Innovation in Green Industry

Area water treatment plants have begun examining an all-natural water filtration system since the late 1990s. This system is based in a long series of large green plants that live in water-filled troughs through which "waste" water for treatment is passed through their roots in a flowing stream. At the end of the line of beutiful plants, the water is crystal clear and ready to drink. Not one chemical is used in the process.

Such innovations will maintain and create green jobs throughout the 21st century in Sacramento city and county and are a model for the nation:

D-Q University is a school founded by Native American, Mexican-related and similar Metiz peoples for the good of all indigenous peoples.

The letter D represents the Name of the Great Peacemaker, Denagawida. He encouraged the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy, or Hodenoshone. His full name s spoken or written only in a religious ceremonial use, much as G_d is written by some of the Jewish faith out of respect, rather than to use the entire word and reduce the most high to a word in doing so.

The Q is for the great Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec prophet of wisdom, self-discipline, and self-mastery.

Thus, D-Q University carries a pround belief, mission, and philosophy in service to indigenous peoples and the local community at large.
