Food supply for 6.85 billion+ on the energy resources that did not support 1.6 billion in 1900 before we began to use petroleum is one of the challenges that our children will certainly face! I have been developing solutions to that and to Global Climate Change for the past 28 years in Europe, partly as a professor at Pasadena’s renowned Art Center College of Design’s Swiss campus. Please find my projects on my website at: http://www.greenmillennium.eu
Thank you very much for your consideration!
Yours sincerely,
