Putting Waste to Work: A Systems Approach
Creating Energy and Fuels while Recovering Resources
A Sustainovation In-depth Conversation with
James T. Caldwell, Ph.D.
President of E3 Regenesis Solutions, Inc.
Thursday 8 March 2007
6:30 pm Registration, networking, tea and dessert
7:00 - 9:00 pm Speaker followed by group dialogue and
discussion
Location: Sustainovation, part of Conexions office space, 1023
Corporation Way, Palo Alto
To date, most attempts to deal with waste reclamation,
renewable energy and fuels have been piecemeal.Progress in 20th
century business, economics and politics grew some economies at
the expense of others. Progress has also come at the expense of
our ecosystems and the natural resources upon which we depend.
Our problems can no longer be solved in isolation from one
other. In order to regenerate the resources we, and the world
need, we must think in terms of whole systems, not one process
at a time.
The evenings conversation will explore some of the widely
prevailing models that work against the needed awakening. We
will explore more versatile, systematic thinking about ways to
manage waste and energy as parts of healthy, sustainable
ecosystems. Dr. Caldwell will discuss several technologies,
including clean plasma conversion and how it might fit with
other waste recovery programs to create a zero-waste,
integrated, sustainable system. Our dialogue will be framed in
the context of the global climate and energy challenges, growth
in China and India, and the recent re-emergence of mercantilism.
About James T. Caldwell, Ph.D.
James Caldwell has been at the forefront of the Organizational
Development and Transformation profession since learning and
teaching Political Science and History in Texas and New York.
He taught the rise and fall of civilizations around the world
and co-edited a book called Aisles of Time that traced the
development through history of political, economic, religious
and legal systems. He is fluent in Chinese and worked in China
for several years before serving as Assistant Director of the
Center for East Asian Studies at Stanford. He founded Pacific
Rim Connections to develop and market multilingual software and
prepress solutions. He was the first Editor of the Unicode
Standard for multilingual electronic communications in the
1990s, where he practiced the art of alliance building to solve
seemingly intractable problems among engineers who did not see
their problems in the same way. His work with renewable energy
and environmental systems dates from a course he taught on The
Politics of Energy and the Environment back in the 1970s.
Jim currently serves as President of E3 Regenesis Solutions,
developing integrated systems to manage waste, energy and
sustainable growth. Projects are underway in several parts of
California and around the US. He serves with several non-
profits, including Sustainovation, the California Biomass
Collaborative, Acterra, Software Development Forum, Asian
American Multitechnology Association, Bay Localize, the 1990
Institute and others.
