Humanity has the technology to either destroy itself or provide prosperity for all.

Technology – The Tools of Sustainable Living
Growing the sustainable economy requires sophisticated technology that is a net benefit for the purchaser and the world. To assess this complex quality, we utilize a “Cost of Ownership” analysis principle. We still follow the bottom line, but the bottom line includes effect on the environment, the economy, and society.
Production - By design, our products are not resource intensive. Production is not a race to the bottom‚search for the lowest bidder, but rather a search for a reliable producer that minimizes impact on the environment and provides a healthy work environment.
Implementation - The transition to sustainable technologies is much easier if those technologies are designed to adapt to the lifestyle of the consumer and the tools of the installer. A few extra hours in the design stage can save many hours once on the market.
Performance and Endurance - The value of a product lies in the quality and duration of its performance. These two factors can have the largest impact on the Cost of Ownership.
Afterlife - For a responsible company, production is only half of its environmental responsibility. The best product design includes subsequent uses for a product. At bare minimum, a product should be recyclable.
