Waste to Value

A significant portion of America’s material and human resource assets are now wastefully idling on gridlocked roadways. Cars and the gridlock are impoverishing people, fraying nerves and the social fabric. This immense waste is a high cost to the national economy and seriously damages the environment.

The Waste to Value concept recognizes that in a world of diminishing resources, there remains one untaped resource in high-consuming societies such as the U.S.: our waste. Converting waste to value is a concept and practice that is built into the Los Angeles Peace and Sustainability Project through the Transitional/Holigent Solution.

The proposed physical and social rearrangements of the way we will live, work, commute, consume and govern ourselves in a Transitional/Holigent Village constitutes a systemic program of turning waste into value to build and maintain communities and secure a high quality of life.
