The Emerald Trek

The Emerald Trek will cross 300,000 miles, through 143 countries, across six continents.







The Emerald Trek is linking principals identified among the 1,000 'best practices' in the 143 nations being visited through this world-wide movement. The Emerald Trek will take some five years and encompass 300,000 miles, visiting 750 major cities, and 50,000 suburban and rural communities in the identified nations.


Now that it is firmly established the Management and Advisors are ready to commence the North American and World-wide Trek Autumn of 2012. A number of mini-Treks have been conducted while planning preparing for the continuous and extensive Trek.   The mini-Treks in alphabetical order that have been made over the past five years include:  Argentina; Bangladesh; Bhutan; Brazil, Canada;  Chile; China; France, Germany, Honduras; India; Italy; Luxembourg; Marshall Islands; Mongolia; Papua New Guinea; Slovenia, Sri Lanka; Switzerland, Trinidad & Tobago; and Uruguay.  A special 20 day scientific research expedition will be conducted in Antarctica with companion study and daily broadcast from the South Georgia and Falkland Islands will be scheduled in 2013.

The world-wide EmeraldPlanet movement will link millions of professionals and citizens around the globe through a practical community-by-community identification, evaluation, broadcasting, and promotions Trek. This five [5] year project is to identify the "best of the best" technologies, services, and products.  This is the "high touch" portion of the EmeraldPlanet global movement following the "high tech" movie and book successes of An Inconvenient Truth created by former American Vice President and Nobel Laurent Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr.  

During the Trek we will:


  • If using a biodiesel-electric engine we will produce 100% of our own biodiesel from previously used vegetable oils or local oil seeds
  • Conduct on-site interviews, community based seminars, K- 12 school visits, and university lectures
  • Provide streaming video of our progress and experiences over the Internet through our own social networking sites reaching some two million (2,000,000) viewers daily. The EmeraldPlanet television program will be broadcast daily through its television station in Washington, D.C. USA. Additional coverage is already provided through WiFi/WiMAX TV and other Internet distribution channels
  • Long-term there will be weekly one hour television broadcast programs through the green channels of Discovery and National Geographic Television
  • Meet with representatives and members of the national and local Chambers of Commerce, AMCHAMS (American Chambers of Commerce abroad), civic groups (e.g. Rotary International, Friendship Force, Cities International), government agencies and ministries, and other community based stakeholders
  • The advantages for your organization, company, and non-profit as an underwriter will be, but not  limited to:


o   Participation as an official delegate of the United National ECOSOC Council at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development  in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for the “Rio + 20” Conference

o   Full media exposure and tie-ins with members of the "Alliances & Partnerships" in the United States and the major cities of the 143 nations during the lead up to the London based Olympics in 2012 and Brazilian based in 2016. 

o   World-wide exposure to some three and one-half [3.5] billion viewers during the five year world-wide Trek in 143 countries, 750 cities, and some 50,000 communities as mapped and detailed on the web site

o   Long-term the daily exposures will expand to at least  million [220,000,000] discrete visitors to our web site, Facebook, Meetup, Flickr, Youtube, and cable television channels, among others

o   Extensive real-time performance analysis and research on all performance aspects of special dual-fuel vehicles as established by the automotive manufacturer engineers and designers in every conceivable harsh environment on the globe using 100% biodiesel as the biomass fuel and electricity

o   A design and color scheme that will compliment a major underwriter  'green'  slogan(s) as desired

o   Signage at each of our stops along the Trek when the vehicles and related “best practices” technologies and products are on display at the various Mayor's offices, Chambers of Commerce, direct tie-ins with in-country dealer showrooms, used as backdrops and/or displays for university seminars and symposiums, filming at each of the 1,000 "best practice" sites where possible, among other Internet, special programming, and regular weekly TV broadcasts

o   Other prominent displays and scalable capacity of 2,000,000 discrete visitors daily

o   The effort will have tremendous potential for those sponsors providing products, services, and finances as we take the sustainable environmental message around the globe—up close and personal to over three billion consumers exhibits of the vehicles throughout the Trek

o   The official start will be at the United States Capitol in late Autumn of 2012 depending upon negotiations with Discovery Communications and National Geographic Television ending with a global television event in October, 2016 in New York City in conjunction with the General Assembly session of the United Nations and the (Former President Bill) Clinton Global Initiatives Forum
