Deep Ecology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_ecology
The Deep Ecology school of thought provides a foundation for the environmental, ecology and green movements and has fostered a system of environmental ethics advocating wilderness preservation, human population control and simple living.
The phrase "deep ecology" was coined by the Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss in 1973.
Deep Ecology would support the view of Aldo Leopold in his book A Sand County Almanac that humans are "plain members of the biotic community". Deep Ecology proponents also would support Leopold's "Land Ethic": "a thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."

Description:
B.E.E.P. (Breast Education and Early-detection Project)
Focusing on Breast Health Education and Breast Cancer Screening Services For Bolivar County, Mississippi
The Center for Community and Economic Development, Delta State University (Cleveland, MS, in Bolivar County), in partnership with the (a) Delta State University’s School of Nursing, (b) the Delta Health Center located in Mound Bayou, MS, Bolivar County, (c) Bolivar Medical Center, (d) Leaders of Delta Health and Wellness, and (e) the AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) program administered by the Center for Community and Economic Development has implemented a year round Breast Education and Early Detection Project.
The project’s mission is: “Eradicating Breast Cancer as a Life-Threatening Disease by Advancing Education and Early Detection”. This project will develop and demonstrate creative, innovative and effective approaches to eradicating breast cancer; thereby increasing the number of women who adopt early detection methods. The approach targets a population of low- income women in communities that have limited access to preventive health services and plans to link them to services that will address their breast health needs. Ensuring the highest level of health among women also improves the health and wellbeing of children, families, the workforce and the entire nation. 
 
Workshops are held throughout Bolivar County and will are open to the general public. One-hundred low-income, underinsured, at-risk participants, county wide, will be eligible to receive free breast screenings. Scholarships are also made available in the amount of $25.00 for fifty of the participants to assist with transportation.
 
Funding for this program is made possible by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation.

Denton, TX Watershed Protection Program

Type: Program
Status: Launched in January 2001
Source File: http://www.cityofdenton.com/pages/utilswaterwatershed.cfm
Description:
The Watershed Protection Program was initiated in January 2001 as a part of a plan to reduce the overall pollutants within the surface waters of Denton and to ensure compliance with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Storm Water Phase II rule.
This program incorporates the infrastructure established by an Environmental Protection Agency EMPACT grant awarded to the City of Denton and the University of North Texas in 1998. During the first year of the Watershed Protection Program, monitoring results from the EMPACT system and additional watershed monitoring were used to establish preliminary baseline conditions for the physical, chemical, and biological components of the city's surface water resources. Results from this monitoring program are used to support the requirements of the Phase II storm water program, assess water quality for the purposes of source water protection, and establish baseline conditions that can be used to evaluate any future changes in water quality.
Cooper Creek, Hickory Creek, and Pecan Creek are the three main watersheds that convey water through Denton. Using topographical information and professional judgment, approximately 71 sub-basins were delineated within the city. Sampling stations were established within these 71 sub-basins at locations that would likely represent the water quality of the sub-basins. Monitoring of these 71 sub-basins during base-flow conditions was initiated in January 2001 and has continued on a monthly basis ever since.
Permanent monitoring stations were established near the ends of the three major watersheds prior to the confluence of the watersheds with Lewisville Lake. These include a station above and below the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant's outfall.
More extensive monitoring is conducted at these stations to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the combined effects of sub-basin water quality just prior to entering the city's main drinking water source, Lake Lewisville.
The data collected at one of these stations and at the drinking water intake structure are available on the EMPACT web site at http://www.ecoplex.unt.edu. The program hopes to add all of the permanent stations to this web site in the near future.

Denver, CO Pollution Prevention (P2)

Type: Policy
Status: Initiated in 1999
Source File: http://www.denvergov.org/ES/PollutionPreventionP2/tabid/386884/Default.aspx
Description:
Pollution prevention (P2) is the process whereby businesses (primarily) reduce the amount of or change the materials they use in their day-to-day activities in order to reduce the amount and type of waste produced. This is often done instead of or in addition to reducing, changing, handling, and or disposing of waste after it is produced. The common wisdom is that it is cheaper and more environmentally-friendly to engage in pollution prevention activities than to clean up emissions or waste after it is produced.
The Environmental Quality Division (division)--being a regulatory agency--always prefers to educate and provide technical assistance to regulated entities as opposed to using enforcement. P2 is another method to gain compliance as an alternative to enforcement. As such, beginning in 1999, the division will launch a P2 effort for select business groups in geographical areas of the city to be determined. The thrust of this initiative is three-fold. First, we will use the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Environmental Leadership Program to encourage businesses to become more responsible. Second, using a P2 grant through the Preventative Health and Health Services Block Grant Program and in cooperation with the Northeastern Colorado Regional Pollution Prevention Program, we will receive P2 training and approach targeted, regulated businesses in Denver with innovative ways to implement P2 into their daily operations. Third, the division will be promoting certification to an international environmental standard (ISO 14001) as the basis and mechanism for companies pursuing P2.
The results of these efforts should result in fewer waste products being introduced into the environment and provide an economic benefit to businesses as well.

Dickinson College, PA Mully Grub Restoration

Type: Program
Status: Initiated in 1998
Source File: http://alpha.dickinson.edu/storg/allarm/projects%20and%20programs/mully%20grub.htm
Description:
The Mully Grub stream runs through the Borough of Carlisle, and is a tributary of the LeTort Spring Run, a renowned trout stream. The source spring of the Mully Grub is buried under Carlisle . As Carlisle developed over the centuries, the Mully Grub was redirected through underground piping. Today most of the Mully Grub flows beneath the streets, with only a small portion above ground near its junction with the LeTort.
In 1998, after years of monitoring and collecting stream data, Candie Wilderman and her students demonstrated that the Mully Grub contributed to pollution in the LeTort. Then a community watershed organization, the LeTort Regional Authority, worked with ALLARM and other Dickinson students to develop a restoration plan for the area. This is an excellent example of what can be accomplished through the cooperation of a community and an academic institution.
In the autumn of 2000, ALLARM completed the first phase of the Mully Grub restoration. This included the installation of brush and stone deflectors in the LeTort, reshaping the banks of the Mully Grub, and establishing a riparian buffer zone on the banks of the Mully Grub. For the riparian zone, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation donated plants and trees, and ALLARM worked with various community groups to plant them. This increases channel and bank stability, improves habitat, and should therefore increase the diversity of aquatic life.
The second phase of the restoration involved constructing a wetland area along the Mully Grub to filter out pollutants. The wetland was constructed in the Spring of 2002 on property donated by Mr. James C. Bartoli. ALLARM has been conducting ongoing monitoring and assessment to study the wetland's effectiveness in improving stream quality.
