Interconnectivity and a Closed SystemTrue ValueOur current system undervalues resources in order to maintain the artificially low cost of goods.• The Earth is a closed system with a fixed

number of resources. When those resources are gone they are gone forever. • While the possibility to get more resources

from off Earth exists, it will never be economically feasible.

The only conclusion that can be reached is that continuing to undervalue resources for short term gain risks our long term survival!

The Cascading EffectIn a closed system everything is, irrefutably, both interconnected and interdependent. The first step is understanding the cascading effects of our current actions.

In an interdependent and interconnected system, when one thing is changed all other things are affected.

A tipping point is being reached where these indiscriminant changes are cascading into irreversible environmental degradation.


Transition is KeyMuch of what holds back the changes that need to occur is the message/belief/assumption that we need to switch from what we have now to where we need to be... On/Off.Change is not a switch but a transition, it always has been. The Industrial Revolution was just such a transition, taking over 200 years. The need in this Transition is to accelerate the timeframe… The Need is for Agents of Change

The Clean Technology Trade Alliance (CTTA) is an Agent of Coordination, a new type on organization that facilitates the paradigm shift toward sustainability by sustainability through implementation of unique projects. CTTA is defining a unique approach to solving the very complex problem we are facing today. CTTA identifies problems, then develops a concept to address both the symptoms and the causative issues.
