Module 11

 

Describe the community in which your CP operates… is it a city, a town, a rural area? My CP is in Greenville South Carolina it is a city in the urban area. From what I have gathered about the community there is that they are all focused on finding funding for their organizations and trying to survive the Covid-19 pandemic financially, like any other business in the world right now. They have a pro-business mind set in the community.

What kind of mayor does the community have (describe with reference to the structures outlined in your textbook)? From what I have found online Greenville County has a strong-mayor-council structure, as he appears to be an active major thus far.

Does that form of mayor seem appropriate for the community? It is kind of hard for me to decided this, since I have not lived in the community and have not experienced/seen this mayor’s actions for myself, but he is pro-business. That makes me wonder if my CP is having a harder time getting money from the Greenville council because they are investing in something else that is business oriented.  

Why or why not? From what I have gathered online the city has benefited from the way the mayor operates, as they have been named one of the best cities to live on some magazine. Does your CP interact with local government officials? From our talks, yes, she knows some of the government officials personally or knows someone that could get in contact with them. She tries to have a connection with the local government as well. If you want anything done for your non-profit organization, you have to know people to get things done.

 

Section b:

California’s Climate Change Scoping Plan encourages local governments to reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 15% and increase that percentage every 10 years or so, as they want to be carbon neutral by 2045. Support a clean energy economy, provided an equitable future/less pollution for all communities, improve people’s health by reducing air and water pollution. California’s climate policy portfolio: double building efficiency, 50% renewable power, renewable fuels, zero or near-zero emission vehicles, cleaner freight and goods movement, slash potent “super-pollutants” from dairies, cap emissions from businesses, invest in communities to reduce emissions.
