Eco Technology

Our planet is fast transforming into a more crowded, more consuming, more polluting and more connected place than at any time in our existence. There is a growing recognition that humans are altering the Earth’s natural systems in and at all levels at an accelerated rate. The question now arises whether it is possible to satisfy the needs of a population that is growing exponentially while preserving the carrying capacity of our ecosystems and biological diversity. A related question is, what should be done now and in the near future to ensure that the basic needs for water, sanitation, nutrition, health, safety, energy and meaningful work are fulfilled for all humans. These commitments were defined as the "Millennium Development Goals" by the United Nations.

Sustainable development will be impossible without the full input of eco-engineering. We must adopt a completely different attitude towards our natural systems and reconsider interactions between engineering disciplines and other non technical fields with nature

For the past 150 years, engineering practice has been based on a paradigm of controlling nature rather than cooperating with it. Humans and the natural world are divided, and humans adopt an oppositional, manipulative stance toward nature.

Most engineering achievements of the past were utilized by us without consideration for their social, economic, and environmental impacts on natural systems. Not much attention was paid to minimizing the risk and scale of unplanned or undesirable perturbations in natural systems associated with such usage.

We will require a major paradigm shift from control of nature to participation with nature; an awareness of ecosystems, ecosystems services, and the preservation and restoration of natural capital and a new mindset of the mutual enhancement of nature and humans that embraces the principles of sustainable development, renewable resources management with appropriate technology.

Our goal at Pyramid Consulting is to foster the innovation, development, and testing of eco technologies that can be used to address sustainable energy issues in the developing world and to provide services in development, maintenance, testing and improvement of existing technologies and in their transfer to eco technology with education and training.

Partnering with our clients we are striving for a greener world by harnessing alternative energy sources for industrial and civilian use.
