In February of 2010, the city of Cleveland issued a request for proposals and plans for a sustainable economy in which “Sustainability Cleveland 2019” was introduced. Every year up to 2019, a new project will be targeted to help sustain Cleveland’s economy.

Such projects include: energy efficiency, the use of local foods, clean water and green spaces, along with many others.

Chris Mines, an analyst for Forrester Research in Cambridge, Mass., predicts that spending on green IT initiatives will actually increase in 2009. This includes investments in projects to improve the efficiency of data centers, optimize technology, and reduce technology-related energy use across businesses. With Project Green Challenge. A youth-led organization is engaging high school and college students, across the country, in a 30-day challenge to change their habits and go green.

With Project Green Challenge

The aim of the challenge is to “inspire students to alter their own habits and to reach out and touch others.” According to the website, the Project Green Challenge, which began on Oct. 1, offers, “participating students 30 daily tips ‘to raise awareness about conscious living, informed consumption, and the collective impact of individual actions, as well as empower students with actionable steps for their own lives.’” The aptly named campaign is a byproduct of the student-led organization “Teens Turning Green,” founded in 2005.

Green Schools

Each school participating in the challenge selects an environmental issue (i.e. energy usage, waste reduction) and receives help from a mentor organization to develop a project that addresses the issue while involving students and educating them about environmental stewardship. For third grade French immersion teacher Alex Lelarge, high paper usage has been a key concern in his classroom. So, we partnered with the Hynes Charter School teacher and his students to promote reusing and recycling paper, as well as other recyclable materials the school normally sends to landfill.

I found myself tracking the COP17 climate talks this year with a heavy heart.

In Matters of Climate Change We Must All Dig for Victory – 360° Energy Diet

It is shameful the way world leaders have acted to stall and block any meaningful progression on a solid, legally binding global plan to cut carbon emissions. It is completely unacceptable that world leaders still lack the political will to acknowledge responsibility for the crisis that we are facing. 360° Energy Diet. Great Energy Challenge.
