About Highland Winds: My business is multifaceted. I provide sustainable planning concepts and solutions, and research assistance on sustainable projects. I also offer fine art prints and organic pottery. My son Jason Kainz works as a photographer for the business, my son Zack Kainz is a sculptor. His work is also offered through the business.

 

Sustainable Practices, Products, & Services: My planning and research work focuses on assisting others with ideas, concepts, and research that provides sustainable approaches to community resource management issues. For example I have helped various towns with water supply management by conducting aquifer studies, and working on alternative development, zoning, and utilization methods. I have analyzed local recycling methods and encouraged political solutions to foster business developement of alternative uses of waste, including pellet production and utilization.

The photography, art, and pottery side of my business contributes to an overall concept of sustainability by providing locally produced products using local materials wherever possible, and local businesses. For example, right now I am looking for a local carpenter to fashion frames for my prints, and hope to have frames be made from either local wood, or local recycled materials. My pottery glazes are safe, using no toxic materials.
