Dear Friends,
During my first year as the new President and CEO of Global Green USA, I have been struck by the tremendous impact of our
organization upon sustainability and the environment, but more importantly upon the people whose lives we touch and transform.
While the scope of the environmental challenges we face can seem daunting, I have witnessed firsthand the differences organizations
like Global Green can make towards creating a healthy sustainable environment where people can thrive.
Building upon the significant success of our programs and projects over the last 20 years, our Board and Staff are now envisioning all
the ways we can take our initiatives to greater scale and impact for the next 20 years. We will continue to successfully develop and
deliver fiscally sound programs that operate with the core value of organizational excellence and tangibly improve the lives of lowincome and minority communities most at risk from climate change and environmental pollution. To that end, I am pleased that our
Board has adopted the Global Green 2.0 strategic plan that outlines our key focus areas for the next five years in Green Urbanism and
Climate Change & Resilience. The scope of our work under these two areas will allow us to continue our high impact programs and
projects including:
•
EnergySmart – Educating students throughout greater New Orleans on energy basics and conservation resulting
in a reduction in energy use and savings to parents in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. We aspire to
bring this model to other cities throughout the US.
•
Green Multi-Family projects – Transforming Koreatown, Little Tokyo, South LA and other underserved
neighborhoods of Los Angeles by introducing green building and design that save residents money while improving
their health.
•
Resource Recovery - Working through our New York and San Francisco offices to continue to partner with both
the public and private sectors to reduce packaging and food waste through design and collaborative efforts that
significantly reduce carbon pollution.
•
Water Wise NOLA - Educating community members about the importance of water conservation, water run-off,
and impacts of water on flooding and drought via the introduction of rain gardens and rain barrels.
In addition to these initiatives, we continue our Solar for Sandy project in New York City, now working in conjunction with National Grid,
which will result in off grid power structures using solar panel systems in up to five community centers throughout the northeast to
provide emergency shelter and services for communities weathering through the next major storm, while dramatically reducing the daily
energy bills of these community resources.
With 80% of the U.S. population living in cities and 40% in at-risk coastal areas which will continue to be impacted by climate change,
Global Green is at the forefront of responding to the most pressing needs of our communities. However, our work and its impact will
be limited unless we continue to educate young people about ways they can help to create sustainable communities where they live.
Beginning in 2015, education of students and community leaders will also be a core component to all of our work.
While environmental sustainability helps to protect our planet, our ability to be successful with Green Urbanism and combating climate
change rests with the sustainable philanthropy that our individual, corporate, and foundation supporters provide.
Our challenges are many, but with your dedicated support we have proven over the last 20 years we can make a significant difference.
Our goal is to have an even bigger impact over the next 20 years. Sustainable philanthropy that provides a return on investment from
this organization will allow us to continue to demonstrate that together we can make a difference for our people and our planet.
Sincerely,
Les McCabe, Ph.D
President and CEO

Everything we do at Global Green USA to create greener homes,
schools, and cities benefits the lives of people living, working and
learning in their communities, the places they call home. We also
work to improve the lives of people and future generations by
greening our current surroundings and protecting and preserving
our environment and the planet as a whole.
We invite you to explore the following pages, where you will
experience a snapshot of the many catalytic initiatives we undertook
in 2014 to help the PEOPLE, PLACES and the PLANET in need.

PEOPLE
Global Green USA is committed to improving the lives
of people in need while transforming communities
and reducing resource use. Here are some of the
ways we worked toward those goals in 2014.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION:
BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL
At Global Green USA, we believe in building sound sustainability
habits early. This has become a cornerstone of our Green School
Initiative and in 2014, we selected Boston Latin School as the
winner of our national Green School Competition in partnership
with hair care company Pureology.
As a result of our efforts, Boston Latin School conducted a
comprehensive, student-led Green School Makeover. From the
hydroponic growing lab to water bottle filling stations to the
Lucid Building Dashboard, the school’s new sustainability-focused
features help develop its students’ environmental awareness and
position Boston Latin as a model for schools across the country.
“Students are learning the importance of sustainability, how
to work with hydroponics, and will be able to track our energy
performance throughout our school to target further energy
reductions,” said Cate Arnold, Faculty Advisor at Boston Latin
School.

Mentoring Hynes Charter School Recycling Rangers To Win
USGBC Green Schools Challenge
In Louisiana, the Hynes Charter
School Recycling Rangers, mentored
by Global Green staffers Robyn
Munici and Monica Rowand and
led by Hynes teacher Alex Lelarge,
won the elementary category of the
USGBC Louisiana Green Schools
Challenge. Winners were announced
on Earth Day after a six-month long
challenge that took place between
October 2013 and March 2014.

STUDENTS
Across New Orleans, sixth
grade students learned
valuable science lessons
that helped their families
make responsible energy use
decisions and discover how
to save money on household
utility bills.

Thanks to Energy Smart New
Orleans, a program developed
by the New Orleans City
Council, Global Green USA’s
NOLA staff taught over 1,000
students the concept of energy
efficiency, giving them the
knowledge and tools needed
to begin reducing energy
usage. After two days of
classroom discovery, students
received a Be Energy Smart Kit
containing four CFL bulbs, two
faucet aerators, one low-flow
showerhead and one LED night
light; then they were asked
to put their new ‘smarts’ to
work by installing the energy
efficient items at home and
documenting their success back
in the classroom.
SHARING LESSONS LEARNED
FROM SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSESSMENTS
Green Urbanism Program
Director Walker Wells
participated in the 2014
EcoDistricts Incubator in
Portland, OR as one of the
invited facilitators. Each year
the Incubator brings together
a select group of communities
from around North America
to take a deep dive into the
EcoDistricts framework.
Walker worked with local
leaders from the San Diego 6
non-profit organization PB
Beautiful, a group created to
complement the work of the
area’s business improvement
district. Over the three-day
incubator, Walker was able
to share a variety of lessons
learned from the 20 Sustainable
Neighborhood Assessments
that Global Green has
completed over the past three
years, as well as knowledge
about the unique issues related
to beach communities through
our involvement over the years
with the City of Santa Monica
Sustainable City Program.
Some initial ideas included
framing the Pacific Beach
effort around Health, Mobility,
Economic Vitality, and Access
to Nature.

CREATING WATER WISE IN NOLA
New Orleanians treasure their neighborhoods and
each one of those 70+ communities has something
unique to offer. Global Green has a history of
working neighborhood to neighborhood in New
Orleans to share best practices with residents so that
their neighborhood can be more resilient. While
the focus has been on energy efficiency, Global
Green is now engaging residents around wise water
management through the use of green infrastructure.
Water Wise NOLA is an initiative funded by the New
Orleans Sewerage and Water Board, the EPA and
the Foundation for Louisiana, composed of water
professionals and concerned citizens who seek to
make a change of how rainwater is managed in
New Orleans. We work closely with residents in
neighborhoods experiencing chronic flooding issues
in hosting Water Wise Workshops, Rain Barrel Builds,
Stormwater Home Assessments and Rain Garden
Demonstrations. By offering residents a wide variety
of workshops from lecture style to getting their hands
dirty, we hope to create action in our community
to manage rainwater so that our neighborhoods

PLACES
Global Green USA creates catalytic projects to serve as models for helping create sustainabile
communities and identifies policy and financial solutions to bring them to scale. Whether
spearheading the effort to improve classrooms for kids, rebuilding green in disaster-stricken areas,
or helping low-income residents improve their neighborhoods, Global Green is on the ground,
directly involved and hands-on.

LITTLE TOKYO
MAKES A BIG SPLASH FOR
SUSTAINABILITY
At the national Clinton Global Initiative meeting,
EcoDistricts announced the nine Target Cities
projects chosen to participate in its two-year
partnership designed to create models for
district-scale urban revitalization. Based on
progress achieved to date, the Little Tokyo
community in Downtown Los Angeles was
selected as one of the Target Cities projects.
At Global Green, we were glad to see this
happen because in the past two years, we
have provided Little Tokyo guidance on
sustainable neighborhood planning, integrated
infrastructure, and we participated in the
Community Charrette. In the year ahead, we will
continue to support the Sustainable Little Tokyo
efforts by providing the technical expertise of
our Green Urbanism Program staff to explore
and evaluate innovative concepts to supply Little
Tokyo with clean energy, capture and treat storm
water, and promote development that enhances
the cultural and social equity aspects of the area.
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR
SANTA MONICA
We believe that one of the most critical aspects of a
sustainable community is affordable, healthy and convenient
transportation. For several years, our Policy team has worked
with the city of Santa Monica to bring bike sharing to Southern
California. Recognizing the need to address the growing
problems of air pollution, traffic congestion, first-mile-last-mile
connections to public transit, and an increasingly unhealthy
population, the city is moving towards launching a Bike Share
program in 2015. We are proud to be a part of this program.

PLANNING & GREEN BUILDING:
MODELS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our mission and
strategic plan. Thank you to the following organizations
for recognizing our continued work in sustainable urban
planning and green building:
CORNFIELD ARROYO
SECO SPECIFIC PLAN
SUSTAINABLE
LITTLE TOKYO
KALOS
PROJECT
10
The Cornfields Arroyo Seco Specific Plan in Northeast
LA was awarded first prize for Comprehensive
Planning by the Los Angeles Chapter of the American
Planning Association (APA). Global Green led the
LEED for Neighborhood Development certification for
this project that is slated to transform northeast LA.
Sustainable Little Tokyo also received a planning
award from the Los Angeles APA. Global Green
contributed to the green infrastructure opportunities
assessment for this effort to explore how Little
Tokyo can become more energy and water efficient,
economically resilient, and make the most of pending
development on several parcels adjacent to the new
regional connector light rail station.
The Kalos Project was selected by the U.S. Green
Building Council as the 2013 Outstanding Affordable
Project award winner. Global Green was the Green
Rater for this project that is bringing best practices
in integrated design to 83 low-income families in the
North Park neighborhood of San Diego.

HOLY CROSS PROJECT:
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & CLIMATE ACTION CENTER
Global Green was recognized by Time Magazine
in 2009 for our efforts to green New Orleans
post-Katrina. At the Holy Cross Project, our
sustainability village in the Lower 9th Ward,
we are moving towards the completion of a
Community Development & Climate Action
Center (CDCAC), featured on the cover. In 2014
the building shell, including SIP walls, hurricane
rated windows and standing seam metal roof
was completed.
The CDCAC will be a multi-use facility with solar
battery backup that will house Global Green’s
New Orleans offices, community meeting and
Top: Les McCabe inside CDCAC
conference space, a visitor center, and a fresh
food corner store.
The approaching hurricane season underlines
the urgency to get the CDCAC up and operating
in a community still recovering and rebuilding
almost 10 years after Hurricane Katrina. In case
of a natural or manmade disaster, the Center’s
rainwater harvesting system and backup solar
power will be an integral part of response and
recovery in the city, providing emergency power
for refrigeration, lights and communication,
serving as a lifeline for the Lower 9th Ward.

Global Green USA focuses on creating a value shift
toward a sustainable future for humanity, and to
do that we need to ensure we have a healthy planet
to sustain life on Earth. From the restoration of
wetlands to the retrofitting of homes with green
energy solutions to innovative and effective
answers to the ever-present challenge of green
waste disposal. Global Green USA engages on the
ground and in the meetings that matter for the
future habitability of our planet.
12
PLANET
CAN YOU SAY
COMPOST?
After construction and demolition debris, food
scraps are the largest municipal waste stream
in the country, typically accounting for 30 to 50
percent of a city’s landfilled waste. When food
scraps go to the landfill, they release methane, a
greenhouse gas 34 times more potent than CO2.
Composting not only diverts food scraps from
landfills, but also returns nutrients to soil and
helps it retain water. While residential food scrap
composting is beginning to take hold in major
U.S. cities, multi-family buildings present unique
challenges: many stakeholders are involved
and multiple tenants share collection bins,
limiting the ability to reward high-performing
households.
Our team saw the opportunity for some
strategic food scrap collection projects and
facilitated and documented pilot projects
for various multi-family buildings, helping to
increase momentum around residential food
scrap collection programs across the country.

Joining President
in Advan
On May 9th, Global Green USA joined President Obama in
Mountain View, CA to announce over 300 public and private
commitments to advancing solar deployment, as part of the
President’s vision for increased investment in energy efficiency
and renewable energy (see #ActOnClimate). Drawing on our
expertise in green building for affordable housing, Global Green
USA made a commitment to solar installations across California
that will collectively total 1MW by 2017.
In fulfilling this commitment, Global Green’s Green Affordable
Housing Initiative will offer integrative design counsel to up to six
affordable housing projects per year in the Bay Area, Los Angeles
and San Diego, each of which will include an average of 50 kW
solar – the system size typically installed to meet annual common
area demands.
We were invited by the White House to make this commitment
based on our history of more than 2,000 solar units already
installed and certified in projects, including the first two LEED
Platinum Zero Energy Affordable Housing projects in California,

ncing Solar Power
Los Vecinos, Chula Vista:
One of the first two LEED Platinum Certified Zero Energy Affordable Housing projects in
California, the 42-unit development meets nearly all its electricity demand through 93 kW of
on-site solar power. The project, located on the site of a former motel that had the largest
number of police calls for any single address in Chula Vista, is a testament to what can be
accomplished by a determined development and design team that stands by its commitment
to extremely high performance standards. The project continues to educate residents on
healthy, low impact living.
Cabrillo Gateway at Century Villages, Long Beach:
Cabrillo Gateway will feature 80 permanent supportive homes as well as a federally-qualified
health clinic within the Century Villages campus. Century Villages at Cabrillo provides housing
for up to 1,000 veteran and non-veteran families, individuals, youth and children to help
end the cycle of homelessness. In addition to both transitional and permanent housing, the
community offers a range of supportive services to encourage health & wellness, personal
development and restoration of hope.
Cathedral Gardens, Oakland:
Centrally located near downtown and public transit, Cathedral Gardens offers 100 affordable
rental apartment homes to families. In addition to providing outdoor recreation space for
tenants, the development includes an after school homework center, computer learning lab,
and a community room.
Taylor Yard, NE Los Angeles:
This 68-unit affordable family housing project and associated infrastructure is included in the
24-acre Taylor Yard Redevelopment. The mixed-use, transit-oriented redevelopment design
includes a network of pedestrian-friendly streets and blocks, supporting revitalization in
Northeast Los Angeles.

HURRICANE SANDY
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy delivered a devastating
blow to the East Coast, becoming the most
notorious storm since Hurricane Katrina
ambushed Louisiana in 2005. The destruction
wrought by Sandy served as a reminder that
Mother Nature must not be underestimated. At
Global Green USA, our response to Katrina was
our Holy Cross Project, a catalytic development
that includes five LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) Homes and our
Community Development and Climate Action
Center (currently under construction) that will
serve as a hub for climate solutions both in
Louisiana and across the country.
Similarly, after Hurricane Sandy we implemented
our Solar for Sandy Initiative, encouraging
16
Top: Red Hook Rec Center solar installation
resiliency against future super storms by
installing solar panels with a battery back up in
order to provide first responders and residents
with a place to go for basic needs in the
Rockaways and Red Hook, NY.
As we move past the two year anniversary
of Sandy, we continue to look for innovative
solutions to support those affected by it, and
to encourage environmentally friendly lifestyle
choices in people throughout the country, so
that we can be more resilient in the future.
We can never forget the impact of Hurricane
Sandy, but must instead use it as a motivation to
continue our work towards a more secure and
sustainable future.
