I
have added REM/Design software and Passiv Haus PHPP software to
my work. RESNET and EPA Energy-Star certified reduced mortgages
can now be offered with HERS ratings. When you truly wish to reduce
your energy consumption and pollution, call me for a network of
testing, proof of value and performance energy audit handshake.c

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.
18
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.
