Jackson Madnick is a longtime environmentalist and water resources and sustainability expert who's work has been commended by two White Houses (first Bush and Clinton), the United Nations, John Glenn, National League of Cities and Al Gore, among others.

Jackson helped renew the National Clean Water Act, with a low-energy, nationally-televised event that gathered one million signatures for a petition to renew the act. He has been researching innovative ways to save energy, improve surface and groundwater quality and create healthier lawns that require no fertilizer, dramatically less time, money, water and green house gasses.

He lives in a sustainable house that he is renovating to produce 95 % of its heating, cooling and power from the sun and earth.
