Earthmodal Help

This website is created as a framework for modeling sustainability and for documentation of the world's efforts to achieve lasting results for the future.

earthmodal projects are ASP.NET C# projects created to manage sustainability models and a mini-Data Warehouse, as well as implementing the Planet Managers Toolbox. The projects use MS SQL Server 2008 to contain the data.

The Sustainabilty Library contains many documents that are referenced throughout the site as well as some good handbooks and guides to help various parties to participate either as individuals or as institutions.

Earthmodal Help outlines the program and gives the philosophy behind its work.
At the beginning of this Summit, the children of the world spoke to us in a simple yet clear voice that the future belongs to them, and accordingly challenged all of us to ensure that through our actions they will inherit a world free of the indignity and indecency occasioned by poverty, environmental degradation and patterns of unsustainable development.
Report of the World Summit on Sustainable Development; Johannesburg, 2002

The Planet Manager's Toolkit

Currently the toolkits are of various types:

  • A toolset implemented in software with a program of education to accompany it as for example Canada's RETScreen which assists in analyzing Clean Energy like wind, solar and photovoltaic. This is an offsite reference found in the Energy Section of the Manager's Toolkit.
  • A structured paperwork method with suggested forms and the methodology of carrying out the object of the kit. For example Democratic Dialogue in the Dialogue Section of the Document Set demonstrates how to prepare for and carry out a dialogue, and gives examples of where the methods were applied.
  • A collection of resource references and text with links to specific best web hubs that specialize in the subject as in the case of the Water Section. For example The United Nations World Water Development Report from the World Water Assessment Program 
  • A summary of state of the art with reference to databases available online.
  • And—coming soon—earthmodal's own software online.
