Welcome To ZERI

Zero Emissions Research & Initiatives (ZERI) is a global network of creative minds seeking solutions to world challenges. The common vision shared by the members of the ZERI family is to view waste as resource and seek solutions using nature's design principles as inspiration. 

Future Vision of ZERI: 2005-2014

ZERI has spent 10 years in the field developing projects that demonstrate how we can do so much more with what nature provides, meeting the basic needs of all species in co-evolution with nature. After much trial and error and the influence of many scientists, entrepreneurs, and educators, ZERI offers a hopeful vision for the next 10 years.

Science: Learn more about the science behind ZERI including important insights into the 5 Kingdoms of Nature and the 5 Design Principles.

Projects: See the future of ZERI in action including the Gaviotas reforestation project in Colombia and Living Labs.

Education:  Find out more about ZERI's groundbreaking educational initiatives including the Masters Program at the University of Torino, Italy and a comprehensive curriculum implemented in Brazil.

MOVE IT! - The ZERI Learning initiative brings science and emotions together in one program. See how children in the USA learn basic sciences while developing their emotional skills thanks to the dancing program of Amelia Terrapin based on Gunter's Fables.

Inspired by Gunter's Fables, children enjoy the energy, expression and creativity guided by the choreography of Amelia Terrapin. Children learn in a systemic way, building insights in science, while strengthening their emotional intelligence.

Without going through the verbal explanation, nor the details of the science, the children become acquainted with the depth of science and emotions through dance.
