After doing a bit of research on the history of your Solar Aquatic systems,  I am curious to know a few more details on the transition from new alchemy to living technologies OAI and EEA:

1) How was the jump from Arks and other bioshelters to living technologies for waste treatment made?

2)  Were the pre 1988 solar aquatic projects limited to those in San Diego, Austin, and Orlando  as listed in the 'solar aquatic wastewater treatment' article in the February 1988 edition of Biocycle Magazine? where were the others?

3) Were they built for the same reason as the pilot facilities in Harwich, Mass., Waterbury,VT, Jaffrey NH, and Providence, RI?

4) What is or was the Four Elements Corporation?
