Holistic Approach to Erosion Control

A holistic look at Earth's chemical cycling sheds light on how the planet stays habitable.

Experience & Engagement

A holistic approach to erosion control involves integrating various strategies that work together to prevent soil loss and coalesce ecological balance.

Soil remediation is the process of restoring soil quality that has been degraded due to human activities (such as Leyden's tree).

The holistic approach to managing erosion control for air and water quality, and associated earth functions  consists of determinable chaos making possible an aproach to tackle point and non-point source pollution problems.

This approach aims to reduce pollution by treating runoff and minimizing greenhouse gas and toxic waste emissions.

Your "Green Engineering" website addresses point-source & non-point-source pollution from an urban perspective.

Phytoremediation mitigates pollutants concentrated in the contaminated atmosphere of earth,soils, water, and wetlands. 

This process restores ecological balance with plants able to contain, degrade, or eliminate metals, pesticide, solvents, explosives, crude oil and its derivatives, and various other contaminants from the media that contain them.

The goal of self-regulation is the maintenance of habitability.

The way we change the air with greenhouse gases and take away its natural  forest cover for farmland; the outcome is global heating.

This is how Gaia keeps a habitable planet:  Species that improve habitability flourish and those that foul the environment are set back or extinct.

"An hour above high camp on the Southeast Ridge of Everest, Panuru Sherpa and I passed the first body. The dead climber was on his side as if napping in the snow, his head half covered by the hood of his parka, goose down blowing from holes torn in his insulated pants. Ten minutes later we stepped around another body, her torso shrouded in a Canadian flag, an abandoned oxygen bottle holding down the flapping fabric."

The need for pure water: dislike it or not.

Dislike it they may, fracking may be a short-term solution yet with long-term consequences.

A study that found hydraulic fracturing for natural gas puts drinking water supplies in Pennsylvania at risk of contamination may renew a long-running debate between industry and activists.

Water treatment is a global challenge where 1.7 million people die annually from diseases related to polluted water and 1.1 billion people have no access to drinking water. New technology and design, treating municipal and industrial wastewater and reusing .

Eco-Sustain Africa

Since coming into existence in 2011, Eco-Sustain Africa has contributed to the conservation of endangered species by monitoring and managing the release of cheetah onto a reserve in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. We also actively rehabilitated captive-bred caracal in the wild and helped resolve human-elephant conflicts at a commercial game reserve.

Not only did many of our volunteers assist with these projects but they also SustainAfrica.

Gaia's Theory

The world of science has evolved to the dangerous point where model-building precedes observation and measurement, especially in Earth and life sciences. In certain ways modeling by scientists has become a threat to the foundation on which science has stood the acceptance that nature is always the final arbiter.

Water treatment is a global challenge where 1.7 million people die annually from diseases related to polluted water and 1.1 billion people have no access to drinking water. 

New technology and design, treating municipal and industrial waste-water and that a hypothesis must always be tested by experiment and observation in the real world."

Planetary scale engineering can combat global warming, but, as with nineteenth-century medicine, the best option is kind words and letting Nature take its course, says James Lovelock.

Only climatologists tolerated Gaia's theory as global heating slowly gained acceptance.
