Changing our environment starts with changing our thought processes- the easiest way to alter behavior is to increase monetary gain. People respond most readily to initiatives that effect the bottom line.

The effects of farming, logging and construction on our watersheds have shape the land as powerfully as any hurricane or tornado.

Technology and fashion are constantly shifting resource consumption. Remember Polyester?
Lets not let that happen again.
