2014 GreenPolicy360 Gamechangers
December 2014

This week GreenPolicy360 highlights George Brown Jr.
Remembering the 'start-up' of the environmental movement and the first laws, a set of founding legal precedents many of which came from forward-looking green visionaries from California, like George E. Brown who passed away suddenly in 1999.
George's work in Congress in air quality/clean air, water and the founding of the EPA highlighted the era's achievement... George was out in front in "big science" -- his profound accomplishments are esp missed now as anti-science positions threaten in the current Congress...

GreenPolicy360 highlights Rebecca Moore.
Rebecca envisioned setting up Google Outreach -- and she did.
As our site mgr Steve wrote: Rebecca had an idea how to save trees around her home
and her idea led to setting up Google Outreach - She had a great idea, she made it happen,
she is continuing to make it happen ! Each day there's new progress, local and global...
Global Forest Watch & Global Fishing Watch are two most recent successful launches.
Here's a tip of our green hat to Rebecca's 'planet citizen' work !
Thank You Rebecca, congratulations - time to see how it's all connected !

Highlighting Iain Keith, a Climate March organizer, from Avaaz:
"We realized that a March could send a powerful signal.
Marches don't always change the world.
Sometimes they are the only things
that shake the system into widespread change."
