This work centered around the character and storyline of Green Ninja, a climate-action superhero who helps kids understand what they can do to make a difference.

and Regional Governing Bodies<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Daniel Fernandez<\/p>\n<p>A program to enhance sustainable practices established at the University of Oregon is spreading throughout dozens of campuses nationally and internationally.\u00a0 This program involves formalized yearly partnerships between campuses and regional governing bodies, typically city governments.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, city governments and campuses function quite independently from each other.\u00a0 \u00a0Campuses offer cutting-edge educational opportunities for their students that typically do not address or integrate the needs of their partner cities.\u00a0 Conversely, city governments have enormous responsibilities for maintaining and improving the environment of their residents and often do not have sufficient resources, capital, or access to new and innovative ideas that may enhance policies, practices, procedures and projects that they are responsible for.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, city governments, while often theoretically supportive of projects that enhance regional sustainability, often lack the necessary bandwidth to pursue such projects that extend beyond the status quo of regular operations.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the Sustainable City Year Program, a partnership between a campus, such as CSU Monterey Bay, and a partner city, which was the City of Salinas from 2015-2017 and will be the City of Seaside from 2017-2018.\u00a0 \u00a0Through this program during the 2016-2017 school year, 11 classes across campus participated in the program from disciplines as diverse as teacher education, business, journalism, environmental studies, and statistics.\u00a0\u00a0 The instructor for each course integrated a sustainability-based project within her\/his curriculum based upon the stated needs of the city partner and students within each class generated and followed through on the associated projects.\u00a0\u00a0 The City provided funding to support each instructor in their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This program\u2019s benefits are multi-faceted.\u00a0\u00a0 One clear benefit is that it provides students with relevant learning experiences that directly benefit the regional community\/city in some aspect that works toward enhanced sustainability and livability.\u00a0\u00a0 Another is that it provides the City with support to promote enhanced sustainability within the scope of their operations.\u00a0 It enhances the often rather limited connections between regional governing entities and their neighboring universities.\u00a0 It also opens opportunities for employment for university students and sets up a pipeline of potential hires for the governing bodies, which tend to have an aging workforce.\u00a0\u00a0 Finally, and perhaps most relevant, it opens the door to sustainable ideas that the city can pursue in its operations that it may not have even considered prior.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><div  style='height:100px' class='hr
