GreenPolicy360 began its conception in 2004, as a project proposed to the Green Institute by Steve Schmidt, the Institute's publishing division director. As conceived, a green online network is a readily accessible source of green 'best practices' and was also seen as another way to compete with political groups who were organizing multi-state initiatives in the US to push back green successes at the local and national level.

In 2006, the first version online of the green best practices database was launched.

In 2008, the project expanded and subsequently became an independent wiki network renamed GreenPolicy360, as the Green Institute transferred its domain and oversight.

In the years following its launch, the GreenPolicy project has grown (over 3 million views in 2014 -- a total in August 2015 of 3,741,678) and GreenPolicy has expanded globally into an eco operating system (eOS) linking successful green initiatives, policies and practices 360°.

In the year 2014, updates included Semantic MediaWiki Version 1.19.13 and expanded mapping.

GP360-About Us

GreenPolicy360 provides green best practices, news and updates, and an online database which lists local/global policies and successful examples -- legislation/proposals/resolutions/ordinances/concepts -- of green values in practice. Our database is growing. We've experienced millions of page visits. Our Introduction Video explains how we started.

We are an eco-network, a system designed for online sharing, a distributive web of green best practices. GreenPolicy360 was developed for use in all communities, local, national, international. GreenPolicy lets you know how other communities are dealing with many of the key public policy issues of yesterday, today and tomorrow. If you're working to craft similar green legislation/proposals/resolutions/ordinances/concepts for your local community, or you just want to get an idea of best practices that might be possible, you can use the models and templates here. Use the platform of best practices, build on what has worked in other communities and locations, multiply and keep on keeping on.
