Release: Loreto Bay hires David Veniot
http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?nd...
April 19, 2005
LORETO BAY, Baja California Sur, Mexico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2005--The Loreto Bay Company, currently developing The Villages of Loreto Bay, an
authentic Mexican seaside community in Baja California Sur, has reinforced its commitment to sustainable development by hiring David Veniot, former
president of Earth Day International, as Vice President for Sustainability.
Veniot will live in Loreto to oversee the sustainability commitments of The Villages of Loreto Bay throughout construction and work with a team of
respected consultants. The consultants are led by William G. (Bill) Reed, president of the Integrative Design Collaborative. Reed is an
internationally recognized specialist in issues related to green design and one of the founding board members of the U.S. Green Building Council.
Joining him is Michael Ogden, founding director of Natural Systems International, a company that specializes in the design and implementation of
natural treatment systems, and Tim Murphy, principal and designer of the Regenesis Group. Steven Zubkoff also has joined the Loreto Bay staff, to
direct affordable housing issues.
Loreto Bay Company is operated by The Trust for Sustainable Development, a Canadian not-for-profit community development corporation. The Trust's
mission is to operate according to the United Nations' Brundtland Commission's definition of sustainable development as "development that meets the
needs of the present generation without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
The primary aim of reinforcing the existing sustainability program is to showcase The Villages of Loreto Bay, a $3 billion, 15-year project, as an
ideal sustainable development practice. Sustainability performance targets have been determined for areas such as energy conservation, water
consumption and reduction of solid waste materials and air pollution. In addition, Loreto Bay is committed to enhancing economic opportunities and
development in the form of housing, planning, and training; as well as the creation of new jobs and local businesses.
"Our aim is to make The Villages of Loreto Bay an internationally recognized destination, not only for its livable mixed-use, health oriented, resort
lifestyle and authentic architectural design, but also for its environmental sustainability," said David Butterfield, president of The Trust for
Sustainable Development and chairman of Loreto Bay Company. "The appointment of David Veniot as Vice President for Sustainability and working with the
Integrative Design Collaborative reaffirms our commitment to creating a town that will both enhance the environment and stimulate economic development
in the region."

 This is sort of interesting. Very old news, in that it has been on the Loreto
Bay web site for a long time. Perhaps more interesting is the question of just how involved in Loreto Bay are the two companies: Natural Systems
International, and Integrative Design Collaborative. Last time I looked, there was no mention on either of THEIR websites about any involvement in
Loreto Bay.

This is "guerrilla marketing".
It should be treated as SPAM.

I don't think so. It's under "news" so anyone not interested in "news" can just over look it. I'm o.k. with this release and the others. I'm hoping
that it can be done, and can be done the way they claim. Looks like this team is going to add to their credibility. Much to the dismay of "those"
who oppose this project.

Seem's like it would fit more in the Real Estate for Sale part of the board. Strictly promotion for sales.

So, how is pumping water from 9 wells tapped into the local aquafer that others rely on, considered "sustainable"? It didn't work in San Quinten and
it won't work in Loreto.
