This book is an honest answer
to a divisive struggle:

Private Property Rights versus
Environmental Protection.

The answer is... BOTH.

Leaders from both sides find its
proposals innovative and workable.

Isn't it time we tried something new?

Natural Process introduces a free-market environmental management system that gradually eliminates the need for permits, regulations, and agency enforcement. Its design starts with proven product-design and manufacturing process-control techniques used to assure consumer product quality and safety. These components are incorporated into a system of checks and balances that uses third party certification and pooled risk to price the use of natural assets objectively and demands inviolable protection of private property rights. This synthesis can improve our care of the environment in harmony with an advanced economy.

This 455 page, five-part work rigorously demonstrates how regulatory government operates under false premises, rendering its managing agencies dependent upon continuing problems, incapable of balancing competing risks, and subject to political corruption. The book makes its case with detailed analyses of original source data that reveal a new way to do better for both nature and humanity. It proposes specific examples and suggests an implementing strategy. It is a thought-provoking work that handles an emotional subject with a delightful sense of humor.

Mark Edward Vande Pol brings a diverse background to the field of environmental management. His experience includes hands-on research in habitat restoration, machine design, manufacturing electronics and medical devices, software development, pest control, formulation and compatibility testing, design of experiments, industrial and residential construction, regulatory compliance and quality system design, vendor qualification, and documentation control. His university education is founded in control system mathematics, economics, and Constitutional philosophy. He combines that experience with the drive and commitment, characteristic of product creators, and the respect for working people derived from having done the hard work with his own hands.

Mr. Vande Pol was a leading contributor to the Santa Cruz County Local Agenda 21 Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management Roundtable. His purpose was to see rigorous science respected in policy. The final document, presented as "consensus," was rewritten in secret by non-participants, unwittingly serving the interests of a select group of developers, bureaucrats, and politicians. The plan was not only outrageously expensive, it was assured to be hugely destructive to local habitat. It was a fraud.

That did it. Mr. Vande Pol halted his career and spent three years without pay, researching the causes of environmental mismanagement and developing this free-market alternative. Reading it carefully will forever change the way you see the role of private property, free enterprise, and individual liberty in improving environmental health.
