Members Absent

Item 1 Call to Order

Chair Taylor documented a quorum and called the meeting to order at 9:15 a.m.

Item 2 Open Comments

Chair Taylor offered opportunity for comments, regarding items on this agenda, to those in attendance. No comments were made.

Item 3 Presidential Evaluation

Prior to moving into the formal presidential evaluation discussion, President Delaney provided the Board of Trustees with an overview of operational issues under review, as reported in the media, related to Florida State College, Jacksonville.   President Delaney additionally reported that, given local, state and national attention with regard to presidential compensation, he and Chair Taylor had discussed the potential benefit of bringing in a compensation consultant to review President Delaney’s compensation and contract terms.

At the conclusion of this conversation, President Delaney exited the meeting and Chair Taylor led a discussion on President Delaney’s self-report and performance for 2011-2012.    Given the number of new Board members, Chair Taylor and Vice President Stone began the discussion with a review of (a) the presidential evaluation process, as approved by the Board, (b) a review of the 2010 compensation study and recommendations from Dr. Terrence MacTaggart, a Senior Fellow with the Association of Governing Board of Universities, who was engaged by the Board for this purpose, and (c) a review of President Delaney’s contract terms and conditions.  In addition to providing Trustees with detailed background information, Board members were provided with copies of relevant documents.

Chair Taylor noted that the President had expressed interest in extending his contract until 2018.  Chair Taylor suggested that the Board engage Paul McConnell, a highly experienced compensation consultant, to review the President’s current contract structure and compensation package, with the purpose of making recommendations to the Board concerning contract structure and compensation, should the President and Board wish to extend President Delaney’s contract beyond its current term. Vice President Stone noted that the President’s current contract contemplates such a discussion in August 2013, so this would be the appropriate time to engage a consultant to make recommendations to the Board.  All Board members were fully supportive of retaining a professional compensation consultant for this purpose and Chair Taylor said he would ask the university to move forward with a contract with Mr. McConnell.

The Board then engaged in a detailed discussion of the President’s performance for 2011-2012.  Chair Taylor stated that President Delaney had, again, done an outstanding job in all respects and noted the many accomplishments of the President and the university, as outlined in the President’s self-evaluation.

Board members expressed their strong support of President Delaney’s leadership and their desire to see him continue in this role.  Comments from all trustees were uniformly extremely positive. Trustees commended President Delaney for the excellent relationship he has maintained with students, faculty and staff. Trustee Fassi described the outstanding relationship President Delaney shares with the student body and the high esteem in which he is held.

The Board noted that President Delaney has remained highly visible in the community and is held in the highest regard at the state level.  He was commended for his unique skill set in the political arena and the effectiveness of his advocacy on behalf of UNF within the community, with the Board of Governors and with the state legislature. He has continued to be recognized as a leader in higher education, having been named this year as a member of the Florida Blue Ribbon Task Force on State Higher Education Reform.

The Board appreciates his integrity, credibility and commitment to continuous improvement of the institution, whether in the context of improvements to the campus’s physical plant or in the quality of UNF students and their academic experience.  He was described by the Board as a complete package in terms of how he leads and manages the university and Board members commended the President for his transparency in communications with the Board. They also appreciate his emphasis on the faculty/student relationship, as demonstrated in his self-evaluation. As noted by one Board member, the landscape of higher education is changing and the university needs someone with President Delaney’s experience, vision and ideas.

A MOTION was made by Trustee Greene to award the maximum performance compensation allowable under President Delaney’s contract. Trustee Munoz seconded the MOTION. The MOTION was approved with a unanimous vote.

Following the vote, there was a brief discussion of whether the Board ought to renegotiate the performance compensation element of President Delaney’s contract to make it self-executing with each year of performance, given his excellent sustained performance.  Chair Taylor suggested that this discussion be tabled until we retain a compensation consultant and received his recommendations. All trustees agreed to table this discussion to a later date.

Item 4 Adjournment

Chair Taylor concluded the meeting, stating that the best was yet to come for the University of North Florida.

Chair Taylor adjourned the meeting at 10:25 a.m.

Children in Barbados have their say on development goals

© UNICEF Barbados/2007/McClean-Trotman
Students at Harrison College pose with the Hon. Trevour Prescod, Minister of Social Transformation, and the Hon. Hamilton Lashley, Government Advisor on Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals.

By Lisa McClean-Trotman

BRIDGETOWN. Barbados, 30 May 2007 – With the timeline for meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) drawing closer, Barbadian teenagers recently had the opportunity to question their government leaders about what was being done to ensure that Barbados reaches the goals – especially MDG 1 on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger.

The occasion was the ‘Yes Minister’ session held by the Office of the Government’s Advisor on Poverty Alleviation and the MDGs, in collaboration with the UNICEF Office for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean and the fourth-form students at Harrison College, a secondary School in Barbados.

More than 100 adolescents from eight schools across the island attended the half-day session, which focused on poverty eradication and education.

“It taught us what the politicians were doing to improve education in Barbados,” said Kirt Goodridge, 15. “And also what measures were being put in place to alleviate poverty, and what role students need to play in this regard.”

Nicole Broomes, also 15, thanked the ministers for taking time to attend. She noted that the session provided an in-depth analysis of the seriousness of poverty, which she hoped would soon be a thing of the past.

Education key to ending poverty

Following a presentation on the MDGs by a UNICEF specialist, the students listened to the views of two government officials – the Hon. Cynthia Forde, acting Minister of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports, and the Hon. Trevour Prescod, Minister of Social Transformation – along with the UNICEF Representative for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Tom Olsen.

Mr. Prescod reminded the students that education is the key in the eradication of poverty. Mr. Olsen added that Barbados has achieved universal primary education but still needs to ensure the quality of schooling and meet the needs of all children – girls and boys, and especially those boys who are more at risk of dropping out.

He also told the students that achieving any of the MDGs would depend on the contribution of every individual member of a community.

Questions and recommendations

Following these presentations, students had the opportunity to question the ministers about government policies on a variety of issues relating to poverty eradication. Topics included:

  • The government’s expenditure on infrastructure development
  • The rising cost of living as a hindrance to poverty eradication
  • Changing criteria for issuing education scholarships.

Students also questioned the government’s stance on the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME), which was  implemented in January 2006 and allows for free movement of people, goods and services across the Caribbean. Some were concerned that the CSME would lead to an influx of immigrants and a negative impact on employment for Barbadians.

The students went on to make several recommendations to the ministers, including:

  • Changes in the education curriculum to enable students to benefit from more practical skills
  • Changes in government policies on the standardized examination for 11-year-olds, which many see as a threat to children’s self-esteem
  • More programmes in schools to help children learn money management and parenting skills.

Overall, students said the session was useful in helping them to understand more about the MDGs and what their country must do to achieve them.

First job: I worked at the Roaring 50s ice cream parlor in Universal City when I was in 10th grade. I did a little of everything. I scooped ice cream, made sandwiches - you name it.

What it taught me: That job taught me responsibility. Showing up on time, being independent and being well-dressed were all life lessons that were instilled in me early on. It helped me get where I am today.

Thank you Dyrus!
I'm going to be real I wasn't really much of a TSM fan but I loved Dyrus and I'm really sad that he is retiring. His interview actually brought tears to my eyes and I'm sure a whole lot of people are going to miss him.
tbh I never really liked Dyrus, and I'm not a TSM fan. he was a decent player and he had some good plays in his career but I just can't get all that beat up about his retirement. he'll still probably find himself as a coach somewhere down the line.

@VinMcCarthy I'm not really a fan of TSM I like Dyrus as a person he's a really funny and chill guy

About the Property

5 Bedroom - 3 Bath - Sleeps 18

Are you looking for a great place for that family reunion? A place where you can boat, fish and enjoy the lake? A place with activities to suit everyone in your party? Holly Hills, located on Lake Gaston, is just the home you have been looking for. LakeGaston is close to many cities, i.e., Richmond VA, Rocky Mount NC,Raleigh NC, and Hampton Roads, just to name a few. Dock your boat at our large boathouse and invite your friends as well, because there is room at the boathouse to dock several boats.

This lake front home is on a very large gently sloping lot. From the screened-in-deck off the living room enjoy the view of the lake. There is a small sandy area where smaller children can play by the lake or simply keep them entertained in the large in-ground private swimming pool.

The house includes a pool table and foosball table. There is a large hammock for a lazy afternoon nap, or get the group involved in a horseshoe tournament. A badminton/volleyball net and ball are also available for your enjoyment.

The hot tub is available year round, but it is especially nice for a weekend away during the off-season. Lake Gaston is a great place for a family vacation. The average summer temperature is 76 degrees, and Lake Gaston has many different varieties of fish that include catfish, striped bass, large mouth bass, crappie, and sunfish.

Your pets are welcome in our home without an additional pet deposit. We do ask that you only smoke outdoors. This home is located in the NE quadrant of Lake Gaston off of Pea Hill Creek. It is on the Virginia side, just barely over the North Carolina line.

Was not worth the money.

  • 2 of 5

The home was nice but for 3 days we had no phone (the home phone was out) and no internet. [Our cells did not work because at&t is the only system that works in Lexington. Our family reported us missing. We had a B O L O on our car and we got pulled over on the way home.

Owner's Response: Hi Charles, sorry to say that you had a few issues during your stay. I am happy that you enjoyed the house. Unfortunately the reception at the lake is not always that good , however, in town ( about 5 miles away) your calls will go through. I found out that recent storms in the area affected my phone and internet service. The problem was resolved and you did have access during the remaining days of your stay. Regretfully. John Helm

We would highly recommend!!

  • 5 of 5

My family had such a great relaxing time at Pine Lake Country Home. My husband, two brothers, sister-in-law and myself were there to celebrate and remember our recently passed mother during the week of her birthday. The house is amazing, warm and inviting. Jack, our 11-year old golden retriever enjoyed the water and was so happy laying on the dock and watching us fish. We really didn't want to leave.

We would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone and if fact, I already have some co-workers looking to book a week. We will be back John and Amber! Next time with the grandkids, too!

We live in the area and have stayed in many places between Memphis and Nashville and this is our favorite place for a long weekend for my wife and I. It is a good value for us and even better value for a family get-a-way. Our only sad time is when we have to leave.

Beautiful house on the lake

  • 5 of 5

Loved staying in this beautiful house on the lake. Fished everyday and caught several. Grilled out on the gas grill some and cooked breakfast every morning. Very nice appliances. Only ate out one time. My favorite place was sitting in the sun room looking out over the lake and reading or playing cards and games at night. Very quite neighborhood and relaxing atmosphere. Beds are very comfortable. Only complaint we have was the downstairs shower is very small. John was very accommodating and April the caretaker was nice. Highly recommend this place!!!

Nice Property. Beautiful Lake.

  • 4 of 5

We stayed for just a couple of nights at the end of July, 2016. The property was great. Left nothing to be desired. Nothing stood out as different than advertised. Well equipped kitchen. Clean. The lake and dock were great. A nice, small beach nearby. The caretaker and owner were both good and very responsive both leading up to and during the stay.

Working wearables: What's in it for the employees?

Could tech make your working life better if you agree to track it?
Are work wearables worth it?

The office of the future will eventually include wearable tech as standard, just like smartphones are everywhere at work now. Aside from boosting productivity and profits for businesses, though, what's the draw for the employees being asked to share their work and even health data with their bosses? Is the exchange of privacy for perks or better working conditions worth it?

Research company Tractica expects wearables to start popping up in office environments and industrial settings in a big way, predicting that more than 75 million devices will be deployed in work settings by 2020. That's no surprise considering the potential to benefit a variety of different disciplines such as healthcare, retail, medicine, aviation, engineering, manufacturing, and the everyday office.

"Expect growth to include devices that are part of a 'bring your own wearable' or BYOW trend [yes, really], as well as devices provided by employers as part of 'corporate wellness programs'," said Tractica's research director, Aditya Kaul. "Smartwatches will be the largest category of workplace wearables, followed by fitness trackers and internet-connected smart glasses. Smart clothing is also on the horizon."

Essential reading: We read your wearables terms and conditions

Kaul sees the BYOW trend changing with the broader growth of smartwatches, particularly the Apple Watch, over other types of wearables as they replace demand for fitness trackers.

Ready for take-off

But it's not just smartwatches and fitness bands that will become commonplace at work. VR headsets such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, or even Avegant's Glyph personal theatre headphones may eradicate the need for desktop monitors in offices. The list is endless.

No matter what the form factor is, the key for the application of wearables in our work lives will be not just through the measurement of productivity and performance but also wellbeing and happiness.

The Human Cloud At Work (HCAW) study by Goldsmiths, University of London, found that wearable tech could boost both employee productivity by 8.5% and job satisfaction by 3.5%.

Goldsmiths also estimates that each employee could create upwards of 30GB of data per week from an average of three wearable devices. The university believes that future employers will be using this mass of raw data, generated by their employees, to understand how human behaviours and environmental properties impact, amongst other profit-boosting metrics, job satisfaction.

Employees could benefit from the data, using it to demand changes in their work environments and ask for their hours to better fit their lives, maximising their productivity and health.

"Wearable tech will offer the critical missing piece of the big data puzzle that is data about human capital," said Goldsmith's Dr Chris Brauer, director of innovation at the Institute of Management Studies, who led the HCAW study.

"We understand the importance of the concept of 'sport science' in optimising athletic performance through technology and analytics.

"Wearable technologies will provide a rejuvenated form of 'management science', optimising workplace productivities and performance through everyday integration of these devices and sensors into the workplace."

Brauer also predicts that employees' biometric data, captured by wearable devices, will give bosses valuable insights as to how working environments could change for better wellbeing.

"The initial drivers for wearable integration in the workplace will be health and wellbeing," he added. "Organisations are already doing things like creating wellbeing programs that track and reward employees for exercising and pursuing healthier lifestyles and diets."

There could also be financial and promotional boosts for those displaying productivity and performance improvements through their wearables' personal data.

One organisation setting an example with a serious wearable tech culture is workforce management firm Kronos, which offers its employees rewards through the use of wearables, including lower insurance premiums for staff.

The company implemented a scheme where workers could choose to upload recent activity from their devices to a personal profile on the "organisation's wellness portal" to accumulate the points required for rewards.

Neil Pickering, director at Kronos UK, said the policy resulted in greater employee engagement in the health and wellbeing program: "By encouraging and incentivising employees to exercise more to earn points, it enables them to keep healthy on their terms and gain rewards in the process.

"Since we allowed employees to use wearable devices, we have had greater engagement from staff, and employees are now more conscious about their health."

Pro or con?

Employees adopting wearable tech at work could be faced with some tough decisions, though. On one hand work-related wearables can potentially be very empowering, with the data gathered giving the 'little guy' the authority to query an employer's demands.

The hard facts in the data could be used to ask for a later start time or more flexible hours for example, demonstrating how it would have a positive productivity bounce through their wearable data.

On the other hand, it could work against them. Management could use the data to chart the relative performance of its employees via 'executive dashboards'.

Think of how a football manager gains insight into the performance of individual members of his team through detailed and personalised analytics from sensors on their body in training.

And that's without the obvious downside of arming your employer with your habits and data when you're not at work. For many, offering their company and its chosen insurance partner a window into their sleep, heart and location data is just too much of a compromise.

If your employer is looking into wearable tech schemes, it's worth finding out if it's opt-in or (unlikely) mandatory, what data will be captured, who will have access to that data and what benefits, perks or insights you'll receive in return. Because wearable data can be powerful not just for businesses but workers too.

Eight Forty-Eight

Labor faces tough battles in Illinois

A major chunk of government deficits were derived from outstanding pension obligations; but the latest attempts to rethink Illinois’ pension system stalled. Both unions and politicians put up roadblocks to proposed legislation. Meanwhile, the fight over a longer school day between Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union came to a pause last week. The CTU will not pursue an injunction against the district and in turn, CPS will not expand its Longer School Day Pioneer Program this year. At every level of government, battles over unionized labor can be found. Eight Forty-Eight checked in with labor expert Bob Bruno to find out what it all meant. Bruno is a labor and employment relations professor at the University of Illinois.

Innovation & Low carbon

With the emergence of new technologies and innovations, the way we distribute electricity has changed through the years.  The core network of poles and cables remains, but we always add new technologies where they provide a benefit.  It's our job to keep developing new innovations and maximise their usage, to help us rise to the challenge of facilitating a low carbon future. Click here to see WPD's Low Carbon Network Fund (LCNF) site.

Please click here for the Innovation Strategy.

View our latest innovation newsletter here.

Every year we publish our Environment and Innovation report. The report is aimed at our stakeholders and provides a useful central document which highlights our performance and targets whilst also acting as a starting point to link to more detailed information and reports.
A copy of our Innovation and Environment Report for 2015/16 can be found here.*

*Please note that you may need to download Adobe Reader for this document. Also, some browsers may not support the interactive function within the PDF.

Losses Strategy

Our latest report has been developed with the intention of making it clearer for stakeholders and all interested parties to understand what actions we have taken to manage our network losses in the past year along with our plans for 2017.
Managing network losses is a high priority for WPD and with increasing levels of distributed energy on the system along with the uptake of low carbon technology; we must ensure we take appropriate actions now so that our networks become increasingly energy efficient in an economical way.
Replacing assets, redesigning our network and developing innovation projects are all helping reduce our network losses resulting in savings of 122GWh during the RIIO-ED1 period.  In simple terms, this would be the equivalent amount of energy needed to power approximately 40,000 homes for one year, producing 50 million kilograms of CO2 emissions.
Additional benefits include a reduction in customers’ energy costs and carbon emissions while freeing up extra capacity on the network.
This latest report will explain what these losses are and how they occur in greater detail along with facts and figures about the initiatives that WPD is taking to reduce losses.

Blu-ray Disc
Members of the Blu-ray Disc Association remain bullish about the prospects for the format, despite the global recession

US retailers remain buoyant about the prospects for Blu-ray Disc, despite the global recession.

According to the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), 10.7 million Blu-ray players have shipped in the US since 2006 (that figure includes Sony's PS3) and there was a threefold increase in player sales in 2008, compared with 2007.

Around 8 per cent of US households now have a blu-ray player, a fact undoubtedly helped by the recent launch of a Blu-ray player at WalMart for $128, and from Best Buy at $99.

However, high software prices are still seen as a possible impediment to the growth of Blu-ray, according to Tom Adams of Adams Media Research: "The pretty stiff premium on software doesn't help in a recession," he says.

There are 1100 BD titles now available in the US. Around eight million discs were sold in December 2008, with The Dark Knight alone selling more than one million.

More after the break

The BDA remains convinced BD-Live functionality will play an increasingly important role in driving Blu-ray sales, once consumers understand what the feature offers.

There are now 21 BD-Live titles available Stateside (not much, given that total number of 1100 BD films), with nine BD-Live players currently available.

Another 11 BD-Live equipped players have been unveiled here at CES this week, including the following:

Pioneer BDP-120/BDP-320/BDP-23FD

LG BD370/BD390

Samsung BD-P3600/BD-4600

JVC LT-42B300

Sharp LC-BD80U

And a couple of Philips models

On the subject of 3D HDTV, the BDA would only say: "There is no formal proposal for 3D HDTV within the BDA yet. We think Blu-ray Disc is the best platform for 3D HDTV, but we need to evaluate the various technologies."

Fantasy Forecast: Round 25

Did the signing of Clint Dempsey ($9.5m) have you scrambling to add him to your fantasy team?
Needless to say, all eyes will be on the Sounders going forward, to see just how big an impact the addition of Dempsey will bring. Also this week, we touch on the Whitecaps new #1 and the immortal midfielder Mike Magee.
Mike Magee ($9.8m), Chicago Fire – Mr. Magee is the very model of consistency. Eight of ten weeks now, Mike has scored for Chicago. With Montreal Impact visiting he looks likely to have another stellar game, and may even take over the league leading fantasy point total title. If all goes well his price should push further north.
David Ousted ($4.5m), Vancouver Whitecaps FC  – I can't remember the last time we recommended a goalkeeper, Ousted presents tremendous value! He finally appears to have secured #1 status last week after patiently waiting since his acquisition. At $4.5m he screams buy. Very familiar to Clint Irwin ($5.1m) when he was valued at $4.0m, he moved to $5.0m in around 11 rounds. Whitecaps are at home this week, so we expect a very strong performance by David and the reast of the blue & white.
Team of the week (Round 25), Seattle Sounders – League wide, the buzz is all about the Seattle Sounders with their shock signing of Clint Dempsey ($9.5m). We don't expect to see Dempsey see much more than perhaps 20 minutes this weekend so with that being said it's a waiting game. However, many managers are picking him up early since the inevitable price increase is bound to come soon. If you can spare the transaction and the large salary sitting on the bench for a week then it's not a bad idea.
Obefemi Martins ($9.2m) and Eddie Johnson ($9.7m) both look poised for a start up front. Although we much rather have Martins on our starting roster, better value and coming off back to back 7pt rounds. Also keep in mind that EJ and Brad Evans ($7.1m) could likely be travelling to Sarejevo with the US Men's National Team for their friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina on August 14th.
Michael Gspurning ($5.5m) is likely to return to the line up after his 3 week injury held him out. If you are planning on picking him up, try to stay up to date with the Sounders news in case  there are any last minute changes.
On Defense look no further than DeAndre Yedlin ($4.7m) who has 20 points in the last 3 rounds. He's a great pick versus a Toronto FC side who has been struggling to find the back of the net. In the centre of the park, you really can't go wrong with any of Seattle's midfielders. Our favourite is Brad Evans ($7.1m) but If you have the spare funds Mauro Rosales ($8.5m) is always an exciting prospect.
Finally, be sure to check out this week's video edition of Starting Lineup where one of the most successful female managers in the league, Whitecaps own Kristina Dyk receives a shout-out from host Andrew Wiebe

Cleveland, Evanston, and Seattle Lead In Climate Change Action

WASHINGTON, DC (January 26, 2015) – Cleveland, Evanston, and Seattle are finalists in World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour City Challenge, a year-long challenge recognizing cities responding to the threats of climate change and reducing their carbon footprint. The cities were chosen by WWF and global management consultancy Accenture for transitioning their communities toward a climate-friendly future.

One of these cities will serve as the 2015 U.S. Earth Hour City Capital and receive funding from WWF to advance local climate readiness efforts. Over 40 local governments from across the country are members of this year’s group of Earth Hour City Challengers.

“The Earth Hour City Challenge showcases cities leading the climate fight,” said Lou Leonard, WWF vice president, climate change. “Each of these cities are taking innovative, impactful ideas to scale and represent the engines for implementing new climate targets set by President Obama. Their work supports healthy environments and strong communities while contributing to global efforts to reduce carbon pollution.”

The 2015 U.S. Earth Hour City Capital will be announced in February and will then compete with finalist cities from 16 other countries across WWF’s network for the title of Global Earth Hour Capital. All told, more than 160 cities participated this year. For the designation as Earth Hour Capital, each of the country finalists’ climate plans are being evaluated by an international panel of climate policy and sustainable development experts. Actions to promote renewable energy are prominently featured in this year’s challenge.

Also beginning today, WWF is asking citizens in the US and around the world to show their support for these cities by participating in the We Love Cities campaign. For the next eight weeks, web visitors are invited to vote for their favorites among the finalist cities, and to share what they love about these cities via photos and videos. The public is also welcome to submit suggestions for how the cities can become even more sustainable.

“While climate change is a global threat, its impacts will be most severely felt at home in our own cities and towns. We also know that 70 percent of emissions globally come from cities. The 2015 City Challenge finalists are showing how and acting now to reduce our impact on climate change and responding to those impacts we can’t avoid. As international leaders look to ratchet down global carbon emissions in advance of this year UN climate talks in Paris, they should look toward these cities for inspiration.”

About the Finalists:

Cleveland, Ohio
The City of Cleveland is striving to build “a green city on a blue lake.” Under Mayor Frank Jackson, the city is building a reputation among its peers for innovative and ambitious climate action. The city has been an active participant in the Earth Hour City Challenge from the program’s beginning in 2012, when it won the Earth Hour Climate Leadership Award and support from WWF for its Mayor’s Sustainability Summit which brought together over 500 Clevelanders for two days to guide the city’s green initiatives. This year, Cleveland is working with WWF on “Solarize Cleveland,” a program to bring rooftop solar to residents around the city and county.

“I am pleased that the City of Cleveland is being recognized as an Earth Hour City Challenge finalist for our greenhouse gas reduction targets. We see climate action as a key way to position Cleveland for the future as we transition to a more sustainable economy.”

Evanston, Illinois
Evanston is on its way to reaching its goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20 percent by 2016, a goal built upon Evanston’s success with their Climate Action Plan, adopted in 2008. Since then, Evanston has secured a 100 percent renewable energy program for all homes and small businesses, has set sustainability standards for new buildings, and installed solar panels on its water treatment facility. This year, Evanston is focusing on reducing transportation-related emissions by increasing bicycling infrastructure, education, and outreach, in addition to launching a bicycle share program across the community.

“Sustainability is more than just saving energy—it means creating and maintaining a livable, healthy and efficient community accessible to all residents,” said City of Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl. “We are honored to be a part of the Earth Hour City Challenge, along with Seattle and Cleveland. No matter the outcome, we are all winners in the sustainability movement.”

Seattle, Washington
The City of Seattle has long been a leader setting the bar for how cities can be great places to live while respecting their natural environment. Seattle has set an ambitious commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. To achieve this goal they have developed a comprehensive climate action plan that emphasizes actions within transport, buildings and waste. By 2020 they aim to reduce emissions from the city fleet by over 40 percent, equivalent to reducing 1 million gallons of fuel consumption annually. Seattle is already sourcing nearly 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources, but is still working to improve energy efficiency through innovative policy solutions and public private partnerships. One example is the Seattle 2030 District which aims to dramatically reduce environmental impacts of building construction and operations, and to showcase the positive business case for sustainable buildings.

“This recognition is an affirmation that Seattle is on the right path towards sustainability,” said Mayor Ed Murray. “Our residents and businesses understand that a climate friendly community is also a more prosperous and healthy community. We are responding to climate change today so that our city is well-positioned for the future.”

About World Wildlife Fund
WWF is the world’s leading conservation organization, working in 100 countries for nearly half a century. With the support of almost 5 million members worldwide, WWF is dedicated to delivering science-based solutions to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth, halt the degradation of the environment and combat climate change.

A Perfect Long Weekend in Healdsburg, Calif.

A wine expert's guide to three days in Sonoma County for feasting, strolling, shopping, sunning and sipping—without spending hours behind the wheel.

Ask a Healdsburg resident to describe this hamlet in northern Sonoma County and the reply will likely be couched in temporal terms: old Healdsburg or new? Before 2001, the town had family restaurants and local joints and just a sprinkling of visitors from far away. Then came the swanky Hotel Healdsburg and chef Charlie Palmer's acclaimed restaurant Dry Creek Kitchen—followed by boutiques, Michelin-starred eateries and, of course, tourists. Today Healdsburg is a remarkable synthesis of old and new—of small-town friendliness and big-city chic—of very good wine and equally good food. Here's what to do in Healdsburg and...
