Workshop leader Terry Gips is an economist,
ecologist and author of Breaking the Pesticide
Habit and The Humane Consumer and Producer Guide.
Terry is one of the first U.S. Natural Step
Framework trainers. Terrys seminar provides an
innovative, successful and cost-effective
approach for becoming environmentally socially
responsible based on consensus systems
thinking. Its purpose is to present a common
framework comprised of easily-understood,
scientifically-based principles that can serve as
a compass to guide society toward a just and
sustainable future.
So why be hopeful? Because we can create new
jobs, restore our environment and promote social
stability. The solutions are creative, practical
and profitable. Paul Hawken, Author and
Founding Chair of the Natural Step U.S.
