1. NMSU’s School of Sustainability
David M. Boje, Ph.D.
Chair, NMSU Sustainability Council
Coordinator, Greening the Curriculum
Regents Professor

2. Eco-Village Concept, founded by Vietnam Veterans of Austin
E.g. Austin TX started with 27 acres (now 200 homes): Mobile Loaves and Fishes’ Alan Graham, says ‘one reason many in the nearby community are on board is because there will also be a bed and breakfast in the village and an Alamo Drafthouse outdoor movie theater. Graham adds that if 200 chronically homeless people get back on their feet, it could save Central Texas taxpayers about $10 million a year.

3. We use HUD codes, NOT RV codes
Definition of a Tiny House - Tiny Houses differ from existing classifications of recreational vehicles, manufactured housing, and homes on permanent foundations.

4. MICRO-ENTERPRISES POWERED BY VETERANS
Micro-Enterprises, such as E-Bay Store, Machine Shop, Carpentry, Organic Farming, and so on.
Micro-enterprises have one to five persons doing business
What about microenterprise constructing Tiny Homes on wheels using sustainable construction practices?

5. Phase I:

13. Boje’s 1st principle: Sow and Reap
When I met Grace Ann, I did sow a thought…
Sow a thought, Reap a word
Sow a word, Reap an action
Sow an action, Reap a habit
Sow a habit, Reap a character
Sow a character, Reap a destiny
“Watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your words, they become actions; watch your actions, they become habits; watch your habits, they become character; watch your character, for it becomes your destiny”
FRANK OUTLAWLate President of the Bi-Lo Stores
Often wrongly attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, its from news article by Frank Outlaw in May 1977, and popular again by Steven Covey (quote investigator)

14. Boje’s 2nd Principle of SOS
"All organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they get.”  from Arthur Wayne Jones, as cited in David P. Hanna (1988: 38; 2001: 19)
Published on Jun 27, 2014
Often misattributed to W. Edward Deming in management, or Paul Batalden in Health policy (YouTube) What Deming did say: "Problems are the fault of the system 96% of the time and individuals 4% of the time." -- W. Edwards Deming
Paul Batalden, Medical Director, Senior Fellow, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), is Professor of Pediatrics, Community and Family Medicine and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice at Dartmouth Medical School. He teaches about the leadership of improvement of health care

15. University Negations of People & Answerability to Ecosystem
Ontic Facts: NMSU is an entity that is going through cost-cutting ($12.3 million already) and more to come. Each cutting is an absenting (120 positions of faculty, staff, mid-level administrators) – have already been cut:
July ”belt-tightening continues: New Mexico State University said … it will cut more than 120 faculty and staff positions and trim budgets across academic and administrative units to save more than $12 million this fiscal year” source
“NMSU will eliminate 89 vacant positions, including 27 faculty and 62 staff. The system will cut 37 currently staffed positions, including three faculty and 34 staff. Human resources will review whether staffers whose jobs are cut may be transferred into other vacancies” source
Entire departments & units are being merged, or dissolved ($828,000 cut by dissolving Health Services),
“The cuts all apply to the university’s $178 million “instruction and general,” or I&G budget – the portion of the $622 million total system budget that is covered by tuition and appropriations” source
Before changes enrollment has fallen to about 15,490 in Will the transformations make it fall further?
How as budget-cutting math logic become a positivist epistemology of ontic facts, that has substituted itself for ontology, of the Being-ness of the University-in-the-world globally in world capitalism, and locally, in its ecosystem of New Mexico.

23. Triple Bottom Line fantasy - 3BL
For more CRITIQUE of the Triple Bottom Line 3Bl please see this excellent article
Triple Bottom Line advocates never actually propose how to measure the ADDITION of profit bottom line + People bottom line + Planet bottom line…
Without an agreed methodology, the income statement trumps the people and planet measurement.
CRITICS: “We submit that the only way to make sense of such a claim is by formulating it (roughly) in the way we have with the Aggregation Claim, above. That is, we cannot see how it could make sense to talk about a bottom line analogous to the bottom line of the income statement unless there is an agreed-upon methodology that allows us, at least in principle, to add and subtract various data until we arrive at a net sum.

25. CARBON FOOTPRINT of USA
SOS
Total greenhouse gases produced by human activities =
tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Natural CO2 cycleCO2 gets re- absorbed by plants and trees

26. SOS FACTS 5% of world’s population in the USA create
Average USA person’s carbon footprint
20 tons carbon dioxide per year compared
1.1 tons for average person in India
5% of world’s population in the USA create
20% of carbon dioxide emissions &
30% of the world’s resources consumed.
GREENHOUSE GASSES (GHGs: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide): Average USA person generates > 10 times the GHG as the average Chinese
GLOBAL CARBON EMISSION: Average USA person generates 10 tons per person per year, but average person elsewhere produces only 1 ton per person per year

27. SOS
Definitions
Quantum  (noun) Smallest quantity of radiant energy that any system possesses to exist
Quanta  Plural of quantum; quanta are waves & particles; matter & non-matter; mass & non-mass; here & there at same time; measurable & non-measurable
Quantus  Latin for ‘how much?’

28. Reaching our Quanta Limit
SOS
Reaching our Quanta Limit
“Beyond a certain median per capita energy level, the political system and cultural context of any society must decay”
(Ivan Illich, Energy & Equity essay).

29. DOOM: POPULATION 11 BILLION In year 2100
Temperature Trend
Adapted from
In Lovelock's 2006 book, The Revenge of Gaia, he argues that the lack of respect humans have had for Gaia, through the damage done to rainforests and the reduction in planetary biodiversity, is testing Gaia's capacity to minimize the effects of the addition of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This eliminates the planet's negative feedbacks and increases the likelihood of homeostatic positive feedback potential associated with runaway global warming.

Albert Einstein said “Nothing will benefit health and increase the chance for survival of life on Earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet” –Albert Einstein

36. Would you CHANGE your FOOD-PRINT?

37. MY POINT
Most people are not going to Bike to work or become Vegan, so the C02 will rise
But, we can Become RESILENT in what we SOW, and change our Ways

38. How to have less of a FOOTPRINT on Earth?
1. Walk and Bike more
2. Change your Diet a little
3. Scale down Energy Use
4. Be SOS – School of NMSU
