Achieving Eco-nomic Security* In Your Region Or Country.

non-sustainable economy of any particular region or country can be
gracefully transformed into an economy ripe with business and employment

"Currently, the San Diego/Tijuana Region Exports around $6 billion each
year out of the Regional economy to purchase imported water (90%), food
(90%), and energy (98%). To the degree we can generate business
opportunities by employing people to make the Region more energy and
water efficient and more water, food, and energy self-sufficient, we can
capture that $6 billion. Since the people and businesses earning this
money, for the most part, live here, most of the money they earn will be
spent here, strengthening the Regional economy on all fronts.

I believe that we can capture all of that $6 billion at a better return
on investment than a reasonably safe money market fund. But, even if we
can capture only half of it, it would give birth to an expanding,
dynamic construction industry for the next forty years. Additionally,
it would make the region less vulnerable to cut-offs of water, food, or
energy resulting from accidental or intentional human acts, or from
natural phenomenon like earthquakes and floods."

If you would like to find out more about the business and employment
opportunities that developing a sustainable Regional economy can create,
don't miss this presentation and discussion.

ecological foundation upon which they ultimately rest.  The term
