I
recently
published the book "Apocalypse
Near"; a story based on the content of this website,
my quest to accomplish it, & my near
death experience.
∞ I
created this website immediately after a near death experience in
2004. Everything I was trying to do with this site & the Viridian
REVELution site which grew out of that experience has now written
itself into a trilogy of feature film screenplays entitled "Apocalypse
Near". The first part is now
available in print on Amazon. I urge you to explore
my websites as they are all in a way ONE. They all have the intent
of averting the possible environmental collapse that I saw while
dead & directing us toward the possible symbiotic relationship
between humankind & our ecological container I also saw. Both
of these are possible futures but which occurs is our CHOICE. You
are part of creating that future through choices in the marketplace.
I use journalism & other media
in an effort to create what I call environMENTALism™
I've also added what I call a 'Symbiotic
Shoppingtm'
area to try to raise funds to help meet the costs of presenting
this website (nobody pays me to do this).
The
idea is to get consumers. (meaning YOU!; unless you don't eat, drink,
breathe, or buy anything, ever), to simultaneously upgrade self
& planet by supporting progressive businesses that use environmentally
conscious practices in the production of advanced goods & services.
Learn about these issues by clicking the topic links on the top
of each page, or by considering my E=C2
equation,
devised to encapsulate my philosophy
for peaceful macro economic & cultural progression.. OR jump
to the News Features page to see a quick
list of my articles on these issues.
I'm just one idealistic guy (read
about me), who thinks he can do something to
help save what's left of the planet from the unconsciously consuming
humans ;-> , so help support this work by Symbio
- Shopping tm
for technoculturally advanced products
in my MindfulMall tm
where you can find cutting-edge products to show to off to our fellow
humankind to hopefully lure them into conscious consumerism. I've
deduced that the largest impact an individual can make is by transforming
their homes & businesses to renewable
energy systems. I'm therefore working less as a journalist
/ educator & more toward becoming an Energy
Consultant involved in the direct
sale of such systems.. Besides I
have to do something to support all the work I
do on this site or it's over.
When you get done exploring the site you may want to play around
on the Viridian
REVELution site I created to interact with my book.
You get a free Interactive E-Book that live links to
the Viridian
REVELution site when you buy the
print version.
Sign
up for the E•mail group to receive my free E-Zine... Or,
If you really want to help, donate directly
to this cause of moving toward a symbiotic relationship with
our biosphere.
This
is not your typical, environmentalism. So click whatever interests
you or check the businesses listed in the right column. These go
to other sites, so please bookmark me
& come back. Learn, interact, live well & prosper via truly
higher technologies. Drop
me a line to let me know what you think, or let everyone know
what you think in the forums. Stop waiting
for government & industry to clean things up... YOU ARE, as
I AM, partly responsible for the messy
state of this lone planet by what WE CHOOSE to consume. We're all
in this 2gether.. In Love ∞,
E.haase
Still
confused? Read Jacob's quote to the left &
contemplate how this site intends to, through various methods, integrate
humankind's consumption behaviors into both the biosphere &
technosphere. I hope you'll then interact with this site to accomplish
this lofty goal. (See more mission
statement ramblings below).

The Environmentally Conscious Consumers
Network is dedicated to helping consumers find news & info'
for use in making globally conscientious choices in the marketplace.
The intent is to help create an affluent, sustainable techno-culture
based in renewable energy & natural capitalism. "The
aim is to give consumers the information they need to make those
decisions as well as a shopping
area to begin supporting natural capitalist businesses
immediately.
Envision
an economy that gratifies humanity's desires better than current
systems do without destroying humanity's life support systems
in the process. This is possible with the collective consumer
consciousness focused on this outcome.
As you shop here or anywhere, envision a balanced,
renewable resource market economy where business supplies the
products society needs at a fair price while not destroying the
natural resource base. Then support only businesses similarly
focused.
It's time consumers realize
their strength. 'We, The Consumers', are powerful masses
shaping our world each time we make a purchase. We can conscientiously
vote for change with our dollars everyday. I
hope this site will empower consumers with several ways to co-create
positive change.
In our capitalistic marketplace,
manufacturers have always sought to quickly respond to the will
of the masses (demand) with a product (supply) that beats out
the competition's. This can be the key to peaceful mass change.
My
grandiose vision for this site is that it will somehow touch off
a chain reaction experiment in economic democracy where the consumer
is constantly engaged in corporate futurism & driving product
development to meet their needs. The goal is to help form &
thereby "own" the next industrial revolution, keeping
in mind that 'We, The Consumers' bare partial responsibility
for its consequences; because as long as we're stuck on this 3rd
stone from the sun, We're truly all in this together..
Sound crazy? Well, maybe so,
but I can't think
of anything better to do with my time
right now, so I'll aim high, shoot & hope others will join
in my idyllic vision. Click
here to read about mE & why I've taken on this idyllic
quest.

I believe an informed consumer culture will help
a growing trend of "natural capitalism" take root in more
companies by creating a demand for cleaner, more efficient products
& services. This can help bring an urgently needed, energy efficient,
new industrial revolution to fruition.
This site is part of a
portal of others I'm developing to foster
a culture of consumers who use their dollars to vote for a healthier,
wealthier future for themselves & their children. Towards that
end, I hope you will become involved with this virtual
community & my social engineering/planetary
transformation mission by contributing
your insights, ideas for stories, & your wisdom. This site is
set up to be yours, So become part of it.. That's why the apostrophe
is after the "S" in Conscious Consumers' Network. It's
plural possessive, so make it yours.
You may be asking, what the heck can I do?
Meet others & express
your opinion in our World-Town-Meeting forums.
Or start directly getting behind the mission,
& support natural capitalist & socially responsible businesses
by doing some browsing/shopping in the "Mindful
Mall." Click the "News & Issues links at the top
of the page to educate yourself on the many things you can do to
make your personal world better while making the whole world better.
C2 = C-squared.
By this I am trying to state my belief that there can be exponential
benefits from small actions on a mass basis. Check
the equation I formulated to encapsulate this idea.
You may also contribute
to the letters & opinion area. Report
any errors & omissions you find in
my articles. Also, please share this site
with family, friends, & as many other people as you can. Above
all we hope you will learn, live long & prosper.
This site is growing. Please sign up
for the e-mail group to
get updates. Or just aimlessly click around to see how "We
The Consumers" can participate in co-creating positive
change for ourselves & our neighbors.. And if you think you
can help me with anything, please contact
me. I'm just one guy with a big,
idyllic vision & I need all the help I can get to keep me going
with the crazy idea that someone might still care about reality
instead of just reality T. V.
