One, focused on EO #22, is launching today, and another, focused on Bill&#8217;s passion for bicycles and bicycling, is launching next week.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bill Bishop, mechanical engineer, bicyclist, and inquisitive human.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bill sent along an email to several of his colleagues at his firm, as well as some in the broader world, to share his interest in and excitement with NYS Executive Order #22, which calls upon all NY government to lead by example in the climate goals of the state. It does so with a <em><strong>nested systems approach<\/strong><\/em>, realizing that our projects can protect our pollinators, for example, and that we cannot reduce waste if we buy wasteful things. Huh. Who knew?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thumb-BB.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4556\" src=\"https:\/\/2bgreener.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thumb-BB.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"273\" height=\"177\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We just HAD had to spend some time with Bill, and it was wonderful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We learned that this EO (NY state Executive Order #22, link provided below) is inspiring and daunting. We talked about some of the surprising aspects of the EO and some things that have been underway for a decade or two, ever since EO #111 which first cited LEED ratings as a goal for government work way back in 2001. And we talked about bicycles, elegant engineering, community, and more (as we often do).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Please join us for our video chat, or check out our podcast on Spotify and other players: @DiscoverSustainability<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Resources mentioned:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">New York State\u2019s Community Protection Act <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.ny.gov\/\"><span class=\"s2\">https:\/\/climate.ny.gov\/<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s4\">Executive Order 22 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/executive-order\/no-22-leading-example-directing-state-agencies-adopt-sustainability-and\"><span class=\"s5\">https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/executive-order\/no-22-leading-example-directing-state-agencies-adopt-sustainability-and<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s4\">EO111 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/executive-order\/no-111-declaring-disaster-emergency-state-new-york\"><span class=\"s5\">https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/executive-order\/no-111-declaring-disaster-emergency-state-new-york<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s4\">GreenNY Council <a href=\"https:\/\/ogs.ny.gov\/greenny\/greenny-council\"><span class=\"s5\">https:\/\/ogs.ny.gov\/greenny\/greenny-council<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">GreenNY website, listing the work and resources compiled over the last 15 years in NY state, work that has led to EO #22<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ogs.ny.gov\/greenny\"><span class=\"s6\">https:\/\/ogs.ny.gov\/greenny<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pathfinder Engineers &amp; Architects &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pathfinder-ea.com\/\">https:\/\/pathfinder-ea.com\/\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bill also sent along these YouTube channels to inspire and amuse!
