A Message From the Founders

Through years of experience with complicated and significant environmental clean up cases and energy-related matters, we have come to realize that many of the dramatic negative environmental impacts that we're facing could be reversed.  

The importance of finding solutions to improve our planet’s health now shines bright within public consciousness and awareness.  It’s heartening to see grassroots efforts on the rise, especially given the magnitude of the problem.

It is our belief that new, cutting-edge science holds the key. It needs to be supported and funded, and we hope to assist in that cause.

With great hope for the future,

Terry and Denise Avchen
