Jacque Fresco
Global Sustainability
Jacque Fresco is a futurist, industrial designer, behavioral scientist, artist, inventor, author and a master of "out of the box thinking". Fresco offers a bold new way of looking at our world and its unworkable social systems. He envisions a global civilization in which science and technology are applied in tandem with human and environmental concerns to secure, protect, and encourage a more humane world for all people, where human rights, are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life.
