''The GreenPolicy360 network is a clearinghouse where you can find what works and 'repurpose' green policies and practices without ‘reinventing the wheel’.

=='''At the Beginning'''==


SJS: 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] network and [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Index online source] of 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 wiki network, renamed as 'GreenPolicy360' and Green Institute transferred its .net/.com/.org domains and oversight to our current green team and wiki cooperative model.

In the years following, the GreenPolicy project has grown steadily. As of 2016 we have over 8 million views of the home site, many more forwards and re-forwards of content and pages, social media and shares. GreenPolicy has extended its global outreach with an [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/EOS_eco_Operating_System eco Operating System (eOS)] of sites and apps, news and science linking green initiatives, policies and practices via a growing [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Category:Networking worldwide open source network.] 

Recent system updates include Semantic MediaWiki 1.19.13 and we are improving online security.
