In addition to their theoretical interest, these concepts have significant practical applications for businesses and other organizations. As a result, The Center�s web site now has two sections, one to continue theoretical discussion of the future, the other to provide information on how The Center can assist organizations to begin to create their futures now.

| Query from a reader: Subject: Theory Query Hello. I was curious if you had the (55 Saves 17%) bumper stickers available. I�m an huge advocate of conserving fuel through conservative driving practices. By doing so, I currently can squeeze an average of 30 miles out of a gallon of premium fuel in my 1992 VW Jetta. Please let me know. Thanks. Orlando, FL ANSWER: The text for the bumper stickers appears above. I've never invested in paying for adhesive stickers. I just post the signs in the rear of my car. -- Steve McCrea, Institute for the Post-Petroleum Era. |
