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 the 1990s, as a member of New Mexico's State Board of Education, I could see future opportunities more clearly in my roles on the state's technology council and with educational technology. At the time I was responsible for oversight of bringing the Internet into some 900 schools and I welcomed the role to create a new educational vision -- an online, accredited university.

Going Green Best Practices check sm.png
Planet Citizens


SJS / GreenPolicy Siterunner:
Going green begins with a decision, a decision to be contemplative, to become actionable, moving to make a positive difference, choosing to create waves, creating rippling forces of change...
Being green is to be a planet citizen
Being green is to care about protecting children and quality of life, offering educational opportunities and livelihoods, safe communities and peaceful policies that look to today and the lives of future generations
Being green is about 'living, loving & learning' ...

Who's being observed? We are... yes, our site's been imaged and captured by remote scanning bots and our 50+ years of Earth and Space, Politics and our network of pages and content ranging over the history of the environmental movement are now in databases worldwide.

We're open access creative commons and so, as we've rolled, we've been freely sharing since AI came along and began arriving to take us up. Now, we're being 'repackaged' and delivered to digital systems 360. We're sort of an extension to online ChatGPTs

We think of our curated contributions as Green Education with verve.

What a journey it's been, what a tech trip it is ;-
