Graduate Degree: Harvard Kennedy School Undergraduate Degree: Wesleyan University Areas of Interest: Environmental policy Mentor: Vivian Li, Executive director of the Boston Harbor Association Agency: Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Supervisor: Eric Friedman, Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Project Description: Amy created a protocol for conducting an annual greenhouse gas inventory for state agencies, researched sustainability indicators, wrote a memo on outdoor lighting policy, and contributed to a state report on dioxin. She also helped put together a fact sheet on sustainable design, researched all sorts of sustainability factoids, and searched for many fun things on the web. After her placement, Amy Dain is headed up a project co-sponsored by the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston and the Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research studying housing regulations and creating an on-line database. This comprehensive Internet database provides the information necessary to understand regulatory issues in every city and town in Massachusetts. By making the regulatory regime for housing "transparent" – clear and visible to all – opinion leaders and policy makers will have the tools they need to understand and act. |
