AKA Applied Ecotechnics AKA AEIOU Low tech, high tech, old tech, new tech, we apply the best solution to the problem at hand.. Our goals are to apply the most cost effective technologies to improving the long term outlook and quality of life that we can expect in both the near and far future of our civilization in ways that preserve and enhance the economy and the environment while helping society and industry realize the most efficient and ethical path towards a truly sustainable future. General areas of endeavor It should be noted that many of our areas of involvement tend to overlap into related areas at times. Our methods look at the entire application and related results and emphasize cooperative and mutually supportive activities and processes. 1. Biofuels production from non-food sources. This includes waste to energy, Biodiesel, Ethanol, Methane, community composting and related biological processing methodologies and organic conservation techniques. Applications overlap in areas of land and wetland restoration, habitat restoration, community supported agriculture, organic farming, sustainable forestry, aquaculture, bioremediation, algal production, mycoremediation, and related fields. Many of our efforts in this area are detailed in the documentation for the Organic Reprocessing and Biofuels (ORB) initiative which is part of the Greener Ohio Sustainable Civilization Plan. 2. Sustainable and energy efficient housing. This includes eco friendly and energy efficient alternative materials as well as design and construction techniques. Literally this includes everything in and relating to the design, construction and use of a structure, including the kitchen sink. Further details regarding our efforts in these areas are also detailed in the appropriate sections of the Greener Ohio Sustainable Civilization Plan. 3. Sustainability issues in society as a whole. Admittedly this is pretty much a catch all category but it is important to note that many of areas which we find solutions for often have implications and applications which fall outside the topics mentioned in the previous categories and yet are very important to long term prospects of our society as well as the cost effectiveness of the current applications. One example of this is our carbon sequestration research which is a spin off of our biofuels efforts. Another are our past projects to restore streams, wetlands and watersheds in cooperation with soil and water conservation organizations. This is often in association with methane production efforts. Another related area is our work on the Sustainable Civilization Infrastructure Template (SCIT) which details infrastructural issues and improvements which work in cooperation with our ORB and sustainable housing efforts to increase the benefit both to the individual residents as well as the municipality and civilization as a whole. Further details regarding our efforts in these areas are also detailed in the appropriate sections of the Greener Ohio Sustainable Civilization Plan.
