Awesome insights; as, eqally awesome (in scope) eco disasters looming just over the horizon.

FYI: I am being sent to both Kuwait and Israel in October and November of this year (speaking engagements / energy conferences / sometime time spent living and working within a kibbutz) to attempt in abating escalating conflicts over depletion of natural resources, particularly water. This will be done under the auspices of a truly revolutionary sector in earth / physical sciences- called biomimicry…

Google the subject. Its mind-blowing; finding patterns within nature, in any given clime or locale, and via engineering and physics insights- building structures to mimic the mysteries of flora and fauna in any gloabal; region to literally “mimic” their adaptation mechanisms of survival. These efforts will lead to how natural resources can and will be collected, stored, utilized, exhausted and managed in a very near future.

As the water sources in the middle-east vanish with startling speed, I hope to bring former enemies to the table where fiduciary obligations, cosmic ingenuity and a humamistic desires for their respective cultures to, ultimately, survive / win the day…

Fascinating.

Green and Sustainable Community Planning; or,
Successful Environmental Planning and Management will be my two primary avenues of approach.

Example: Since I will be initiating my lecture(s) in Kuwait, this is a model of the type of academic abstract allowing you an entrance into a foreign land to present your aims and goals- irrespective of how futuristic they may seem at this exact moment in time: the attainment of goals implies action; action implies field work, research, writing, power-point presentations, micro to macro thought, the nurturing of human(e) connections, etc.; if you want to be that proverbial “change” so ubiquitous in our sector’s lexicon to truly manifest itself- Its worth it!!!

Sample Abstract

“This paper extends Biomimicry research and development endeavours while addressing Kuwait’s arid climate and inexorably approaching resource capacity crises. I first generalize the complexities Biomimicry targets in relation to multi-dimensional energy and water veracities. Then, using the extant array of contextual mitigation options, I construct definitively layered applications oriented against an inert status quo; synergistic, risk aversions which allow for a symbiotic financial, social and environmental mutualism. These hypotheses will be computed efficiently using a sustainability charter consisting of governmental, business, and educational assets. The working demonstrations I will proffer, illustrative of urban sustainable best practices, will foreshadow a neo Islamic Renaissance within varied scientific and cultural quarters. Upon these progressive sector matrixes, may all Kuwaitis witness their past genius manifest again within an organically sane prologue”.

Send me some positive energy when its possible; I will need all you, collectively, can spare quite shortly.

Dream big and far and wide, my brothers and sisters; or not at all…
