Mankind is facing some tough challenges in this modern era. We have progressed
at amazing speed through the technological age, harnessing the forces of nature to produce marvels that were not dreamed of a mere century ago. But the progress has come at a price. While some of us enjoy material comforts that were once reserved for royalty, much of the rest of the world is living in poverty. The global population has grown exponentially, putting enormous pressure on earth's resources, and we now have evidence that the very climate has been altered in a few short decades of industrial development. The technology that we would rely on to save us is also the technology that has been poisoning the air, the water and the land with its toxic by-products.

The environmental movement has mobilized to address these issues, but is the environmental movement enough? When we talk about pollution, and what causes it, what we're really talking about is people; about human behavior. Thus the real challenge is not what we should do about the environment, but what we should do about our fellow man; what should be done about the fact that so few people care.

The Garden Zone Management program addresses this problem at its source. It comes straight to grips with the hard reality of an uninvolved, disconnected society, starting right where people live, at the grass-roots – on the streets, in the parks, the plazas, and in the neighborhoods where we make our homes.
