How did you hear about PCP?
I Found the web site via the Sante Fe Institute's
site.

Please take at least one page to describe your
work and how it might relate to PCP:

We at the HSCP have set a goal of catalyzing a
more sustainable future for our planet by
applying transdisciplinary concepts and
strategies consistent with, and reflective of,
Metasystem Transition Theory, Land scape Ecology,
Cybernetics, Ecological Economics, and
Bioregionalism.

To realize this goal, we utilize the web as a
interactive network linking commmunities around
the globe. Innovative community scale strategies
for sustainable technology, economics, and
planning from a Meta-System perspective are
exchanged and cooperative "sister city" projects
launched and maintained. The hope is that, via
this interconnection at this appropriate scale, a
bio-cybernetic dynamic can act to accelerate
vital transformation of said communities so that
they might exist and thrive within intrinsic
regional ecological constraints.

We see the ecosphere as an open hierarchal
system. Thus, it is our view that this projected
emergence of distributed regional scale
sustainability is the most effective vehicle
towards an ecologically sound future at all
scales, including global.

Therefore, we sincerely hope that our
organization will be considered for inclusion on
PRNCYB-L. I'm convinced it would be a invaluable
resource for our work and I believe the HSCP
could contribute relevant input in kind.
