Sustainability Consulting
42
Offering:
- Diverse conversation, evaluation, and/or functional ideas relating to sustainability on all scales and in all reference frames.
- System design and low-cost prototype/experimentation recommendations.
- Conversation focused on defining and considering the complex idea of "sustainability", as well as applying that fundamental idea in the most useful way that we can toward your personal intent.
You can have the most amazing infrastructure in the world, but if you are not personally interested in those outcomes by those methods, then it will not be sustainable for you.
Feel free to propose trades, offer initial feedback, questions, or concerns if you want to "start a conversation" :)
My true "service": worth simbi or trades, is intended to be a phone, skype, or face to face conversation that is focused on your specific goals and situation. A "unit" would be something along the lines of an hour of my time, but I am both flexible and open to trades. Feel free to start a casual inbox conversation, get some free(er) answers to simple questions, and see if you are interested in figuring out a deal and setting up a phone call.
I believe that smart application of appropriate technologies can support local sustainability, and a sustainable country is just a stew of sustainable locales.
Looking forward to exchanging productive energy and information with you all!
