PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE AT ECO INTERNATIONAL

 

ECO International takes a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental problem solving.  Law and engineering, economics and technology, language and culture all factor in formulating socially appropriate solutions to environmental problems.  We help local governments devise and implement sustainable regulatory systems - sustainable because derived from the organic social contract of the implementing community.  To us, "lessons learned" does not necessarily suggest replication.  History, culture and prevailing economic conditions often mitigate against solutions that might have worked in a different country, or a different time.  Ultimately, we facilitate positive change.  To find out a little about how we do it, click on any one of the images below.
