We believe that issues create opportunities, and that for every problem there is a solution.  Sensible design is all we need.

ISSUE:  PLASTIC IN THE ENVIRONMENT

SOLUTION 1:  Plastic is made from oil.  Fuel is made from oil.  Turn plastic into Fuel.

SOLUTION 2:  Because plastic is oil it burns.  Gasification turns plastic into electricity without pollution.

SOLUTION 3:  The Water Bottle Refill Program reduces the amount of plastic bottles used

SOLUTION 4:  BAN THE BAG, AND BOTTLE!

ISSUE: HUMAN WASTE POLLUTION

SOLUTION 1:  Compost Toilets use no water and process human waste into fertilizer.

SOLUTION 2:  Biogas digesters convert organic material into methane gas which can be used like natural gas.

ISSUE:  UNSAFE DRINKING WATER

SOLUTION 1:  Slow Sand Filters are cheap to build from locally available materials and filter 99% of harmful bacteria.

SOLUTION 2:  Teach the children to keep the land clean and we will have long term solutions.
