Peninsula School District, WA Deskside Recycling Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.peninsula.wednet.edu/conservation/Recycling/deskside.htm
Description:
The average volume of paper that is discarded at the Peninsula School District Educational Service Center, Information Services, and Transportation/Maintenance complex is about 1.5 pounds per person, per day or about one ton a month. This includes mail, copier misprints, multiple drafts of documents at computer printers, newspapers, and other internal and incoming correspondence.
In order to reduce the cost to the District for hauling the paper to the dump and the cost to the environment when we throw wastepaper in the landfill, a program of Deskside Recycling is being implemented in the District’s administration and support services facilities.
The Program
A set of individual plastic recycling bins has been distributed to each desk or work area. Which bins you have depend on the types of recyclables that you have and the amount of space available. Most desks get a white paper bin and a mixed paper bin. Bins will be emptied by our recycler at least once a week.
Please use the instructions below as your guide to Deskside Recycling.
White Paper (White Bins)
Includes: business forms, stationery, letterheads, Xerox copies, bond paper, laser print, adding machine tapes, and small amounts of computer printout.
Not acceptable: carbon paper, cardboard, plastics, tablet bindings, labels, food wrappings, colored paper, magazines, telephone books, newspaper, NCR paper (self-carboning paper), Post-it notes, coated, slick, glossy, waxed paper, or ream wrappers.
Mixed Paper (Blue Bins)
Includes: magazines, catalogs, blueprints, NCR paper, envelopes, colored paper, photographic papers, labels, small amounts of newspapers, cardboard, Post-it notes, glossy, slick, coated, fax paper, or phone books. Most envelopes should be in mixed paper.
Not acceptable: food-contaminated paper products, carbon paper, heavily waxed drinking cups, styrofoam and Kleenex.
In most cases, paper clips, staples, and rubber bands need not be removed. Post-it notes, however, are mixed paper and must be removed from white or computer printout paper.
Cardboard
No wax-coated cardboard can be recycled. Staples and tape are acceptable in moderate amounts. Small quantities can be picked up with your mixed paper. Boxes and other cardboard should be flattened and placed in a neat pile outside the back ESC door, on the Info Services porch, or in the "cardboard only" dumpster.
Aluminum
All empty aluminum cans should be placed in the receptacle in the break room.

Penn-Delco School District, PA Paper Recycling Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.pdsd.org/Schools/Documents/Recycling%20Web%20Page%20(2).htm
Description:
Community Participation is Encouraged!
Penn-Delco has joined the Paper Retriever Program of Abitibi-Consolidated and is now able to recycle paper, newspapers, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, weekly advertisement circulars, construction and poster paper, shredded paper, as well as spiral notebooks and workbooks!
The main goal of this program is to be more proactive and attentive to the environmental beneﬁts of recycling paper. We want our students to learn and experience the importance of conservation and the impact we have on our world. Secondly, our schools will be able to utilize this program as a fund-raiser as well. Each of our schools will earn money based on the number of tons of paper collected each month.
To truly maximize the potential of the paper-recycling program, we welcome the community to get involved. You can help to foster our goal of environmental stewardship, as well as assist with our fund-raising, by bringing your paper and dropping it off in our yellow and green paper-retriever dumpsters. All of our dumpsters are located on the side or rear of each school. It is easy to get started - just place an empty box near your trash can at home, collect paper, and drop it off at one of our school dumpsters each week.
Every time our dumpster is full, our school saves 17 trees from being cut down!
Estimates indicate that over 2.2 million cubic yards of landﬁll space is saved each year nationally as a result of Abitibi’s program!
If dropping off shredded paper: please put it in a plastic bag, knot it, and put a hole in the bag to let out the air trapped inside.
If dropping off workbooks: please take off the front and back hardcover - the metal spiral may remain intact. You do not need to remove staples from the paper.

Petaluma, CA "Build It Green" Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://cityofpetaluma.net/cdd/big/whatispbig.html
Description:
What is Petaluma Build It Green
Petaluma Build It Green is a voluntary, points-based program designed to stimulate and support green building in Petaluma. The program is designed around the Green Building Guidelines developed by Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Build It Green for New Homes, Remodels and Multi-family Construction, which offer suggestions for conserving natural resources, using water and energy wisely, improving indoor air quality, and planning for livable and vibrant communities. Building with these measures helps to create healthy, durable homes that reduce environmental impacts and cost less to operate and maintain.
Green building measures that are incorporated into a building project can earn “Green Points.” These Green Points are calculated and documented by independent, third-party Green Points Raters, who submit an application for Green Points Rating to the Petaluma Build It Green program (at the City’s Permit Counter), on behalf of the building owner/developer.
Building that achieve at least 50 Green Points (with a minimum number of Green Points earned in various categories), will be eligible to become GreenPoint Rated, earning a Petaluma Build It Green certificate, and reference in the City’s web pages. For the first five GreenPoint Rated buildings in each building category (such as new home, remodel, new commercial, commercial renovation) the City will also issue a commemorative plaque and a press release.
How can we learn more about Green Building and the Petaluma Build It Green program?
To promote the Petaluma Build It Green program and to introduce green building to the general public, the City’s Green Team and its community partners will be offering a variety of public presentations and workshops, geared both for building professionals and the general public. Information about these workshops and related events will be advertised via inserts in the City’s water bills over the summer months, in print advertisements in the Argus Courier and Press Democrat newspapers, and in TV ads and Public Service Announcements (paid for by corporate sponsors).
When will the Petaluma Build It Green Program be launched?
The program will officially be launched in October, 2006. For a preview of activities, please click here.

Philadelphia, PA Moratorium on Residential Foreclosure Sales

Type: Resolution
Status: Adopted on 3/27/08
Source File: http://webapps.phila.gov/council/attachments/5009.pdf
Text:
Resolution No. 080331
Calling on Sheriff John Green and President Judge C. Darnell Jones to impose a moratorium on residential foreclosure sales in Philadelphia.
WHEREAS, According to ACORN’s October 2007 “Foreclosure Exposure 2:
The Cost to our Cities and Neighborhoods” report, 3,206 of the high-cost loans made in
2006 in the Philadelphia area are likely to go into foreclosure and the costs to all of the
stakeholders involved will be more than $345 million; and
WHEREAS, These costs represent approximately $23 million to individual
homeowners in foreclosure, $158 million to lenders and investors, $62 million to local
government, and $107 million in lower home values of neighbors; and
WHEREAS, The ACORN report also states that studies have shown that
foreclosures increase violent crime in neighborhoods, decrease property values in
neighborhoods, and reduce city tax revenue, making it harder to provide good schools,
police protection, code enforcement, and other services; and
WHEREAS, This current foreclosure crisis is greater than the 1983 epidemic,
when during an economic recession, Sheriff Joseph Sullivan obtained from President
Judge Edward Bradley a one year stay of approximately 300 monthly foreclosures sales;
and
WHEREAS, In 2004 and in response to a then record high monthly foreclosure
sale of 1,120 properties, Sheriff John Green, received a stay from President Judge
Fredericka Massiah-Jackson of all residential foreclosure sales in Philadelphia during a
period of time in which the PA Secretary of Banking conducted a state-wide foreclosure
study; and
WHEREAS, And to support this action, Council unanimously passed Resolution
No. 040100, which formally stated its support of Sheriff John Green in asking President
Judge Massiah-Jackson to impose a moratorium on residential foreclosure sales in
Philadelphia; and
WHEREAS, It is the duty of this Body to protect the citizens and the
neighborhoods of Philadelphia, and this Body has already gone on record to address this
issue by unanimously passing Bill No. 010715-A and holding hearings pursuant to
Resolution No. 080095; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA,
That we hereby call on Sheriff John Green and President Judge C. Darnell Jones to
impose a moratorium on residential foreclosure sales in Philadelphia.
FURTHER RESOLVED, That an Engrossed copy of this resolution be
transmitted to Sheriff Green and President Judge Jones.

Pierce County, WA Instant Runoff Voting

Type: Charter Amendment
Status: Passed by voters on 11/7/06
Source File: http://www.co.pierce.wa.us/xml/abtus/ourorg/aud/Elections/Archives/gen06/vp.pdf
Summary:
Official Ballot Title: The Pierce County Charter Review Commission has proposed an amendment to the Pierce County Charter implementing instant runoff voting for County elected officials except judges and Prosecuting Attorney. Voters will rank candidates in order of preference at the general election. No primary election will be held. Candidates for partisan office must obtain 25 voter signatures to qualify for the ballot. Major political parties may determine which candidate may use the party label. Shall this Charter Amendment be approved?
Explanatory Statement: Currently the Pierce County Charter provides that nominating primaries of all partisan offices shall be conducted in accordance with state law. Proposed Charter Amendment 3 provides that election of all county officials, except judges and the Prosecuting Attorney, shall be conducted using instant runoff voting. All qualifying candidates would appear directly on the general ballot, eliminating publicly financed primaries for affected county level offices.
This proposed Amendment gives voters the option of ranking candidates in order of preference. Instant runoffs would be conducted in rounds. In each round, each voter’s ballot shall count as a single vote for whichever continuing candidate the voter has ranked highest. The candidate with the fewest votes after each round shall be eliminated until only two candidates remain. The candidate then receiving the greatest number of votes being elected. The Amendment would require that to qualify for the ballot for partisan office, a candidate shall file with the auditor, no later than the end of filing week,
petition statements supporting the candidacy with the original signatures of at least 25 qualified voters. It would also provide that the county central committee of each major party may determine which candidates may use their party label.
