GreenPolicy360: Our Position on the Use of Science

GreenPolicy360 is science-focused. Our goal is to inform, educate, inspire and motivate. Facts, data, measuring and monitoring are keys to successful navigation and journeying. If we are Planet Citizens (we are), then we are responsible for Planet Earth.

GreenPolicy360 looks to facts and 'good' science as a guide to our work. As an eco-resource reporting developments within a wide range of environmental fields, we carefully review our site for accuracy.

Our site attempts to be an e-resource that features reporting that is factual and verifiable. We approach eco-questions and -challenges with a problem-solving perspective.

In general, when considering questions of environmental risk, environmental security and action agendas, we advocate far-sighted approaches following the "precautionary principle".

GreenPolicy360 Founder-Siterunner: I can see back to the beginning of an Earth Observation "Inventory" he envisioned when he was proposing and shepherding a new Landsat program into existence. I remember years of learning, sharing and work alongside a congressman setting in motion and advancing decades of U.S. Earth science research programs. George E. Brown was a special person who brought a physics and engineering background to Congress. George saw what others didn't really understand. Your GreenPolicy360 siterunner immediately began to realize the future to come when our East LA Representative showed me documents and spoke of the Mission Statement of NASA. -- “To understand and protect our home planet..."

We were envisioning Earth Science in the 1960s/70s as 'Big Science' and where the science research study our home planet needed to go. Representative Brown became an 'out in front' leader of the first-generation U.S. funded 'Science, Technology, and Space' missions, initiatives and programs in the decades that followed. A modern environmental movement was being envisioned and launched... science delivered strong, lasting assistance...

Protecting the Planet, Protecting Home

We are, as Planet Citizens, Protecting & Preserving Life on Earth

* www.thinbluelayer.com

"Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark ....

There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

This distant image of our tiny world...

underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another,

and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've got."

--Carl Sagan
