Greetings Green Beloveds, Friends, & Allies, I recently realized that my original postings were more deficient than even I knew. So, please forgive me and let me make up for my prior lack of adequate input. The purpose of the EcoTectura network is two-fold, 1) to provide a showcase for leading edge, green, real world solutions for real world problems that don't get adequate coverage in the other media and networks or get lost in the clutter or get no effective coverage at all; and 2) to provide a network for communication, promotion, team building, alliance building, and collaborative creation by members of the community of ecotects, green designers, fans, allies, planners, consultants, SMEs, Permaculture experts, reporters, policy makers, legislators, officials, politicians, executives, NGOs, R&D groups, public-private consortiums, researchers, theorists, schools, teachers, students, real estate developers, investors, builders, subcontractors, tradesmen, and future green home owners/builders. We who have devoted our lives to this complex and demanding field of interdisciplinary studies and work appreciate your appreciation, respect, support, feedback, suggestions, inspirations and helpful efforts to make this a better, safer, greener world and all your consideration and goodwill in keeping this network as lively and effective as it can be. Thanks for your kindness and understanding. Michael Monterey
