Launch Day April 22 2009

 

Will you remember what you were doing April 22, 2009? I will! This is the day we launched Global Sustainable Ideas ™ and dedicated it to all our children the world over. I pray that our site will sew the seeds of hope for a future where the very idea of pollution will be a forgotten concept. I also pray that you and I, brothers and sisters, will find the courage to do all that is necessary to make this future a reality.

What we're all about

What Global Sustainable Ideas ™ is all about

koalaWith the advent of the Internet, mankind has had placed before its conscious billions, the opportunity, capability, and responsibility, to use its collective intellect, wisely.

Global Sustainable Ideas.org ™ is an eco-logic organization, which uses the Internet to harness the imagination and creative potential of 6,000,000,000 plus minds.

We focus that potential to find true solutions to mankind’s most important energy and pollution problems. We also showcase goods and services, which embrace more eco-friendly solutions, to meet humanities everyday needs.

Albert Einstein said that:

“The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we used when we created them.”

icebergIn other words – environmentally speaking- we cannot expect to solve any of our problems if we continue to willfully ignore the higher ground or the greatest good. With too many unwise, and unconscious decisions, we have self imposed a dependence on goods and services which endangers all life on our planet. A system created to help us flourish is quite literally killing us.

It is only common sense that the idea of endorsing an economy, whose ‘goods and services’ promote the extinction of its benefactors, is foolish, or at least bad for business. Simply put, we can no longer afford immature, short-term solutions, which compound our problems.

It is the mandate of Global Sustainable Ideas.org ™ to edify consumers to the fact that it is we all together who have shaped our economy. We can remake it, and all that is required is one small unanimous effort.

One small step, all of us in the same direction, will change everything.

Finally, Collection!

Innovative Company Compost Montreal
Picks up your Organic Waste

Food waste is a valuable resource and it has been treated like one for thousands of years. Today however, most major cities still send their organic waste to landfill where its potential is lost. Its decomposition thereby releases energy in the form of methane gas, which is a contributor to climate change. As we well know, when the waste is treated properly, it creates a natural, nutrient rich fertilizer called compost.

 

In 2007, Montrealer and founder of Compost Montreal Stephen McLeod decided he had finally seen enough. The former bike courier took things into his own hands. “I started the pick-up service with my bike back in July 2007. At the time I was bringing my organic waste to my local Eco-Centre and one day decided ‘hey, I should do this for other people as well.’” After demand grew for his service, the bike and trailer could no longer support the load; neither could the Eco-Centre. The company now has two trucks, and “we have plans for our entire fleet to run on vegetable oil in the near future”, added McLeod. The food waste is now dumped at a city composting site, where it is transformed into compost and as a reward for their efforts, returned the very clients who provided the resource.
Compost Montreal services close to 400 enthusiastic residential and commercial clients weekly. People are excited to finally have this service in their city. For more information visit www.compostmontreal.com

You posses as yet undiscovered genius. You have ideas that could revolutionize the way in which we interact with our planet, but are unable to pursue or execute because of any number of reasons. Dear brothers and sisters, please note that the very survival of the human race may be defined in part by your action. Understand that since 1991 we have annihilated ~20% of all species on our planet. Gone is gone. Do the math, how much longer do you think we have before wilful ignorance destroys us all. This is not somebody else's problem so stop waiting for politicians and those you think know better to do something, and join us in our efforts to save what little we all have left.

Sustain v. to enable continuously.

The first order of life is immortality. 

 

Imagine waking up one day in a house that truly sustains you. The materials used in its construction are in their entirety non-toxic and the whole edifice can be easily recycled or readily absorbed by mother earth without damaging the local flora and fauna.

house_interiorThe structure and functions of your home are purposely suited to take proper advantage of all ambient potential energy, sun, wind, geothermal or otherwise, particular to the geographic location of your home.

Electricity plumbing and climate control are all state of the art energy saving systems, which share excess energy and sleep when you are not using them.

All of your appliances and creature comfort technology were built with the same eco intelligent concern to function.

The non-GMO food and crystal clear water that nourish you are natural and locally sourced.

Imagine an entire town, city; province or country built using the same principles. This is a world we could live in. To this end GSI has dedicated its efforts.

The immediate goals of Global Sustainable Ideas ™ are to: 

 

  • Edify the consumer, that it is we all together who continuously shape our economy;
  • Educate, thereby provide the consumer with an informed choice, and the opportunity to choose the eco-friendly products, s/he would use in his/her everyday life;
  • Create an environment and means for those concerned inventors, who may not have been able to complete their projects due to lack of funding, guidance, or feedback, so that they can quickly gain a clear understanding of the end users’ level of commitment, and access all the support necessary to take their project from concept to market place; and
  • Create a forum and resources where our global community can get the tools and in solidarity fulfil our individual commitments to healing our environment. Only then can we leave a legacy we can all be proud of.

 The long-term goals of Global Sustainable Ideas ™ are to:

  • Catalyse a new economy of goods and services generated with methods which favour re-cycling to accrue resources, and proper management of waste;
  • Foster collaboration instead of competition throughout the business world;
  • Light the way to a future where humanity works to exist in symbiosis with the ecosystems, which sustains us all;
  • Refine our environmental footprints, thereby radically enhance the quality of life on earth; and
  • Enlighten, thereby empower humanity with the principle that the whole of the universe exists interdependent with all its parts: we, and all that we perceive are part of it. With this knowledge comes the responsibility to act with humility, integrity and proper respect for all of creation.
