  1. Networked Neighborhoods For Eco-Conservation Online (NECO) Climate Tools Café Webinar Jeremiah Asher Institute of Water Research Michigan State University May 3, 2012 NECO Developed by: The Institute of Water Research at Michigan State University Funded by: The Great Lakes Protection Fund Co-Authors: Lois Wolfson, Glenn O’Neil, Jeff Grabill, Cliff Lampe, Shuang Tong, and Yi Shi

  2. Presentation Overview Introduction to NECO 1 3 4 2 Importance of the Project Features and functions of the website Questions

  3. Overview of NECO Project Web site for collecting, sharing, mapping, and reporting green practices or low impact developments in neighborhoods across the Great Lakes Unique concept of clustering online social networking, collaborative effort, and individual competitive rivalry, to increase adoption of green practices Project Goals Increase effectiveness of existing environmental groups and orgs. Motivate individuals to adopt environmentally beneficial behaviors Manage stormwater runoff through the adoption of green practices Improve the health of the Great Lakes by reducing sediment and nutrients entering rivers and streams Networked Neighborhoods for Eco-Conservation Online

  4. Green Practices

  5. Effects of Sediment and Nutrients from unmanaged stormwater runoff Excess nutrients cause overgrowth of algae Army Corps of Engineers dredges: -4 million cubic yards of sediment -400,000 truck loads -$20 million annually

  6. Uses of NECO Empowers local grass roots organizations to inventory, share, and summarize the benefits of their efforts visually and numerically Provides a platform for individuals and companies to showcase green practices Utilizes practical low impact practices that homeowners, businesses, and communities can use to address stormwater runoff 2 4 5 1 3 Produces a scalable framework to build new or expanded applications First time opportunity to start at time zero, and provide a way to measure change • Number of practices • Total water managed • Nutrient reductions • Sediment reductions
