Description

This presentation builds a new sustainability model called Ecosynthesis: the convergence of natural ecosystems, human communities, sustainability economics, and intelligent ‘smart’ technology. The ultimate objective of Ecosynthesis is to develop our communities as ‘ecosystems’, where all parts are integrated and interdependent on each other. Most importantly, the concept of waste is eliminated, as it is in natural ecosystems.
