NASA's '''Earth Science Enterprise''' (ESE) -- Originally called "'''Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE)'''"
[[Image:Mission to Planet Earth .jpg]]


ESE is dedicated to "''understanding the total Earth system and the effects of natural and human-induced changes on the global environment''." [http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/nsp/mtpe.htm]
<center><font color=green>'''<big><big>"[[Greening Our Blue Planet]]"</big></big> '''</font></center>


Mission to Planet Earth's successor, NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS), provides long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans.


"The ultimate beneficiaries are the present and future generations of the people on Earth..." The goal of the Earth Observing Project is "improved understanding of the Earth as '''an integrated system'''."
<center>GreenPolicy360, with educators, writers, organizers, and supporters, works continually to be a vital source for positive change.</center>


'''ESE's Mission: "To improve life here'''" and "'''to understand and protect our home planet.'''" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Science_Enterprise]
<center>Since the 1990s we have advanced green values and shared '''[[Green Best Practices]]''' community-to-community. Our Green360 eOS, eco operating system, reaches across borders and cultures. We act to deliver ideals, ideas, and successful solutions to the generational challenges facing each and all of us.</center>

'''''March 2014'''''
 
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...

April 6 - IPCC Update
 
Government officials and top climate scientists will meet in Berlin from April 7-12 to review a 29-page next steps draft that estimates '''the needed shift to low-carbon energies will cost between two and six percent of world output by 2050'''... The IPCC draft report is the third and final study in a U.N. series about climate change, updating findings from 2007.

In the pilot-stage of Climate.Data.gov, you will find resources "to help companies, communities, and citizens understand and prepare for the impacts of coastal flooding and sea level rise." Over time, the "Climate Data community" will expand to include more datasets, web services, and tools. "It will also cover other themes such as the vulnerability of the food supply and the threats to human health from climate change."
The resources page features datasets and services on coastal vulnerability. [http://catalog.data.gov/dataset?groups=climate5434&_groups_limit=0]

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"

===Our Purpose===
 
 
'''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.
 
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.
 
===How to Use this Site===
 
Our team has worked very hard to make it easy for you to find what you're looking for! We've created many tools for you to use as outlined below.
 
'''1) Browse our All Pages Index'''
: The [[Index|All Pages Index]] is broken down into categories and lists every single entry in GreenPolicy360.
 
<s>'''2) Google Maps'''</s>
: Maps being reprogrammed... SMW coming soon <s>Are you a ''visual'' person? Do you want to see what kinds of Green legislation and programs have been introduced and/or passed in your locale?  You can search by [[Map cities|Cities]], [[Map counties|Counties]] and [[Map education|Educational Institutions]].</s>
 
'''3) Browse/Search GreenPolicy360 through the use of a wide variety of categories'''
: Have you stopped by to see if you can find models for green policy in your community or are you interested in discovering green ideas of what might be <u>possible</u> to introduce in your community or region or country even?
:* Use this link to view all the [[:Category:Topic|topics]] we presently cover (e.g., [[:Category:Peace|Peace]], [[:Category:Housing|Housing]], [[:Category:Youth|Youth]], etc.)

'''4) Searching the site on your own terms'''
: Simply enter your search words in the box to the left and click on '''Policy Search'''.  You can enter '''subject''' words, '''place names''', anything you want, and in any combination you want. ''Please be aware that searches must be at least three characters long. The database will not search for two-character search strings.''
 
'''5) A Note about the "background info" tab'''
:As we continue to develop the various capabilities of GreenPolicy360, it is our intent to provide you with more background information in the form of summaries, analyses, news article, interviews and first person narratives.
:To know whether or not any given entry possesses background information, all you need to identify is the color of the tab.  If the tab has blue lettering, then the entry <u>does</u> include background information.  If the tab has red lettering, it means that it does NOT include background information...yet.
