Basalt World Corp ~ RockRebar
RockRebar ® is nature-made volcanic fiber from pure virgin basalt lava rock that has lain weathering to the elements for millions of years, yet shows no apparent changes. Nature has provided volcanic basalt lava rock in abundance. A set of proprietary melting technologies and a specific mineral mixture is used.
RockRebar ® cannot rust because it is not metallic, no rust – ever. It does not absorb water. It is naturally non-conductive, non-magnetic, transparent to radio, radar and microwave frequencies and immune to both nuclear radiation and ultraviolet light, an excellent thermal insulator.
It has excellent potential for seismic reinforcement. A resilient fiber tendon substantially stronger than steel or man-made white fiberglass. RockRebar ® is much lighter than steel rebar, non toxic, sustainable material.
Volcanic Rock Is natures durable material. Tenacious continuous basalt fibers suitable for structural purposes has the ability to orient tendons of continuous basalt fiber for optimal strength, function and form, then structurally solidify the arrangement of fibers within a proprietary polymer matrix.

Trees For Life
Vision: A world where people accept responsibility for their actions which impact life on our planet.
Mission: To create hope through a movement in which people join hands to break the cycle of poverty and hunger and care for our earth.
Strategy: Each person or community that is helped pledges to pass on to at least two others their experience, knowledge and/or materials to get started. This starts a chain reaction—a movement—that can spread to many other people and communities. In this way, we demonstrate that by helping each other people can unleash extraordinary power that enriches every life.

Ecovillage Network of North America
A Region of The Global Ecovillage Network
The Ecovillage Network of North America (English and French speaking) is a region of the Global Ecovillage Network which was established in 1995 to have sustainable communities and ecovillages functioning successfully in all regions of the planet. Ecovillages represent diverse cultures united in creating communities in harmony with each other and the Earth, while meeting the needs of this and future generations. The mission is to have people in the region engage in the common effort to transform the globe through ecologically, economically and culturally sustainable human settlements.
What the Ecovillage Network of North America directs its activities to achieve a number of goals. It fosters the cooperation and facilitates information exchange among ecovillages in the region and across the globe. It promotes education in all aspects of sustainable living and supports research and development and use of appropriate technologies.
The Network also supports the exploration and evolution of sustainable forms of organization. In the Region, it develops strategies to enhance the operations and management of ecovillages; the effectiveness of participants in the ecovillage movement; and to encourage the practice of high standards of personal and professional conduct.
Further in the public sphere, the Network represents ecovillages and sustainable communists in public discourse and before governments. An additional goal is to nurture individual evolution to ecovillage participation.

Primary Water Institute
Severe Drought? The Answer is Primary Water.
The Primary Water Institute is dedicated to teaching what is known about the volcanic origin of water from deep beneath the crust of our living world. This new water arrives at the surface through cracks, and fissures in rock strata, due to tectonic forces far below, adding to the hydrologic cycle at the surface, and in ocean basins. Fissures in the ocean floor, and cracks cause hydrothermal vents that release super heated water, rich with mineral content, to mix with seawater.
“We hear that the wars of the 21st century will be fought over water – rather than oil as in the last. Nothing holds more potential to abolish these wars – and ameliorate the shocking condition of nearly one billion people on earth without access to clean, safe water — than the science of Primary Water.” – Pal Pauer
