Ecology Committee
Contact: Ecology@one-ps.org
The Ecology Committee focuses on the ecology, environment, health and wellness of the neighborhoods, the City and the City’s visitors by identifying addressable issues and making recommendations for actions to be considered by the Membership and/or by individual NOrgs. The Ecology Committee decides which specific environmental, health and wellness issues it will address through input from the Membership and the Board and through ongoing review of environmental, health and wellness action in other jurisdictions. The Ecology Committee shares information with appropriate City, County and other governmental bodies and non-profit environmental groups regarding approaches to, and best practices for, addressing environmental issues. Within ONE-PS, the Ecology Committee furthers its commitment to environmental concern and action by working with the Communications Committee to encourage pro-environmental perspectives in ONE-PS’s communications, with the Events Committee to encourage environmental messaging at ONE-PS events and with the Neighborhood Formation and Support Committee to encourage NOrgs to address environmental concerns. If the Ecology Committee proposes recommendations for any changes to City codes and regulations, they must be approved by the Board before being presented to the Membership for a vote. Recommendations approved by the Membership are then submitted to the appropriate City staff.
