Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Life’s urgent and most pressing question is, what are you doing for others?” In his words, “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” Through understanding the importance of serving and doing for others, we meaningfully give back to our communities and address important issues of concern.
Mission Statement
The purposes of Ecodream is to design, develop and build energy efficient, environmentally friendly affordable housing for low income families, to promote preservation of the environment through the use of renewable and alternative energy sources and recycled building materials; to educate the public with respect to the preservation of the environment and to engage in any other activities reasonably related to the above purposes. We feel safety and information to the general public falls into these categories so we will continue to take projects that fall into the above areas especially if it involves families and their children while improving the building technologies, codes and equipment in new and refurbished homes.
"The EcoDream Mantra is to implement solutions that offer far-reaching socio-ecological benefits for the world; providing top-quality and affordable homes for those in need; supporting scientific advances towards universal housing, food and clothing; and paving the way to a new real estate, green, safe technology and social welfare system that benefits all of humanity."
We also review safety and new technologies as advancements are made scientifically with new materials, engineering and imagination continue to soar.
Ecodream decided to tackle the problem by looking at innovative ways to provide housing and still honor the original concept of the affordability factor while still preserving the environment. We had The Shawnee Corporation http://www.shawneecorp.com assist and mentor staff and the CEO as well as the expert advise of Tetra Tech and SPG Solar.
We had corporate bulk sellers and buyers sell or donate homes to Ecodream. We accepted donations but were horified to discover that these homes were not only unliveable but were condemned. We were disappointed once again with the greed of the bulk sellers taking advantage of a nonprofit for a write off. They know who they are and that is a shame but another learning experience for ecodream. We had wanted to take existing inventory and pass the savings on to the family that needed a home that had good credit or were first time homebuyers. We are still working to provide solutions to the existing complex problems and are still in negotiations with other developers to assist our homeowners. But once again the greed in the finance and real estate market continue to be legendary. Once cannot imagine that these banks would sooner have empty, condemned homes and families living in cars and tents but this continues to be true.
Most recently http://www.theibc.tv has stepped in to create a multi media platform selecting Ecodream as one of their non profit agencies that will benefit from the socially conscious Media mogul, Jerome Picot, CEO of the ibc.tv. It is with partnerships that solutions can be found to address the human condition. Ecodream applauds these corporations for the vision and dedication.
Elevate and Escalate Project 2010-While working with the current building codes and upgrades and changes in the new green certification programs, Ecodream became aware of injuries to children resulting in amputations and children being maimed.
Every year there are approximately 6000 escalator accidents in the US. In these accidents, hundreds of children lose fingers and toes when their extremities become entrapped.
The specific problem is a gap that exists between the moving steps and the stationary walls of the equipment. The walls are known as the skirts of the escalator.
Common sense dictates that there must be some gap, because the steps are moving and the skirts are stationary. However, a device has been invented to totally fill the gap and completely eliminate this problem.
Unfortunately, the makers and maintainers of escalators have argued that the design does not work well enough to become the standard of safety on all escalators in the United States. Experimental sites have shown the contrary to be true but the industry will not budge without a substantial nudge.
Ecodream proposes to employ our engineers, material scientists and escalator experts to study what has been invented and provide an independent analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of such devices. The analysis will focus first on the present device but may also propose adjustments or improvements to insure a working design.
Depending upon what the proposed research reveals, the Government may be in a position to insist that this safety device be used everywhere just as it took government action to enforce the use of automobile seatbelts. If so, Ecodream will spearhead that campaign.
Eco Dream is overseen by a Board of Directors with diverse backgrounds and experience in real estate, property management, social services and education. They are all passionate about housing and the environment. Eco Dream brought together professional staff, consultants and the community to address the needs and to find solutions.
