I use journalism & other media
in an effort to create what I call environMENTALism™
I've also added what I call a 'Symbiotic
Shoppingtm'
area to try to raise funds to help meet the costs of presenting
this website (nobody pays me to do this).
The
idea is to get consumers. (meaning YOU!; unless you don't eat, drink,
breathe, or buy anything, ever), to simultaneously upgrade self
& planet by supporting progressive businesses that use environmentally
conscious practices in the production of advanced goods & services.
Learn about these issues by clicking the topic links on the top
of each page, or by considering my E=C2
equation,
devised to encapsulate my philosophy
for peaceful macro economic & cultural progression.. OR jump
to the News Features page to see a quick
list of my articles on these issues.
I'm just one idealistic guy (read
about me), who thinks he can do something to
help save what's left of the planet from the unconsciously consuming
humans ;-> , so help support this work by Symbio
- Shopping tm
for technoculturally advanced products
in my MindfulMall tm
where you can find cutting-edge products to show to off to our fellow
humankind to hopefully lure them into conscious consumerism. I've
deduced that the largest impact an individual can make is by transforming
their homes & businesses to renewable
energy systems. I'm therefore working less as a journalist
/ educator & more toward becoming an Energy
Consultant involved in the direct
sale of such systems.. Besides I have to do something to support
all the work I do on this site or it's over.
When you get done exploring the site you may want to play around
on the Viridian
REVELution site I created to interact with my book.
You get a free Interactive E-Book that live links to
the Viridian
REVELution site when you buy the
print version.

our biosphere.
This
is not your typical, environmentalism. So click whatever interests
you or check the businesses listed in the right column. These go
to other sites, so please bookmark me
& come back. Learn, interact, live well & prosper via truly
higher technologies. Drop
me a line to let me know what you think, or let everyone know
what you think in the
community section. Stop waiting for government & industry
to clean things up... YOU ARE, as I AM,
partly responsible for the messy state of this lone planet by what
WE CHOOSE to consume. We're all in this 2gether.. In Love

Still
confused? Read Jacob's quote to the left &
contemplate how this site intends to, through various methods, integrate
humankind's consumption behaviors into both the biosphere &
technosphere. I hope you'll then interact with this site to accomplish
this lofty goal. (See more mission
statement ramblings below).

The Environmentally Conscious Consumers
Network is dedicated to helping consumers find news & info'
for use in making globally conscientious choices in the marketplace.
The intent is to help create an affluent, sustainable techno-culture
based in renewable energy & natural capitalism. "The
aim is to give consumers the information they need to make those
decisions as well as a shopping
area to begin supporting natural capitalist businesses
immediately.
Envision
an economy that gratifies humanity's desires better than current
systems do without destroying humanity's life support systems
in the process. This is possible with the collective consumer
consciousness focused on this outcome.
As you shop here or anywhere, envision a balanced,
renewable resource market economy where business supplies the
products society needs at a fair price while not destroying the
natural resource base. Then support only businesses similarly
focused.
It's time consumers realize
their strength. 'We, The Consumers', are powerful masses
shaping our world each time we make a purchase. We can conscientiously
vote for change with our dollars everyday. I hope this site will
empower consumers with several ways to co-create positive change.
In our capitalistic marketplace,
manufacturers have always sought to quickly respond to the will
of the masses (demand) with a product (supply) that beats out
the competition's. This can be the key to peaceful mass change.
My
grandiose vision for this site is that it will somehow touch off
a chain reaction experiment in economic democracy where the consumer
is constantly engaged in corporate futurism & driving product
development to meet their needs. The goal is to help form &
thereby "own" the next industrial revolution, keeping
in mind that 'We, The Consumers' bare partial responsibility
for its consequences; because as long as we're stuck on this 3rd
stone from the sun, We're truly all in this together..
Sound crazy? Well, maybe so,
but I can't think
of anything better to do with my time
right now, so I'll aim high, shoot & hope others will join
in my idyllic vision. Click
here to read about mE & why I've taken on this idyllic
quest.

I believe an informed consumer culture will help
a growing trend of "natural capitalism" take root in more
companies by creating a demand for cleaner, more efficient products
& services. This can help bring an urgently needed, energy efficient,
new industrial revolution to fruition.
This site is part of a
portal of others I'm developing to foster a culture of consumers
who use their dollars to vote for a healthier, wealthier future
for themselves & their children. Towards that end, I hope you
will become involved with this virtual
community & my social engineering/planetary transformation
mission by contributing
your insights, ideas for stories, & your wisdom. This site is
set up to be yours, So become part of it.. That's why the apostrophe
is after the "S" in Conscious Consumers' Network. It's
plural possessive, so make it yours.
You may be asking, what the heck can I do?
Meet others & express
your opinion
in our community area. Or start directly getting behind the
mission, & support natural capitalist
& socially responsible businesses by doing some browsing/shopping
in the "Mindful Mall."
Click the "News & Issues links at the top of the page to
educate yourself on the many things you can do to make your personal
world better while making the whole world better. C2
= C-squared. By this I am trying to
state my belief that there can be exponential
benefits from small actions on a mass basis. Check
the equation I formulated to encapsulate this idea.
You may also contribute
to the letters & opinion area. Report
any errors & omissions you find in
my articles. Also, please share this site
with family, friends, & as many other people as you can. Above
all we hope you will learn, live long & prosper.
This site is growing. Please sign up
for the e-mail group to
get updates. Or just aimlessly click around to see how "We
The Consumers" can participate in co-creating positive
change for ourselves & our neighbors.. And if you think you
can help me with anything, please contact
me. I'm just one guy with a big, idyllic vision & I need
all the help I can get to keep me going with the crazy idea that
someone might still care about reality instead of just reality T.
