GreenPolicy360 journeys across 50+ years of the modern environmental movement
Connecting & sharing world changing stories
GreenPolicy360/SJS: Our website documents, up close and personal, the modern environmental protection movement. We start at the beginning of new ways of seeing humanity's home planet. Those of us who were there, in December/January 1968-1969, witnessed the first-ever, full-color images taken from space of our Whole Earth. What we knew about our world, our place in space, changed in an instant. Some would later call this a "cognitive shift". Our GreenPolicy360 founder described the feelings later in the 1970s to a writer, Jerzy Kosinski, in NY City. Jerzy was the "Being There" author and we talked about the Apollo astronauts who took the picture of Earth that went onto the cover of Life Magazine. I talked about a friend, Barbara Baker, a photo editor at Life and I told Jerzy more about NASA and a man named George. Congressman George Brown who, like Chauncey Gardiner, the humble hero of Jerzy's Being There book, was a gardener in his own right. George was planting and nurturing in a new field that was being created, Earth observation science. The result? An "Earth Observing" leap forward, a Congress-led science, technology and space enterprise, a constellation of satellites and public-private-education institution partnerships was launched to provide essential Earth Science data and knowledge.
The first generation of Earth Science was called "Earth System Science" by leaders like Representative George E. Brown who, as a Congressperson, went on to oversee three decades of initiatives, ventures, projects and missions we now know for their exploring, mapping, and delivering to humanity the first years of environmental science -- seeing, really seeing, Planet Earth. When George was proposing then tending to the Landsat program, one of the many ventures George Brown gardened, he was speaking of a blue-green home planet.
Today we are, as we go onward nation-by-nation, community-by-community, responsible for tending to the Earth. A tip of our green hat to George Brown from East Los Angeles and to all of those, generation-to-generation, who choose to tend to our 'garden', our living planet Earth.

Planet Citizen Vision of Living Earth
GreenPolicy360: The following Earth and Space, Politics page is presented in two parts: 1) first an introduction to Earth and Climate science, and how we have watched and participated in this 'first generation' work over the years. We give special attention to the original NASA Mission Statement as a key to understanding how science/imaging/data from Landsat and successive generation of satellite programs were pushed forward to 'measure, monitor and manage' Earth's living and changing systems. Read the story of a unique Congressional leader, visionary 'Big Science' George E. Brown and linked Earth Science source material offered throughout GreenPolicy360. Experience through our eyes how a generation first became aware of environmental issues, the climate crisis, and then worked over decades to understand and protect Planet Earth; 2) then, as you continue here, take some to consider our highlights of latest Planet Citizen news, stories, and events arranged yearly and monthly. We're all riding together here on Planet Earth, partners!
