees, park trees, and trees on public, private and commercial land) cleans our air, reduces pollutants, cools our city during the summer, increases property value, and encourages neighborhood revitalization. Also, planting the hardiest of our native trees serves as a buffer against high winds and helps reduce damage to surrounding properties. The initiative takes on more significance in the wake of Hurricane Ike, which has destroyed the number of old-growth trees in the area.
With the help of the Greater Houston Partnership, the corporate community also has engaged in this effort with a new Gift of Trees program, in which companies can donate esplanade trees on behalf of clients, customers and employees during the upcoming holiday season. For more information, visit http://www.treesforhouston.org. Deadline for ordering is November 15, 2008.
The Million Trees + Houston campaign planted a ceremonial tree on the Westcott at Prague Esplanade near Memorial Park. The esplanades show an example of what future esplanades could look like through the Million Trees campaign.

Humboldt State University, CA Compost Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.humboldt.edu/~recycle/compost_about.html
Description:
The Compost Program portion of CRP first began as an educational branch of the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT) and later expanded to being a component of CRP. The compost program provided and still provides the function of composting the organic wastes from the university cafeterias on campus. The history of the compost site itself has been one of impermanence. It was initially located on the CCAT grounds then moved to a nearby site and recently moved to its current but temporary location.
The Compost Program initially collected only the food waste generated by the on campus cafeterias. Over the years it has expanded to include the student club coffee tables and select high human traffic sites around the campus. The composting program currently composts all the pre-consumer waste from the two main dining halls on campus, the Depot and Jolly Giant Commons, along with diverting all the food waste from the five clubs operating coffee tables on campus, and providing the additional service of a food waste drop off site for students within the community.
This program aims to benefit the entire campus community not just through waste diversion but also by providing a place for students and community members to learn about composting. The educational opportunities include learning the basics of backyard composting to vermicomposting and troubleshooting and the larger environmental benefits associated with taking responsibility for ones own waste stream.

Illinois Federation of Teachers Resolution in Support of Civil Marriage

Type: Resolution
Status: Adopted in 2005.
Source File: http://www.ift-aft.org/forms/index3.aspx?TID=top132&CID=617&PID=44
Text:
RESOLUTION NO. 12
SUPPORT CIVIL MARRIAGE FOR LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS AND OPPOSE THE FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT
WHEREAS, while members of the Illinois Federation of Teachers have a variety of views about marriage, according to their personal or religious beliefs, it is a fundamental, uniting principle of our organization that all people are entitled to equal rights; and
WHEREAS, many of our members have participated over the years – both as union members and in their communities – in movements for equal rights for people of color, immigrants, women, people with disabilities, seniors, and others; and
WHEREAS, in doing so, we have often embraced movements for equal rights that were controversial at the time and that opponents of working people’s interests tried to use as wedge issues to divide our strength; and
WHEREAS, as a union, we have a particular responsibility to protect equal rights in connection with collective bargaining, economic benefits, legislation and any employer or government action that affects IFT members; and
WHEREAS, in that spirit, IFT has a long history of support for equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender workers; and
WHEREAS, we recognize that lack of access to marriage deprives gay and lesbian working families of more than 1,000 rights and benefits afforded heterosexual families, such as spousal Social Security and pension benefits, hospital visitation rights, spousal health insurance, immigration rights, and many other federal, state, and local protections, as well as rights in the workplace; and
WHEREAS, civil union and domestic partnership laws, while well-intentioned, create an unequal legal status for same-sex couples that extends only a few of the state and local-level protections and benefits afforded “spouses” in heterosexual marriage; therefore be it
RESOLVED, that this convention affirms the Illinois Federation of Teachers’ commitment to equal rights for all our members, regardless of sexual orientation; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the IFT make it a collective bargaining and legislative goal to ensure that all members enjoy equal rights and benefits; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the IFT support the right of same-sex couples to access the full and equal rights, responsibilities, and commitment of civil marriage and oppose laws and constitutional amendments that deny that right; and be it finally
RESOLVED, that the IFT resist any attempt by anti-worker forces to use this issue to divide working people in order to elect candidates with proven track records of favoring corporate special interests at the expense of working families.

Illinois State University "Reggie Ride" Program

Type: Program
Status: Launched in 2008
Source File: http://www.greenteam.ilstu.edu/initiatives/reggie_ride.shtml
Description:
Every year the Grounds Department collects upwards of 100 or more bikes that students leave behind when they move out. In the past, bikes that were not claimed after a year were donated for auction. This year is different. With the help of an ISU student, who is also a Vitesse bike mechanic, we were able to select 25 bikes to paint and repair for use in Reggie Ride. The goal of the program is to provide members of the ISU community with more alternative transportation options on campus. 
REGGIE RIDE provides FREE bicycle use to ISU students, faculty and staff. All you need is your ISU Student ID or Faculty/Staff ID. Bikes are available in a variety of sizes. All bikes are equipped with a bike lock. Bicycle helmets are not provided but are recommended. Bikers must follow all state and local bicycle laws. 
Red Bike Check-out
Students, faculty and staff can check bikes out at the Bowling and Billiards Center. Sunday – Thursday bikes may be rented for 24 hours. Friday and Saturday, bikes may be rented for 48 hours. As there are a limited number of bikes, they are available to rent on a first come, first serve basis. 
Departmental White Bikes
In an effort to reduce traffic on campus during work hours and to encourage healthy, active lifestyles, a departmental bike rental program is being piloted. Departmental White bikes are available at select buildings on campus. Each bike is equipped with a basket and lock. 
There are currently 11 bikes in the departmental pilot. 
As the program grows and bike usage per building is evaluated, more bikes may be available in the spring semester. If your department is interested in participating please email The Green Team.
* Reggie Ride is a collaborative effort of Facilities Management, the College of Applied Science and Technology, the Dean of Students office, the University Health Education Coordinating Committee, and the Green Team.

Illinois State University Integrated Pest Management Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.greenteam.ilstu.edu/initiatives/grounds/pest.shtml
Description:
At ISU several methods of lawn care pest management are used based on the location, use, and needs of the campus. Because of our size and diverse usage, no one management program can be used for the entire campus. We are strong believers in using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for control of pests on campus and have been for almost two decades.
IPM can best be defined as a pest control program that uses several types of control methods that have little effect on man, non-target organisms, and the environment while keeping pests from reaching an economic injury level. The goal of IPM is to use a balance of various control techniques rather than relying solely on the use of pesticides. These include scouting to identify pests, manual removal of pests where appropriate, and establishing a tolerance threshold for pests. The proper and judicious use of pesticides is also part of the IPM approach.
On the campus of Illinois State University an IPM program is used on approximately 70% of the campus. The other 30% of campus which is treated as high maintenance areas, like the Athletic Fields, pesticides are used in different degrees depending on use and time of year.
Grounds Management made the decision several years ago not to use any organophosphate insecticides for exterior turf management on the campus.
