===Our Purpose===
<center><center>''[https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Green_Best_Practices '''Create your own green best practices''']... [https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Planet_Citizen_Action '''Act to make a positive difference every day''']''</small></center>


'''GreenPolicy360''' is an online database which lists local legislation that is congruent with Green values. Unlike numerous other web sites, we don't offer analysis and summaries of the legislation, but the wording of the legislation itself along with other pertinent information, including a link to the original source.  In time, we hope to offer interesting background information for many of the entries listed in our database. There are literally hundreds of entries and the database is growing all the time!! See the [[Introduction Video]].
<center><small>''Now is time to go beyond old ways of thinking & shape new visions of our living [https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Environmental_movement '''Planet Earth''']''</small></center>


GreenPolicy360 was developed for use in all communities, local, national, international.  Whether you're a progressive elected official, an activist or a concerned citizen, GreenPolicy360 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 legislation for your local community or you just want to get an idea of what might be possible, you can copy and paste the text from legislation from other locales and modify it to your own needs.
&nbsp;


GreenPolicy360 is also an excellent reference source for students and online education. With a wide array of topics, GreenPolicy360 will save you time and energy as you look to learn and become engaged in work to improve your community and our world. Whatever country you are in, you can learn from best practices from your region, bioregion or similar regions. Rather than spend hours and hours trying to locate source material, you can find many models and examples of what you're looking for right here, right now.
