"The ECCS Project envisions a transformative system that goes beyond traditional border security.
Not only addressing border security, but also fostering humanitarian and environmental benefits for the next generation.
Our vision is a border region transformed into a hub of both bi-national activity and economic prosperity simultaneously addressing both border security and providing the essential needs for all of humanity."
While the ECCS Project is currently an EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) project, the ECCS concept was conceived and designed by Environmental Futurist Mr. Dana R. Chappell back in 2018, soon after the former Presidential administration announced their plans to construct significant enhancements to the existing border fence along the U.S. /Mexico border.
Mr. Chappell believed the enhancements to the border separation structure did not fully address the fundamental emigration issues involved, the lack of basic human needs. He believed this piece of public security infrastructure could be dramatically improved if the design incorporated both environmental and sustainable Energy aspects and principles.
Academic comments on Human migration:
Human migration has always been dictated by three things; population growth, regional conflict, and the availability of needed human resources within a specific geographical area.
If an individual, or a group of individuals believe that their "basic human needs", i.e.; breathable air, a hospitable climate, food resources, clean water to drink, shelter, safety, employment, energy needs and so forth are not being met within a specific geographical area, they will attempt to either attempt to either address these issues within their home land, but failing that, they will attempt to emigrate to an another geographical area "where they believe these basic human needs and resources may be available in abundance".
Unfortunately, due to deteriorating global tensions and environmental conditions, "our basic human resources or needs" are quickly becoming increasingly scarce, and more expensive globally. Studies of human anthropology have shown that when an overwhelming amount of individuals from a foreign area attempt to immigrate into another tribes territory (or country) seeking to partake of, or exploit the other tribe's resources, conflicts will naturally occur. So what's the solution?
Option one: historically the presumed threat posed by an arriving hoard was addressed through some form of eradication or containment, i.e. by, violence, war, starvation, imprisonment, and so forth.
Option two; alternatively we can, create a more hospitable and verdant environment for everyone. We can sustainably and efficiently utilize more non-polluting energy resources to produce or grow more abundant food resources, clean the water we drink and the air we breath. Transforming previously uninhabitable land into new communities. Mexico and America have the ability to accommodate and absorb more people, but only if we do it intelligently, sustainably, and humanely.
We believe option 2 to be the preferable option, and this is the vision and goal of this research project.
Our goal is to scientifically prove the validity of our humanitarian vision and receive support to bring our research to fruition. When it comes to the convergence of environmental, chemical, bioengineering, and their related transport systems there are a myriad of viable and immediately lucrative economic and humanitarian opportunities awaiting both the governments of Mexico and the the United States, as well as the private sectors of industry within both countries.
The ECCS benefits the local community, as it provides clean energy, additional food resources, fresh water, and enhances local employment and training opportunities. In addition, our research project invites scientific collaboration, not just from academia, but from both the U.S and Mexican government, and each country’s private business sector. This collaborative approach ensures a broadened perspective and participation from people with varying technical backgrounds and innovative mindsets who are willing to not only provide their technical input, but perhaps additional financial aid to our research project. We understand that transformational impact changes are not limited to what you do, but how you do things.
With this in mind, we invite you to collaborate with us in any shape or form by using the button below. We appreciate any form of support for our humanitarian vision and we are excited to work together to achieve this common goal!
