This document contains the Code of Conduct for Operation Noah's Ark Corporation (ONA). Some key points:
- The Code is based on ONA's principle of "Don't be evil" and sets high ethical standards for employees.
- Employees must follow the Code and can report any potential violations. There will be no retaliation against employees who report issues.
- The Code outlines how employees should serve users with integrity, respect privacy, be responsive, and take action when needed.
- Employees are expected to respect each other and foster a supportive work environment free of harassment or discrimination.
- Other sections provide guidance on avoiding conflicts of interest, maintaining confidentiality, protecting company assets, ensuring financial integrity
The document outlines the intent of Virginia procurement code section 2.2-4300 C, which is to ensure that government entities obtain high quality goods and services at a reasonable cost, conduct procurements in a fair and impartial manner, and provide open access to qualified vendors. It discusses how the intent is achieved through measures like developing clear specifications, openly communicating requirements, and establishing evaluation criteria in advance to promote transparency and competition.
This document is the Code of Conduct for Operation Noah's Ark Corporation (O.N.A.). It outlines the company's core principles of integrity and avoiding conflicts of interest. The Code discusses how employees should serve users, respect each other, avoid conflicts of interest, preserve confidentiality, protect assets, ensure financial integrity, obey laws, and who to contact with questions or concerns about the Code.
The document discusses whether Aetna Government Health Plans (AGHP) should be excluded from a competitive bid process due to hiring a former employee of the Tricare Management Activity (TMA) to help prepare their proposal. It analyzes this situation based on standards prohibiting even the appearance of impropriety between government agencies and contractors. It determines AGHP's proposal should be excluded and recommends TMA reevaluate all proposals, hold further discussions if needed, and thoroughly review the former employee's access to non-public information. It identifies the most critical factors bolstering the appearance of impropriety as TMA's lack of knowledge about the proposal team's access to non-public information, failure to accurately evaluate past performance
The economy as bathtub: a simple explanationStephen Hinton
The document presents an analogy that conceptualizes the economy as a system of circulating money between citizens, enterprises, governments, local authorities, and banks. It describes how money is added to the system through bank loans for things like houses and cars. However, it notes that much debt has accumulated as people have borrowed more than they can repay. It then discusses potential ways to tackle unemployment, such as citizens spending more or implementing incentives for more hiring, but acknowledges there are many objections to consider regarding actual implementation.
This document discusses the need to shift from a "culture of fear" to a "culture of safety and sufficiency" in order to address issues like climate change and economic instability. It proposes focusing on local economies through the "Five P's" - Place, People, Products, Projects, and Payment systems. This approach aims to change the underlying narratives that fuel negative cultures based on scarcity, competition, and powerlessness. Local initiatives bringing people together around food, skills sharing, and celebration can help combine aspects of a "danger culture" focused on risk with a "peace culture" focused on community and positivity.
Market based incentives to drive circularityStephen Hinton
This document provides an overview of market-based instruments for advancing the circular economy. It describes how the economy can be viewed as a set of bathtubs with money flowing between citizens, enterprises, government and municipalities. Various types of market incentives are discussed, including subsidies, taxes, fees and trading schemes. The document emphasizes that instruments work best when implemented holistically to address market failures and incentivize circular products and services while ensuring a just transition. Upstream levies on extraction and imports are recommended, and research is needed on indicators to measure the effects of these market-based approaches to circularity.

1) The document describes land degradation issues in several regions and initiatives to address them.
2) In Northwest Zimbabwe, overgrazing has led to soil erosion, inability to hold water, and increased drought and flooding. The African Centre for Holistic Management mimics grazing patterns to reverse degradation.
3) In Eastern Cape, South Africa, lowered water tables caused soil loss and food insecurity. The Living Lands initiative restored land through tree planting, river restoration, and sustainable practices.
(In Swedish) this slide pack explains how the ITK voluntary currency works - how it needs no clearing and how it can be used to drive projects where there are no resources available to get started.
Instead of seeing how we live as being a burden on the Earth, and the dire prospects of having to give up comfort, AVBP explores how tell the story of how to reverse the trend with a positive, feasible view of a sustainable future in a city?

Flexible fees from a strategic sustainability perspectiveStephen Hinton
This document discusses strategic sustainable development and flexible fees from The Natural Step framework. It proposes that flexible fees, when combined with robust sustainability principles, can help accelerate the transition to sustainability by providing both incentives and funding. However, further exploration is needed regarding assumptions, objectives beyond resource flows, and policy landscape improvements. The Natural Step framework takes a systems perspective and provides a unifying structure to guide strategic planning and indicator development from local to global scales.
(In Swedish) presented at the Nordic Council of Minister's workshop on sustainable consumption and production, it gives a bakground to the idea of charging progressively more for substances and activities that pollute.
The document discusses Nordic cooperation on sustainable consumption and production. It outlines focus areas for an SCP working group such as resource efficiency, environmentally driven markets, and cleaner technologies and innovations. Specific priorities are mentioned like policy instruments for eco-design, public procurement, and using procurement to promote cleantech and energy efficiency in construction.
Describes how governments can put flexible emission fees into place to rapidly transistion from the polluting society without harming the overall economy.

Eco village culture to and industrial economy city culture r1Stephen Hinton
The document compares life in an industrial economy city to an eco-village. In an industrial economy city, people live in large buildings built by others far away using materials shipped in. Food comes from large, processed corporations. Interactions are limited and decisions are made by distant elites. In an eco-village, people build their own homes and community together from local materials. Food is produced and consumed locally and seasonally. Everyone knows each other and makes decisions collectively. Work follows natural rhythms rather than constant activity.
