Proven Green Energy Savings from Waste Reduction • Dupont set a goal to hold energy use flat at 1990 levels. They have exceeded that goal; their current energy use is 6 percent below the target. Along the way they have saved more than $3 billion and grown their businesses by 30 percent. This focus on energy has also contributed to their greenhouse gas reductions, which are 72 percent below 1990 levels. • Wal-Mart has installed new, energy-efficient light bulbs in refrigeration units that save the company $12 million a year and skylights that cut utility bills by up to $70, 000 per store. • Wal-Mart, which operates the nation's second-largest corporate truck fleet, saved $22 million last year just by installing auxiliary power units that allow drivers to operate electric systems without idling their vehicles. (RFK, “Global Warming: A Real Solution, ” Rolling. Stone, Jun 28, 2007) • LED’s can save 70 -80% of energy and emissions where installed. Some examples include neighborhood streetlights and stoplights, building lights in Malls and in large buildings. Yet these are incomplete solutions! Green Valley Presentation ©James T. Caldwell 2008

Cradle to Cradle (Full Circle) Design In nature, everything has value, whatever is waste for a species of one kingdom, is a nutrient for a living organism in another kingdom. . . because the five kingdoms of nature generate sufficient for everyone on Earth. www. Zeri. org/initiative/concept. htm The Five Kingdoms of Nature: The Five Human Intelligences: 1. Bacteria 1. Emotional 2. Algae 2. Academic 3. Fungi 3. Artistic 4. Plants 4. Eco-literacy 5. Animals 5. Capacity to Implement Cradle to Cradle Design remodels human industry using these natural principles. It envisions a world powered by the sun where growth is good, waste is“nutritious, ” and productive diversity enriches human and natural communities. www. Mc.

Biomimicry Adaptive Alliances Emulate Natural Material and Energy Flows Science studies natural models, systems, processes and elements, imitating or taking creative inspiration from them to solve human problems. Biomimicry is when scientists, systems engineers, social scientists and business allies apply the lessons of nature sustainably, by integrating complementary processes and with self correcting alliance systems: Engineering, Planning, Construction, Monitoring, Maintenance, Recycling and Innovation Green Valley Presentation ©James T.

Sustainable Growth requires Adaptive Collaboration Sustainability requires everyone involved to change their thinking and behavior to: 1. Empower full-cycle energy/resource regenerative processes 2. Monetize multiple bottom line values (more than: people, planet, profit) 3. Put supply and demand to work for multiple bottom line values!

Ecoblock Development Compared to a Standard Superblock • The price of land is missing in this comparison. • Both assume commercial space will be sold rather than rented or leased. • Utility construction is normally government expense; by avoiding it, government entities save money and private operators can generate income from utility fees (validated by us). • This comparison ignores income from businesses that can be managed by the developer alliance. Consulting, education, validation of energy use, emissions, waste reclamation, etc. • Our intention in Clean Tech Industrial and Commercial projects will be a larger percentage of commercial to produce jobs and support schools, hospitals, senior centers, athletics, etc. Green Valley Presentation ©James T.
