Systems of Sustainability and Zero Waste Initiatives led by Gunter Pauli.
Gunter Pauli of www.ZERI.org, Zero Emissions Research Initiative, of Belgium, leads international economic development projects based on sound science in ecology with 3000 leaders in applied natural solutions to industrial and environmental impacts.
Yes, through ZERI projects being demonstrated around the globe, we most definitely are now able to solve solid waste, sewage treatment, energy, pollution, and sustainability impacts while, at the same time, creating jobs and products working with natural cluster systems. Gunter Pauli has worked with the Swedish National Academy of Sciences, the United Nations Development Program, the USA EPA, Rocky Mountain Institute, many governments, including China, the Village of Gaviotas, Columbia, and Brazil, Figi, Japan and Italy, and right here in New Mexico with Forestry and Buffalo at Picuris Pueblo.
Lynda Taylor of Santa Fe, New Mexico, www.sci-zerinm.org, spoke on Picuris Pueblo.
Engineers Without Borders from Fort Lewis College, Durango, spoke on water filtration.
Public Works Director for Durango, Colorado, spoke on their sewage treatment plant.
David Schaller, EPA, spoke on the resource assessment of Pueblo, Colorado.
Let us now roll up our sleeves and set about the true sustainability we are capable of right here in our own communities and working with the natural processes of the biospere the way that the earth itself was designed, with all 5 realms of organic life, and at ambient temperature, pressure, and with zero waste.
When I turn to my homefront in the Rio Abajo of Valencia County, New Mexico and the needs of the people, the land, forestry, roads, housing and economic development, I now know that the lost history of vineyards, sheeping, trade, forestry, along with technology and new industries are far more than possible, they are now a certain necessity of future. We must talk and we must educate and we must spread the good news together. New Mexico can become a national leader due to our progressive leadership, labs and schools, the relatively unspoiled landscape, natural resources, and low density of population yet.

Educating A Nation: The Natural Step A remarkable nation-wide program unites Sweden in moving from linear to cyclic processes - the hallmark of sustainability by Karl-Henrik Robčrt One of the articles in Making It Happen (IC#28) Spring 1991, Page 10 Copyright (c)1991, 1996 by Context Institute
Imagine the following: The scientists of an entire nation come to consensus on the roots of our environmental problems and the most critical avenues for action. The nation's head of state then gives his endorsement to their consensus report. An educational packet based on that report is prepared and sent to every household and school, so that citizens and students can learn the basics of sustainability. Then a roster of famous artists and celebrities goes on television to promote and celebrate the birth of this remarkable national project - a project that, in the long run, promises to completely reorganize the nation's way of life to bring it into alignment with the laws of nature.
10 years after the initiation of Natural Step, and now with the emerging globalization raids on the remaining resources, business leaders, scientists, and technologists are demonstrating sustainable natural systems solutions, while creating jobs and doing more with what was being wasted. It is only natural, economical, and common sense.

24 Scholarly Mud Freaks gathered from 4 countries and across the U.S. near Big Bend State Park, on the high desert outside Presidio, Texas, saying, "Look, Mom, we made a small house, --without any wood! without any steel, without any concrete! Well, a wood door and window. Recycled glass bottles made dancing prisms as small scattered skylights!"

Conservation Ranch Work: www.heritage-ranch.com, Deer Canyon Preserve , Mountainair, NM ... I must now report that Deer Canyon is no longer a preserve but, an exclusive gated community without a biologist's oversight. My sitework with 3 clients was not recognized within the larger watershed goals. Albeit that some original principles in this endeavor came from the renowned www.quiviracoalition.org the subsequent development does not.
