"Promoting a Vision of Green Prosperity."
Our Mission: To Change the World
"Prosperity in the 21st century will be created by those who seek profit in making the world a better place. Ecopreneurs will out-compete inefficient, abusive industries by starting green businesses that close the loop on wasted materials, energy, time, money and labor.
"They will heal wasted ecosystems and restore biodiversity at a profit while delivering useful goods and services to the public. Home-owners too, will profit by seeking ways to eliminate everything from high energy bills to mortgage payments--even eliminating the need for a regular job.
"But there is no need to wait for such a future to come, for the revolution has already started. The door is wide open, and anyone can walk the path to green prosperity, changing the world every step along the way."
--Thomas J. Elpel, author of
Direct Pointing to Real Wealth
Mission
To create a truly sustainable economy, we must transform our economic, cultural, and political models from old paradigms to new ones... read more
Curriculum
Hands-on education is essential for positive grounding in our electronic, media-driven world. Science, history, and ecology concepts taught from books are meaningless without a physical connection to the real world. Hands-on experiences can help "wire the hands to the brain," to better integrate conceptual knowledge, while acquiring an ethic of stewardship and the tools to think sustainably... read more
Internships
Change your world while learning to change the world. Our Green University® LLC Internship program connects the dots from wilderness education to sustainable living. Through wilderness survival skills and adventures, we immerse participants in the natural world to address the issues of survival and sustainability at an intimate level... read more

The Green University® "campus" started out as an 18' tipi and a 1970 Blair mobile home next door to Granny's Country Store in the metropolis of Silver Star, Montana, population 30+. In 2005 we tore apart and recycled the mobile home, and broke ground on a new passive solar stone house... read more

Hello-
Just ordered your Field Guide to Money (Direct Pointing to Real Wealth). It is a great book, I tried to get my library to buy it. They let me read a copy from Boise instead.
I've already used some of the principles in this book to get a job at Boulder Hot Springs at Boulder, Montana. I drive over once a month or so, and help them with their Organic food production. I visited Boulder H.S. in April, May and June - helping them learn to grow food in their new geothermal greenhouse. It's a great job. I utilize your ideas about closing waste loops and Wow! - it works great. Small input and RESULTS! Waste streams are so generous!
Thank You!
Sincerely,
B. Goodrich
