	I am initiating a research project that seeks to develop on  
sustainability in ecology.  The main emphasis of the project is to further  
research the works of John and Nancy Todd (natural system design  
precepts), Amory and Hunter Lovins  of the Rocky Mountains Institute  
(resilient technological systems), and Wes and Dana Jackson (prairies as  
ecological farms).   I find their ideas about organic waste treatment,  
architecture, farming, and production very interesting and extremely  
important for the future.  I first learned of these ideas in a piece by  
David W. Orr on Ecological Literacy: Education and the Transition to a  
Postmodern World.  That was the first time that I had heard of some of  
their proposals and I wish to better educate myself  so that I might  
better inform others as well.  This reading  was a handout copy of the  
original and there was no bibliography included.
	I would be extremely greatful if anyone has any information about  
these people, topic areas, or current news on the issues.  Any further  
bibliographical information would be of great help to and to my project  
also.  
	Thank you for your time and please address any responses to my  
address below or this group.
