Traverse City, MI Marijuana Decriminalization

Type: Resolution
Status: Adopted on 12/5/94
Source File: (Missing)
Description:
December 6, The Record Eagle reported: 
City Commissioners will ask the state Legislature to make it legal for cities to decriminalize the use of small amounts of marijuana. 
Commissioners passed a resolution... addressing the issue of William Bustance, president of the Traverse City chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. 
In the summer, Bustance and other members of NORML had circulated petitions asking the commission to put the question of decriminalizing the use of less than an ounce of marijuana to a public vote. 
On advice of city attorney W. Peter Doren, commissioners took no action on the petitions, even though enough signatures had been collected to place the issue on the Nov. 8 ballot. 
Doren advised commissioners that it would be illegal for them to enact a law contrary to state law. State law prohibits cities from decriminalizing controlled substances, including marijuana.
 
This legal quandary led the Traverse City to pass a resolution stating in part: 
A Resolution Memorializing The Governor And The Legislature Of The State Of Michigan To Remedy State Policies In which Inhibit And Prevent Local Governments In Creating Ordinances That Make Small Amounts Of Marijuana A Civil Infraction 
[The bill which prohibits cities from invoking Home Rule privileges regarding controlled substances] ... has created a inequity in the Home Rule Act by allowing the City of Ann Arbor to keep in their charter a civil infraction law for small amounts of marijuana and by not permitting the citizens of Traverse City the opportunity to place a similar ordinance on the ballot before the voters [emphasis added]. 
[Ibid.] ... has created the threat and expense of litigation to the City of Traverse City ... 
The National Drug Control Strategy calls for the empowerment of communities however, the very spirit of the community is threatened by the [prohibiting state law], that denied ballot access to a Certified Initiatory Petition in Traverse City [emphasis added].
The Commission resolved to "memorialize the State of Michigan and it's officials ... to investigate and hold public hearings into state policies which prohibits placing a [certified petition] on the ballot that would make a civil infraction for small amounts of marijuana ..."
[For more information on the Traverse City initiative to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana, contact William Bustance of Traverse City NORML, 616-264-9565.]

Trinity College of Ireland Policy on Sustainable Development

Type: Policy
Status: In effect
Source File: http://www.tcd.ie/about/policies/sustainable-development.php
Text:
TCD is an important part of third level education and research in Ireland and abroad. College properties comprise a significant and integral part of the Dublin conurbation. As an educational institution it has a role in and a responsibility to society to promote sustainable development1 throughout its activities. This means that teaching, research, services and administrative operations should be conducted in a manner that protects and enhances the environment, conserves natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and supports the community and society as a whole. This policy applies across all parts of the College.
Within the resources available to the College from time to time TCD is committed to:
* Balanced development with regard to the environment, economy and society
* Managing its campuses in a manner that protects and enhances the local and global environment by establishing quantitative goals for environmental performance
* Developing its buildings and services with due consideration for the environment using life cycle analysis2
* Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
* Promoting intelligent resource use, namely sustainable transport use, minimisation and reuse of products, environmentally preferable procurement, recycling of waste streams, energy management and water conservation
* Incorporating the principle of sustainable development into the teaching, training and research activities of the College as far as possible
* Continuous environmental improvement and pollution prevention throughout its activities
This policy will be actively communicated and promoted to staff and students, and progress and implementation reviewed on an ongoing basis. The policy should be subject to a comprehensive review at least every five years.
----
1 Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland G (ed) Our Common Future: The World Commission on Environment and Development, Oxford University Press, 1987). 
2 Life cycle analysis is a technique for assessing the impact on health, environment, and resources of a product throughout its whole life cycle. The objective of a life cycle analysis is to assist in optimising the value of a construction project over its lifetime, having regard to all the direct and indirect project costs.

Trinity College of Ireland Recycling and Environment Committee

Type: Policy
Status: Established in 1993
Source File: http://www.tcd.ie/GreenPages/recylingcommittee.php
Description:
The College Recycling and Environment Committee (CREC), founded as the College Recycling Committee by the late Professor Simon Perry, has been in existence for more than a decade now with recorded minutes on file since 1993. The CREC provides a forum for discussion of general environmental issues in College with particular emphasis on recycling behaviours.
Aims
* Increase volume of recycling in College
* Examine recycling options within the principles of sustainability
* Assess the effectiveness of current recycling facilities
* Examine present barriers to practicing environmental behaviours
* Monitor the current level of environmental education in College
* Identifying additional avenues for practicing environmentally friendly behaviours (e.g. additional recycling streams, energy conservation etc.)
* Collate up-to-date information on state-of-the-art 'green' products
* Keep abreast of developments in legislation and evaluate College plans to meet future targets
Goals
* Meet on a regular basis
* Compile written recommendations for enhancing environmental practices in College
* Maintain and increase the level of commitment to Green Week
* Actively encourage discussion on and participation in sustainable activities in College
History
The CREC (formerly the CRC) has been in existence for more than a decade now with recorded minutes on file since 1993. While the aims of the group have always been guided by the fundamental principles of environmental sustainability, the main focus of the group's work has been on issues relating to recycling.
Across all sectors of College, people have contributed their particular expertise over the years to promote a culture of environmental consciousness within the institution.
As environmental legislation changed over the years the focus has shifted from voluntary activity to formalised requirements for College to meet recycling standards set outside the confines of the institution.
An example of this is the recycling of batteries. In the past members of the group personally collected and delivered the batteries to the recycling facility whereas now we have a battery collection service formalised within College structure.
Changes like this have provided for an opening-up of the spectra of interest options for the group.
Past Issues of Interests and Activities of the Group include:
* Drafting of College Sustainability Policy Document in 2007
* Use of Polystyrene cups
* Battery collection and safe disposal
* Paper and Cardboard
* Bottle and Can banks
* Composting
* Waste compaction
In addition to these areas the group has been involved in planning and overseeing various activities during the annual Green Week.

Tucson, AZ "Livable Tucson"

Type: Policy
Date: Initiated in 1997
Background: During the spring and summer of 1997, three public forums were held in each ward to engage the community in identifying a common vision and strategies for achieving a sustainable community. In addition to these ward forums, additional forums were held in the fall targeting businesses, youth, and Spanish speakers. An Internet site also gave citizens the opportunity to contribute their priorities, and City Council offices had bulletin boards for community input. Based on the thousands of comments that the community made, seventeen (17) key goals emerged. These goals embody the values and aspirations of the community to maintain and improve Tucson in the future. The next phase of the Livable Tucson Vision Program involved holding six workshops in the spring of 1998 to develop indicators of progress towards each of the 17 goals. Taken together, the indicators will form a community report card. For the latest Livable Tucson information, including a listing of the goals and indicators, visit the city's Web page at www.ci.tucson.az.us/livable.html.
