'''''GreenPolicy360''''' ''provides green best practices, news and updates, and an online database which lists local/global policies and successful examples -- legislation/proposals/resolutions/ordinances/concepts -- of green values in practice. Our database is growing. We've experienced millions of page visits. Our [[Introduction Video]] explains how we started.''
''We are an eco-network, a system designed for online sharing, a distributive web of green best practices.''

''Use our online platform of best practices, build on what has worked in other communities and locations, create waves of change, multiply and keep on keeping on.''
''"Think and act global and local!"''
○
