Welcome to Our MediaWiki Green Site

We are a wiki. We’re a community. MediaWiki powers our online collaborative tools -- MediaWiki software.

Think of us (and you are ‘us’) as a community of greens who want to share our ‘best practices’ and who believe in "change, change for the better." We look out, like Apollo, at a blue-green 360° world and we look to change the way governments run, the way businesses run, the way the world works in order to bring sustainable changes that will positively impact all of our lives and our environments. We look for successful waves of green changes that ripple through our world and bring benefits, not damage as we too often see in the current structures and process of government and business.

We are a community site, where your success stories can be shared, your models and prototypes and proposals, resolutions, ordinances, and all the elements of how to envision and create successful green campaigns can be shared. Let’s take the best in the field, examples of ideas and 'green best practices' that have come to fruition (and should become guide lights, city-to-city, community-to-community, region-to-region) and make these green models available to all who want to join up and make a difference.

Our GreenPolicy360 network is a clearinghouse, an interactive site where you can easily find what works and ‘model’ what has worked without ‘reinventing the wheel’. Take the best practices here and pass them along. Offer your green success stories and practical solutions by uploading your model green practices for all to use. Keep on doing your best and keep on with your day-to-day efforts to create a better world.

At the Beginning

GreenPolicy360 began as a project proposed to the Green Institute by Steven Schmidt, the Institute's publishing director and GreenPolicy siterunner. As conceived, Green Policy's online network was to be a GreenLinks network and online source of shared green 'best practices'. Our goal imagined ripples and waves of successful green policies flowing into practice, kinetics of action and dynamic change.

Green Institute's director-in-charge, Dean Myerson, and our advisory board including Bill McKibben, who was just beginning his work establishing 350.org, said "Go, greenlight" and we launched!"

In 2006, our first online version of our green best practices site was launched in beta.

In 2008, we expanded and subsequently became an independent wiki network renamed GreenPolicy360 with the Green Institute transferring its domain and oversight.

In the years following its launch, the GreenPolicy project has grown (a total thru January of 2016 of over 6 Million views) and GreenPolicy has extended its global outreach with an eco Operating System (eOS) of sites and apps, news and science linking green initiatives, policies and practices via world wide web networking.

Recent system updates include Semantic MediaWiki 1.19.13 and expanded mapping -- http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/World_map
