Technocracy was an Economic Reform and Sustainability Organization long before the word sustainability was coined.
Now, it is so wonderful to see that there are THOUSANDS of organizations that are concerned with and trying to:
find ways to support the earth, discover new technologies that bring accessibility of water, food, information internet and other services to isolated communities, make efficient and sustainable decisions with waste, find an economic style that will be long-term sustainable both socially and environmentally.
