Services, Inc. (WES, Inc.) has developed a line of phytoremediation technologies using
plants and their root-associated microbes for the treatment of domestic and
industrial/agricultural wastewater, stormwater runoff and numerous other applications.

WES, Inc. pioneered the practical application of the use of phytoremediation techniques
for solving environmental pollution problems. Originally developed by Dr. B.C. "Bill" Wolverton

LAND ART |
A website by Eugenia PĂ©rez Arango, Artist Associate Professor National University of
Colombia. Medellin Campus, Land Art
& Other Geographies features notable ecological artists like Richard Long, Andy
Goldsworthy, Nils Udo, David Nash and Jean Claude and Christo. In her book Fragile
Ecologies Barbara Matilsky writes that these artists differ from the others for, instead
of promoting individual activity, their work is financed by an institution for a
cooperative enterprise between the artist and the community. If it is true that this art
involves a broad variety of forms, it also expresses a common message. The works of art
that they labor are for the recuperation or rehabilitation of the earth and for the
enlivening of respect and an understanding of Naure.

ECOPOLIS & URBAN ECOLOGY AUSTRALIA |
Ecopolis is a rapidly growing company
with international outreach and solid national experience in ecological urban design and
planning consultancies. Developed over a number of years, the company's networks and
working experience give it an exceptional capacity to call upon appropriate and highly
skilled input from people and organisations who both understand and are familiar with the
unusually broad range of issues involved in eco-city design and development - issues which
might range from the law to xeriscape and dryland ecology, and from earthquake-proof earth
construction techniques to participatory planning and solar power system design.
It works closely with the award-winning community non-profit organisation Urban Ecology Australia Inc (UEA)
which is the only national organisation in Australia with its primary focus on urban
environmental issues. Both Ecopolis and UEA were created to make the vision of ecological
cities a reality.
