31 March 2014/Japan/IPCC international conference - "The '''Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)''' issued a report today that says the '''effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans'''. The extensive set of documents, continuing a multi-year series of scientific documentation and analyses, details latest developments and warns that the world is "ill-prepared" for risks from a changing climate. The report also states that there are "opportunities" to respond to such risks, though the risks will be difficult to manage with high levels of warming...

"It will also cover other themes such as the vulnerability of the food supply and the threats to human health from climate change."

Does business have a social responsibility beyond profit? Yes.
 
At the Apple annual shareholder meeting, when faced with a conservative think-tank's objections to Apple's green energy and environmental initiatives, Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke up -- "We do a lot of things for reasons besides profit motive... We want to leave the world better than we found it." To any who found the company's environmental dedication either ideologically or economically ill-advised, they can "get out of the stock," Cook said.

"The earth from here [circling the moon] is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space." — Jim Lovell, live Apollo 8 - ''1968''
 
"If somebody had said before the flight, "Are you going to get carried away looking at the earth from the moon?" I would have say, "No, no way." But yet when I first looked back at the earth, standing on the moon, I cried." — Alan Shepard, Astronaut
 
"As you pass from sunlight into darkness and back again every hour and a half, you become startlingly aware how artificial are thousands of boundaries we've created to separate and define. And for the first time in your life you feel in your gut the precious unity of the Earth and all the living things it supports." — Russell Schweikart, Apollo 9
 
"As we got further and further away, it [the Earth] diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate..." — James Irwin, Apollo 15
 
 
"'''''The Overview Effect'''''" refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, hanging in the void, shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere.  From space, the astronauts tell us, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide us become less important and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this "pale blue dot"

&nbsp;


===Our Purpose===
<center><big><big><big>'''Earth in Y/our Hands'''</big></big></big></center>




'''GreenPolicy360''' is an online database which lists local legislation/proposals/resolutions/ordinances/concepts that are congruent with Green values. Our database is growing all the time! Initially at GreenPolicy.US, we have expanded and continue to grow as GreenPolicy360. See the [[Introduction Video]]. Our eco-network is a system designed for sharing, a distributive web of green best practices.
<center>[[File:Earth in Human Hands.jpg]]</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/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, copy and paste what has worked in other communities and locations and modify to your own needs. "Think and act global ''and'' local!"


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.
