Many Programs – One Approach

Environmental education programs in many communities lack real-world application. Students learn concepts but leave without understanding how it applies to their life nor the practical tools to be able to make reasonable, constructive choices when confusing problems arise.

TEO's educational materials go to the heart of the matter, stripping away false information the reader may have, providing accurate information and real-world tools. Youth, parents, business and community leaders and their employees, and government regulators come away with heightened understanding of the most basic principles for the enhanced survival of all life forms: whether you are a microbe, elephant, or human, balanced give and take with the world around you gives the greatest chance of a healthy, flourishing life.

Thirty-six countries are gripped by extreme drought. Two billion lives are on a knife's edge. The shallow groundwater that four billion people drink, wash, and farm with is being drained and poisoned faster than the Earth can replace it. The well is running dangerously low.

Turns out that freshwater was never a scarce commodity. The knowledge of a massive, alternative source that most know nothing about, and the method to find it was. We found, acquired, and advanced a scientific method for locating water veins rising from deep within the planet — a hidden reserve said to hold six times the volume of every ocean on the surface. Our technology makes it possible to precisely find and tap into it, taking pressure off of depleted shallow reservoirs and surface waters and allowing them to recharge naturally.

More than 80 projects. Over 8 million acres analyzed with pinpoint accuracy. Farmers, ranchers, municipalities, and industry told exactly where to drill and how deep. Fields back in production. Towns with water their residents can count on. The future of freshwater isn't running out. It's opening up.

Environmental contamination doesn't just poison ecosystems — it kills the microscopic bacteria that are Nature's own cleanup crew, the army built to break down toxins and restore balance. And conventional chemical cleanup? It piles new poisons on top of the old, or quietly moves the mess somewhere out of sight.

When the world's largest oil blowout disaster occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, we went looking for cleanup methods we could stand behind. Out of every product on the market, exactly one cleared our common-sense bar: OSE II (Oil Spill Eaters II). We spent the next seven years putting that finding in front of oil executives, government regulators, and community leaders — anyone with the power to change how spills are handled.

That publication has reshaped the conversation inside industry and government alike, helping to open the door to OSE II's use in more than 80 countries — cleaning up massive oil spills that had been written off as permanent scars. The age of relocating pollution is ending. The age of actually cleaning it up has begun.

Most donors never see the work they support. That disconnect weakens long-term engagement and trust.

TEO organizes tailored Eco Safari adventures upon request by groups of 8 or more travelers, bringing supporters into the field in southern Africa to see and participate in our active programs firsthand.

Informed, long-term supporters who return as advocates, ambassadors, and increased donors.
