Steven Schmidt, GreenPolicy360 Founder-Siterunner


Welcomes You to Our GreenPolicy MediaWiki Network

GreenPolicy360 -- Greening Our Blue Planet


GreenPolicy360 is an eOS, an 'eco Operating System' designed to share green best practices.

We believe in "change, change for the better" as 'planet citizens' of a blue-green 360° world so magnificently first viewed in December 1968 from the Apollo 8 mission.

The GreenPolicy360 network is a clearinghouse where you can find what works and 'repurpose' green policies and practices without ‘reinventing the wheel’. Take the green best practices offered via Topics and Categories and pass them along. Offer your green success stories and practical solutions by uploading your model green practices for all to use.

GreenPolicy360 encourages all in our global network to work in keeping with the importance of facts and science.

We are planet citizens and planet citizens, planet scientists.

Your GreenPolicy360 founder-siterunner brings multiple decades of Green work and politics to the challenge facing all of us. The experiences involved in starting up what is often called a movement, a modern environmental politics, involves call to action and here at GreenPolicy360 we focus on science and facts as a foundation in our Green activism.

Over the years, beginning in the 1960s and 'teach ins', and the first Earth Day, and through the story of your GreenPolicy360 founder at work, the hope has continued that our efforts to advance environmental protection and quality of life, would become reality.

Take a look at our GreenPolicy360 science-based shared stories -- and take a look at our founder-siterunner's writing, the drafting of a founding Green Platform, and many years of international Green politics, a follow on U.S.-Euro Green 'Common Ground' and wide-ranging 'Global Green' work.

Here is how the Green Horizon Magazine describes the organizing efforts of Steve Schmidt:


SJS - Steven Schmidt - Green Horizon Magazine on Founders of the Green Party.png


"Who Founded the Green Party in the United States?"

by John Rensenbrink, Professor Emeritus, History & Politics, Bowdoin College

Professor Rensenbrink writes of 'essential founding work' by eight individuals, including GreenPolicy360's founder and current Siterunner -- Steven Schmidt (GreenPolicy360.com)

Steven Schmidt

Steve promoted and ably defended the creation of the Association of Green State Parties in the early days of the nascent U.S. Green Party. In 1995 at a national gathering of Greens in New Mexico, he presented the "40-State Green Organizing Effort," a strategic plan that included a presidential campaign by state parties with a convention to be held in Los Angeles. The proposal was accepted and state parties moved forward with national organizing based on his plan. Steve chaired a new Platform committee from 1995 to 2001, during which time he structured and drafted a significant amount of the founding platform (which can be found at https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Category:Green_Platform). The official, founding U.S. Green Party Platform was an integral part of the subsequent successful submission to the FEC for national committee/party status.

SJS / Siterunner: GreenPolicy360 began as a project proposed to the Green Institute by your GreenPolicy siterunner. At the time I was a co-founder of the Green Institute and its publishing director. As envisioned, our GreenPolicy online network set out to be a GreenLinks global resource of shared green 'best practices'. Our goal imagined green policies flowing into practice, from local to global, a kinetics of action and dynamic change.

Green Institute's director, Dean Myerson, and the advisory board including Bill McKibben who was about to begin his "Step It Up" global warming campaign and 350.org, said "Go, greenlight" to the original GreenPolicy best practices online network. We launched!

In 2006, our first test version site went online in beta. By 2008, we had expanded our network, renamed as 'GreenPolicy360', and Green Institute transferred its .net/.com/.org domains and oversight to our current green team and MediaWiki cooperative model.

In the years following, the GreenPolicy project has grown steadily. We have tens of million views of the main home site, and tens of millions more shares, forwards and re-forwards of content and pages. Our GreenLinks network is global and our PlanetCitizens media is reaching a worldwide audience.

Our partnered organization, Strategic Demands @strategicdemands.com continues its influential work developing 'new definitions of national and global security.' GreenPolicy has extended its outreach with an eco Operating System (eOS) of sites (including thinbluelayer.com and has linked with NASA mission management and scientific studies of Earth's 'Thin Blue' atmosphere. We are expanding capabilities and apps, and linking green initiatives, policies and practices in a growing worldwide open source network.

Ongoing operating systems updates include Semantic MediaWiki updates and constant online security improvements.

... Remembering the student teach-ins, the means we used to spread the word and we did. The Vietnam Moratorium Committee became the peace group and and when we talked to Senator Nelson and George Brown about doing environmental teach-ins that would be the first in a series of annual peace and environment events they got it and put their combined weight behind the effort.

It came to be, from an Earthrise moment, to the Moratorium demonstrations and teach-in, to the teach-ins of Earth Day. What quickly followed was the passage of the first generation of US environmental protection legislation.

The environmental movement that sprang from the global realization passed on to us by the NASA Apollo missions, and student activism, are shaping a new generation and modern environmental movement.

In 1977-78 the first climate science comes to light... first generation science for national and global environmental action set a platform in place on which to create climate policy and environmental protection over the coming decades ...


First National Climate Act, Historic Work, 1978

GreenPolicy360 Siterunner / SJS: The beginnings of modern environmental and climate science can be traced to the 60s and 70s. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences played a key role with scientific reports and data.

Energy and Climate Report, 1977, National Academy of Sciences / 175 pp. / PDF via GreenPolicy360

George Brown, taking the 1977 Energy and Climate Report from the Academy, made climate science actionable. In a historic moment, Representative Brown from East Los Angeles proposed and drafted the legislation for the first U.S. National Climate Program and shepherded its passage in 1978. In 1979 came the first follow-on National Science Academy report. This study and report of national scientists was prescient and accurate in its global warming predictions.

This first federal program established to study and assess scientifically the issues and risks of human-caused climate change became a foundation for comprehensive initiatives, and led to an array of new Earth Science missions by NASA and NOAA, the EPA and USGS.

Proposing and Organizing a "Serious, Credible, Platform-based U.S. Green Party"


Organizing an international Green Platform with a Coalition of Green Parties


SJS / Siterunner: Our formative U.S. Green Party, after the 1996 campaign, reached out to European Green parties and I worked via our new U.S Green Party Platcom to draft a first-ever Green Parties "Common Ground" Platform document articulating core, shared U.S./European Green party values and positions.

The following document memorializes what we presented that was approved and passed in Paris in 1999.
