We Have a Wastewater Treatment Solution.  The host for this show is Mitch Ewan.  The guest is Dennis Furukawa.  

This is the 3rd episode in a series of discussions about the "Perfect Storm" of climate change, and over-reach caused by population and consumption rate of growth. The first episode defined the problem: the challenge of an economic system that demands and rewards both continuous growth and the lack of public understanding about the relationship between energy and productivity. This third episode continues an overview of the first set of solutions: Energy Efficiency (doing more with less) and energy conservation (using less energy) with a focus on wastewater treatment. Wastewater includes both potable water and the electricity to produce and dispose of it. University of Hawaii invented technology that addresses these issues by reducing/reusing precious water and reducing the energy to treat it by up to 50%. This solution allows us to optimize energy use. Importantly, this is a solution that is within reach of individuals and can impact many facets of our lives. It is being used today.
