Too Much Stuff
200 hundred days w/o buying extra stuff
by Assya Barrette / an engineer and sustainability blogger at GreenHighFive.com who helps people learn how to live more environmentally sustainable lives
1) There is already too much stuff in the world. As I toured various thrift stores, online classifieds sections, Facebook buy/sell groups and the like, I was shocked to see the sheer volume of stuff we humans have already created. Mountains of clothes, tons of furniture, dishes, pans, walking sticks—an ocean of all things imaginable. As all of this stuff is being thrown away, more is being churned out. We don’t need more.
2) People buy things out of pure compulsion. As I looked to fill my needs through pre-owned sources, I was blown away by the amount of new items in thrift stores—items that were unused, complete with price tags and original packaging. Everything from new scented candles to new clothing graced the aisles of secondhand stores. Clearly, the act of buying is often completely disassociated with actual human need, or even want. It’s much more akin to a compulsion.
3) There is an unreasonable stigma against pre-owned items. As I blogged about my experience, I received a lot of interesting feedback on the hygienic aspect of my efforts. Many felt that buying clothing, furniture and other goods used instead of new was dirty and uncivilized. What a weird mentality! These same people would happily donate their used goods to thrift stores. I guess it’s good enough for the lower income among us—but not for “us.”
4) There is so much abundance. During my 200 days, I learned I didn’t need to go to big box stores to buy what I needed—there were plenty of resources in my own community. Our communities have an abundance of stuff and plenty of people willing to give it away at a very low price or for free.
5) When nothing is new, nothing is expensive. My bank account definitely got a break during these 200 days. Secondhand comes at a delightfully steep discount. And I never felt that I compromised on quality, either.
6) It’s awesome paying a person instead of a corporation. Especially when shopping through classifieds, I found that most sellers were honest and helpful. They were normal people just wanting to recoup a portion of their purchase price by selling perfectly usable items. It was refreshing to know that my money would be going directly to someone just like me, instead of a faceless corporation.
7) I don’t really need that stuff. Truth is, some things you simply cannot find preowned. Lots of items, even common ones, are either impossible or impractical to find pre-owned. When I was forced to not buy them—against my strongest impulses at times—I was surprised how nothing changed. Not my health, happiness or inner harmony. I realized that most things are really just “nice-to-haves;” real needs are generally more limited.
My 200 days was not only an optional experience in sustainable living and minimalism. It was a necessary and transformative journey.

Sunnyvale, CA Expenditure of Public Funds for Bottled Water Policy

Type: Policy
Status: Issued on 8/26/08
Source File: http://sunnyvale.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/6E1D2DED-896B-431B-B4FA-9A2AD3F82BF5/0/Policy7325.pdf
Text:
Policy 7.3.25 Expenditure of Public Funds for Bottled Water
POLICY PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to generally prohibit the purchase of single-serving bottled water,
with limited exceptions, and to limit the purchase of multi-serving bottled water to those City
facility locations where no feasible or reasonable alternative exists as required by law. This
policy is also meant to encourage environmentally responsible practices, such as reusing and
maintaining reusable containers for personal consumption of water.
POLICY STATEMENT:
The process by which bottled water is produced and consumed creates significant environmental
impacts. By limiting the amount of bottled water purchases in favor of ample, quality tap water,
the City demonstrates its commitment to environmental sustainability and sound fiscal policy,
and shows confidence in its water supply resources. It is therefore the policy of the Sunnyvale
City Council that no public funds should be used for the purchase of single-serving or multi-
serving bottled water, other than the following exceptions:
:1. Actual, imminent or highly probable/high risk public safety emergencies.
:2. To comply with any governmental regulations for the provision of potable water in adequate supply.
:3. Any other situations that arise where no other reasonable or practical alternative exists, as deemed necessary by the City Manager or his/her designee (such as offsite training as necessary or recreation/sports programs for children).
Nothing in this policy is intended to preclude employee-funded water clubs, or any bottled water
purchased from any source using private funds. However, employees and City representatives
are encouraged to use environmentally responsible practices for the personal consumption of
water.

Surfrider Foundation

SJS / GreenPolicy Siterunner:
Facebook / Oct 2015
Some of my friends might know about my green work in the 70s and 80s and some of my friends probably don't know about my friend Rob, Bird Legs, Coughlan and the beginning of the Surfrider Foundation, which now is doing Enviroaction around the world. 
The start up of the Surfiders was in Malibu, near my place there, but it was in Humboldt County in Northern Calif, near Arcata and Crescent City that the surfers got going w the first lawsuit to protect the water, a blue-green model that set in motion decades of environmental action. This isn't Sean Penn's Spicoli, but Sean and thousands of ocean protectors are involved.... greens everywhere ;-

Sustainable Buildings Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted in 2007
Source File: http://www.stewardship.gatech.edu/sustainablebuildingsoverview.php
Description:
Georgia Tech has one of the most advanced and forward-thinking documents in the college and university arena for environmental stewardship, sustainable design and energy management.
In 2007, Georgia Tech made an explicit policy that all new buildings and renovations will meet or exceed LEED Silver Design Standards.
The “Yellow Book” provides guidance to design and construction professionals who provide these services for Georgia Tech. LEED Silver has been our design standard since 2002.
In order to be a LEED building, renovation or retorfit, several requirements for sustainable design, construction, and operation must be met or exceeded.. Beyond that, the project must meet several point-earning credits selected from six categories—sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation and design process.
Georgia Tech also has or is finalizing:
* A Landscape Master Plan
* Irrigation Master Plan (Cisterns and Condensate Strategy Included)
* Updating the Parking and Transportation Master Plan
As of July 2008:
* Georgia Tech has 2 LEED certified buildings, with many more buildings built to LEED Silver Standards or renovated to LEED Silver Standards.
* Many buildings built prior to 2003 have been retrofitted to make them more sustainable.
* Overall, Georgia Tech has over 3,500,00sf of sustainable buildings.
* Six projects are currently LEED registered and targeting LEED Silver or Gold.

Purchasing and Policy
CAMPUS INITIATIVES
Purchasing and Business Guidelines
Since the 1990s, ASU has incorporated sustainable purchasing, business, and service practices into its policies. While these policies have had a positive impact on reducing ASU´s energy and water consumption and waste, the University is further developing its guidelines to be more comprehensive and up-to-date with the multitude of practical, sustainable technologies and practices that this institution can implement.
* No or low volatile organic compound (VOC) products have been specified for purchase for the past 10 years.
* All carpeting for purchase is specified as 100% recyclable.
* Liquid crystal displays, rather than cathode ray tube monitors, are specified for purchase.
* A 5% preference is given for purchasing recycled products.
* Recycled products, through ASU Stores and the office supply company, Staples, are stocked.
* All of the panel lights in outside vending machines have been turned off.
* Snack machines are located preferably inside buildings so that they do not require refrigeration.
* Vending contracts require the use of energy miser energy conservation devices.
* If an Energy Star product is available in any category, that product will be bought before any non-Energy Star certified product.
* LEED Silver certification for all new construction of University-owned and operated buildings.
* Non-recyclable engraved signs are being phased out and replaced with a changeable, recyclable/reusable sign system.
Contractor Provisions
The Living Wage Coalition at ASU has spearheaded the implementation of a Values Based Standard for Significant Business Relationships, which governs ASU´s relationships with contractors agreeing to a term of one year or more and employing 10 or more workers whose primary place of employment is at an ASU campus. In addition to mandatory contract provisions such as nondiscrimination, a safe and harassment-free work environment, and prohibition of controlled substances and weapons, contractors are asked to address several preferred provisions such as socially responsible wages, environmentally responsible practices, and employee education and training. Compliance with these preferred provisions may impact the evaluation and selection of University contractors.
