[GreenYes] ZERI next Certification Training - Applications Due 10/15

[Gary Liss <gary@garyliss.com>]

Apologies for Cross-Postings

ZERI is a worldwide network of successfully implemented hands-on Zero Waste 
projects. It is based in systems thinking; views waste as resource; and 
allows companies and communities to utilize core design principles in both 
the turning of corporate hidden assets into revenue streams and value-added 
businesses and in helping local communities to develop food stocks for 
consumption and economic development.

Given the growing demand in North America for ZERI projects, the ZERI 
Certification Training is designed to provide a pool of highly motivated 
individuals who have a deep interest in implementing ZERI projects, in 
assisting companies and communities and in advancing their own careers.

Taught by ZERI's founder - Gunter Pauli - the 12-day training is divided 
into three 4-day modules: December 11-14, 2002; March 5-8, 2003; and June 
18-21, 2003, all in Santa Fe, NM.  Module #1 focuses primarily on the 
definition of systems and the application of systems thinking; module #2 
focuses on very specific economic, biological and technological tools that 
are necessary for implementing systems-based ZERI projects; and module #3 
focuses on the critically-important management strategies for successfully 
implementing ZERI projects, as well as the final certification process itself.

Overall, the 12-day ZERI Certification Training - and its associated 
homework between modules - is a concentrated and rigorous program that 
optimizes learning, interaction and participation.
