=='''''Our Origin with Green Institute'''''==


SJS / Siterunner: GreenPolicy360 began as a project proposed to the Green Institute by your GreenPolicy siterunner. At the time I was a co-founder of the Green Institute and its publishing director. As envisioned, our GreenPolicy online network set out to be a [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/GreenLinks GreenLinks] global resource of [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Index shared green 'best practices']. Our goal imagined green policies flowing into practice, from local to global, a kinetics of action and dynamic change. 

Green Institute's director, Dean Myerson, and the advisory board including Bill McKibben who was about to begin his "Step It Up" global warming campaign and [http://www.350.org 350.org], said "Go, greenlight" to the original GreenPolicy best practices online network. We launched!

In 2006, our first test version site went online in beta. By 2008, we had expanded our network, renamed as 'GreenPolicy360', and Green Institute transferred its .net/.com/.org domains and oversight to our current green team and MediaWiki cooperative model.

In the years following, the GreenPolicy project has grown steadily. We have tens of million views of the main home site, and tens of millions more shares, forwards and re-forwards of content and pages. Our GreenLinks network is global and our PlanetCitizens  media is reaching a worldwide audience. 

Our partnered organization, Strategic Demands @strategicdemands.com continues its influential work developing 'new definitions of national and global security.' GreenPolicy has extended its outreach with an [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/EOS_eco_Operating_System eco Operating System (eOS)] of sites (including thinbluelayer.com and has linked with NASA mission management and scientific studies of Earth's 'Thin Blue' atmosphere. We are expanding capabilities and apps, and linking green initiatives, policies and practices in a growing [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Category:Networking worldwide open source network.] 

Ongoing operating systems updates include Semantic MediaWiki updates and constant online security improvements.

... Remembering the student teach-ins, the means we used to spread the word and we did. The Vietnam Moratorium Committee became the  peace group and and when we talked to Senator Nelson and George Brown about doing environmental teach-ins that would be the first in a series of annual peace and environment events  they got it and put their combined weight behind the effort.

It came to be, from an [https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1249.html Earthrise moment], to the Moratorium demonstrations and teach-in, to the teach-ins of Earth Day. What quickly followed was the passage of the first generation of US environmental protection legislation.

The environmental movement that sprang from the global realization passed on to us by the NASA Apollo missions, and student activism, are shaping a new generation and modern environmental movement.
