Preface
​
Want to discover the shortcut to a Planet wide Fossil Fuel Free Supply Chain for all?

It starts with believing that together we can achieve the design and completi
on of one such Earth nurturing Clean Copper™ Supply Chain and metaphoric Bridge within the decade.  (Who knows? Maybe actual?)

While one such Bridge, real or symbolic, may or may not seem tangible, we submit the former can be realized within the decade.  

We start at the very beginning: we are certain today's Global Supply Chain's network of transportation and upstream elemental providers, namely oil& gas and copper (both equate to the Extractives Sector) can be incentivized by Allied Members of The Supply Chain to collaborate on the adoption of a proven critical path to a non-depletable future for our children.

This non-depletable pathway is clear and plausible, then possible only when we all call forth Clean Copper™in our supply chains from the copper mining companies.


A call to action by a dedicated Clean Copper™ Supply Chain Alliance means we must make our voice heard in the Boardrooms of copper miners large and small. When miners, producers, and refiners all chose to operate on Solar & Hydrogen based industrial processes, then a Fossil Fuel Free supply chain for our downstream customers and consumers to Vote on with their purchasing power becomes possible.

There is a bonus for Alliance members to convince upstream metals providers to embrace all Solar & Hydrogen technologies: lower GHG emissions, and a more accurate Life Cycle Assessment for all.  

Keep reading...  

We are indeed proposing a separate Supply Chain for all to opt-in. We envision a separate supply chain, vociferously Branded by its penchant for Solar & Hydrogen Refinery Science.   

One such mandate by a Clean Copper Supply Chain Alliance for all non-depletables to be adopted by
Copper Mining is no longer hindered by technology breakthroughs. Only rather informing and incentives are lacking.

Enter our gamified design for doing so, FOX EARTH -- Find The Copper In Your Supply Chain.  

The time is now for supply chain managers and consumers to collectively let their voice be heard at the extreme upstream, i.e. Copper Mining Boardrooms by discovering for themselves just how dependent our lives are on copper, albeit simultaneously, not at all on oil & gas.


Don't believe in Climate Change? We are not here for that debate. It doesn't matter you or your neighbor's politic. We exist to focus mankind's energies on an elemental material that none of us can live without: copper.

We are focused on the undeniable pollution in our cities that derives from $2.4T per yr of transport fuel emissions (95% from crude oil) powering 1+ billion trains, boats, planes, and autos, trucks... These spew anthropogenic toxic waste into our children's environment and future. 

Did you know?:  74% of these emission derive from the transport fuel refineries, not your tailpipe...

Clean Copper Supply Chain Alliance, pbc has technologies fully optioned and licensed that leverages this quirk of a detail as part of its optimized pathway for member Allies and Investors to partake.  To do so, one must elect an Ally level that opts in to IDASOLE* -- our R&D Industry-Academic Consortium. 
*
IDASOLE - Institute for Design Architecture & SOL•MAX•ION Engineering.

Discover with FOX EARTH™ your supply chain's optimal route that can assist the Alliance to fast track to Fossil Fuel Free regional economies.  The common denominator of the exercise leads back to The Alliance's leaning in on Copper Mining Cos to innovate and demand of their own work force to embrace change out of their fuel supplies to Solar & Hydrogen only.

Downstream Clean Copper Alliance to Upstream of our Supply Chain: Can we meet in the middle and discuss?  We need your help, we need your attention to the matter.

​The results will be stunning-- for our planet, as well as Copper Mining's Sustainability record. The Metals Mining Industry currently struggles to overcome their own "extractive" footprint. But letting them know we care, they will care they've downstream partners wanting to cheer them on to race past their oil & gas extractive cousin.

Our message: copper and innovation matter more than even Paris Cop Talks.  We need Clean Copper™ now.  Can you deliver?


A new day of Deep Ecology sustainability has have arrived. Our mantra is Clean Copper™ In The Chain from the upstream to the downstream.  What could be more thrilling than to ultimately find Clean Copper™ in everybody's Chain?

FOX EARTH is here to help us all achieve our prize of Clean Copper™. The winner? civilization, mankind, all those that realize we owe it to our children to clean up our messes before we ask them to clean up theirs.


​What is there to lose but another century of Fossil Fuels dependency?

​The Millau Viaduct

by Charlotte M Thornton

PictureOriginating Croquis (Click Image)
An Impossible Dream for fifty plus years,  a Croquis Design Idea for traversing the largest canyon in Europe suddenly was able to overcome stakeholder morass to be transformed to an award winning civil-environmental engineering solution. Then Voilà, three years to Commissioning, under budget ahead of schedule, The Millau Valley that habitually represented a disconnect so vast and impossible for travelers of global culture and trade between France and The Meditterrean was spanned so as to cut four hours from trips. The stand still two lane traffic was polluting the entire Tarn Valley ecosystem and ville of Millau in the canyon. Naysayers could not imagine a bridge design nor project plan that all could agree on, much less afford, or construct. From a single croquis that excited all, a bridge of seven towers, building on, and built buy the legacy of the 1889  Eiffel Tower, span the Tarn River and its plethora of hairpin turns throughout a canyon well deserving to be saved from car emissions from stall traffic as if it were a city.

The Millau Viaduct, now connecting all, is all things to all people: for those that are racing between Paris and Barcelona, four hours have been shaved off; for those wanting to protect this Grand Canyon of Europe, a new cultural and aesthetic icon draws the touristic traveler into the Canyon to visit the now infinitely preserved town of Millau and the Canyon's ecosystems. To look up and experience the tallest bridge in the world is now synonymous with experiencing the Canyon, cars flying high at 300 m, and a mirage of sail boats racing on a dark calm sea at night. Special engineering facilitates rainbows and are often seen for the science of light put to work by architects and engineers wanting to leave a legacy of legacies.

So what gives with the world's Supply Chain consumers and suppliers stuck on a willingness to accept fossil fuel dependency as inevitable?  Is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) really an option given the Gas Fracking debate goes unresolved, even squelched? Are we, the consumer-suppliers not the owner of the global economy and its chain? And if so, when allied, are we not able to effect the change from Fossil Fuels to all non-depletables as our preferred fuels of our future?  

We believe we not only can, but must.  We have formed The Clean Copper Supply Chain Alliance, pbc (public benefits corporation) in order to declare the blueprint, project schedule, and management thereof as open for business, looking for allies, ready to launch.  We don't have all the answers, yet, but allied, we can, we will -- and put on a project schedule, success is without question for supply chain managers are the best project managers, are we not?

Let us divide up the work and get after it!
We are here as an initial gamified platform waiting for those supply chain collaborators, the early adopters, to roll up sleeves and get to work.

Congresses, policy makers, and global press do not manage our Global Supply Chain. We do.  While Paris COP 21 talks may be of interest and declared successful COP talk by COP Talk, for many others, they mean more regulatory compliance, costs and Carbon Taxes to be reckoned.

Enter our Driver's Seats: Clean Copper™. Did you know -- what while Oil & Gas is a high profit margin Extractive Industry, its assets (booked oil reserves, i.e. inventory) are now deemed as Stranded Assets by most all Institutional Investors.  And indeed they are: the top major Oil Cos have been forced by shareholders to have on file their plan for their Stranded Assets defined as booked assets that when combusted (used) they will tip the climate beyond 3 degrees of the UN IPCC irreversible line.

Copper on the other hand is already 80% recycled. For it to be the leading edge sustainble Extractives sector, it needs to realized that operating on 99% Solar & Hydrogen non-depletables could cause it to be the missing Hero on the scene of all Sustainbility groups across the supply chain.  To date, Big Copper is satisfied to comply with the copper industry's own written milestones.  It is time that a group of Allied Downstream Consumers and Suppliers call on Big Copper and invite them up to bat.  They have so much to offer initiatives such as Sustainable Brands, Green Biz VERGE, and Ethical Corporation's opportunities for collaboration among industry sectors, yet Big Copper is as yet not showing up outside of their own Groupthink.

​
We advocate a different kind of quota for different reasons: the pollution in our cities and the early deaths, and long term health degradation transport fuels in our cities impose upon us all.  If we focus on the total Supply Chain's pollution, the Greenhouse Gases will continually decrease as well.

Today, most all consumers and supply chain stakeholders want to see realized a planet with no pollution, no Greenhouse Gases -- but we all feel helpless when it comes to that Elephant in the Chain, i.e. the fossil fuels in everyone's transport life cycle line item.

We believe Fossil Fuels will continue to be the Achilles Heel of all Sustainable Brands until we -- the suppliers, OEMs, and consumers become allied together and simply mandate our own "moonshot" calling on all Copper to accept the Downstream Challenge to rise to the occasion to become the 21st century leading edge commodity, thereby displacing oil, a commodity upon which copper and copper pricing (including copper producer's profit margins) is dependent.

When the world's copper supply is produced via Solar & Hydrogen Refinery Science, we calculate and intuit a 21st Century Industrial Revolution.  Yes, the power of a Consumer-Supplier Alliance can prove out to manifest a bonafide 21st Century Industrial Revolution.

If thought of in terms of a Moonshot, we dub the fast track to the finish line: "Clean Copper™ in The Chain". As it turns out, there are necessarily two sources of Fossil Fuel emissions in everyone's supply chain: both are known as coming from the Extractives industries -- (1) Oil & Gas, and (2) Mining.

Oil & Gas emissions are well understood and codified with data. Not so with metals mining: the good news is, all metals mines can be rationally brought forward to Zero Emission, Zero Waste Deep Ecology standards by simply adopting what we dub as "21st Century Solar & Hydrogen Refinery Science".

And if and when Mining does so, especially copper mining, something magical unfolds: the extreme upstream mining basecamps that currently are the Achilles Heel of Big Mining for their ongoing community uprisings and nationalist pushbacks and disconnects, can become the world's first all Solar & Hydrogen Regional Economies. What is best for the Global Supply Chain is good for upstream mining towns and countries is good for Big Metals Mining, especially copper.

Now -- such a feat is entirely doable and certainly worth celebrating by the consumer and supply chain managers themselves, but to effect change at Big Mining, We the Downstream must make our Message known to the extreme upstream Mining Cos Board rooms.


Humanity's divide over the how, when, and where to progress Beyond Petroleum to a Fossil Fuel Free future can be fast tracked by starting with copper mining regions, and via the operative and mantra of Clean Copper™. And if regionally, then planet wide.  The Elephant in the Room for supply chain managers, i.e. the fossil fuel in the overall supply chain, currently mimics one such grand canyon chasm of divide. How overcome the dependency on fossil fuel in one's supply chain transport links and the many modes and fuel types each require as it connects supplier to vendor to consumer to customer?  

​Disconnects
divide us all.  Climate Change is one such disconnect. Is it real? Is it man-made?  Is our planet doomed? Is it all about Left vs. Right? Buckminster Fuller´s Spaceship Earth is truly fragile, and we are in charge. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall...
We may be divided or still debating Climate Change, but no one can deny that Peking, China c. 1978 had Zero Pollution and today, post Westernization with zillions of cars and new factories, one cannot see but for 2 to 5 feet on a good day in Bejing.

Enter Clean Copper™ Supply Chain Alliance.  

Copper™ already unwittingly connects us all.  Did you know?  Our global supply chain, your job, my job, everybody´s jobs depends upon it!  Not so for Fossil Fuels. We can have a theoretically economy without Fossil Fuels, but we cannot have a theoretical economy without copper.

We exist to educate and provide all users, all stakeholders the opportunity to have their voice heard inside Big Copper Mining's boardrooms.  

The Clean Copper Supply Chain Alliance, pbc has created many portals for B2 and C2s to Vote with your consumer and supplier dollars for Clean Copper™ -- which is a positive action upon the lever inside Copper Cos Boardrooms that also sends out a Vote for Solar & Hydrogen to displace, liter by liter, gallon by gallon, the fossil fuels in everybody's supply chain.  And that means YOU!

BECOME A CHARTER
ALLY TODAY.

We argue the world´s most important  metal is copper.  Commerce cannot exist without it.  And Copper is a mineral nutrient required for our body's immune system and general health. We are all born "owning" some. 

A trace of copper is good for your health.  A bit of carbon pollution can kill you when breathed over time.  If we clean up our copper mines, we can tip the decision makers' of industrial boardrooms to switch to all Solar & Hydrogen industrial processes.  Only Big Oil has nothing to gain.


If mankind's focus can be inspired to install Solar & Hydrogen at copper and all metal mines, smelters, then regional models of mini-hydrogen economies will expand to our cities, states, regions and nations.  

Life Without Oil™ is nearer than you think when you get on board The Clean Copper™ Supply Chain. 

NO  HOLDING
BACK.

ALLIED  - WE  ARE THE  FUEL
DESTINED TO BRIDGE  HUMANITY TO A  FOSSIL FUEL FREE  FUTURE.

ALLY  Today.
