Z E R I Certification Training
being offered for the 1st Time in California starting August 14, 2009, and
ZERI
is a global organization that focuses on Zero Emissions Research and
Initiatives. Zero Emissions means zero
waste…zero pollution, whatever is
left-over in one process turns into nutrients and energy for another,
generating cash flow and creating social capital while
turning the system into a “green job machine.”
Research is about learning through a network
of scientists and innovators: identifying appropriate technologies to meet
people's needs with what is available -in a way that reinforces natural systems
rather than depleting natural resources. And
Initiatives are action: real projects and real developments within
communities and within businesses that provide jobs and create wealth by
inspired by natural systems and using all available resources.
ZERI is offering new opportunities to learn more about its approach at the following training and workshops.

Durango 1-day (half-day) Z E R I Workshops:
"Don't expect the Earth to produce more. Expect humans to do more with
what the Earth
produces. This is the second Green revolution."
Gunter Pauli
Zero Emissions Research
& Initiatives (ZERI) is a global network of creative minds seeking solutions
to sustainability challenges. The common vision shared by the Members of the
ZERI family is to view waste as resource and to seek solutions using
nature's design principles as inspiration.
If you are seeking real world examples of creative, practical, and proven solutions to some of our common environmental and economic problems, then you need to attend this workshop. An "Introduction to ZERI" will provide you with a new way of thinking and viewing the world and a fresh positive perspective on how we can turn our common problems into potential opportunities for value-added and job creation.
You will explore the concept of systems thinking and see how thinking in systems can shift us from a consciousness of scarcity to one of abundance. To obtain appropriate solutions it is important to know how to ask the right questions and in this workshop you will begin learning the ZERI process of asking the right questions.
- What is ZERI? - Waste or Resource? - An Introduction to Systems Thinking
- The Science of ZERI - ZERI Case Study - Applying ZERI Locally
