OUR TEAM & MISSION
We are a startup company looking for new team members to assist in our mission to create wellness based sustainable restoration ports. We believe that the climate crisis is a time sensitive epidemic that requires & deserves individuals actively advocating for clean energy projects that will change the course & direction of our uncertain future.
Encouraging the next generation to learn & understand the importance of recycling and how water & nutrition are basic human rights that aren't being met in many communities around the world.
The wealthy are not prioritizing investments for the betterment of our planet and environment but rather their own pockets.
We need to fundamentally understand how the Meat, Oil, & Fossil Fuel industries, on an intricate complex level, are the ones creating the problem.
Large companies with unethical and non-transparent production methods put the blame onto citizens, rather than taking responsibility for their inability to create products that are sustainable, reusable or recyclable.
Yes, on an individual level we are responsible for doing the best we can to preserve and work to live lives consciously & as minimally as possible, yet companies are to blame for our crises & should be held responsible. Simply because something is plastic does not mean it can be recycled or will be recycled.
In fact most think that recycling is the end to the problem of waste & their moral responsibility to the burden of the climate crises, but rather this is the true beginning of a new problem exposing our systems unproductive recycling methods.
Programs such as battery recycling can help prevent the demand for Chinese companies funding illegal mining sourcing materials made to make most batteries we use today, including your electric tesla! We need to work harder and think smarter about how we can fundamentally change our routines and putting significant pressure on companies to change their methods of production and supply. We must improve our recycling systems so people understand where their waste goes, and how we can all collectively participate in the manifestation of a utopian future we desire. From farmers to AI software engineers, we are all in this together, and essentially all want the same thing.
Instead of threatening to take away jobs putting people out of business, we must create new opportunities for sustainable clean projects to thrive, bringing attention and putting pressure towards investors to fund projects beneficial for our planet, not detrimental to it.
If we can think about the materials we use on a day to day basis, we can start to realize we may be overusing and holding onto material possessions which aren't essential or necessary.
To transition from buying a cup of coffee a day to creating a station at home using kitchenware that is reusable and durable, instead of using the k cups or chemex drip coffee which reuqires papers, switch to french press.
All of our food waste after meals, can be composted at home and turned into healthy soil for home or garden plant growth.
We will be building our retreats and restoration ports with new technology created by Swiss inventors featuring stairs & walkways that generate electricity to power our lighting systems as you walk on them.
We are partnering and supporting companies such as S’wheat who are creating reusable water bottles made entirely from plants!
Joining our community
We are creating our network and community of members who will gain private access to our Restoration Ports. With our prototype location we will welcome guests to experience the profound healing effects of our restoration ports and wellness experiences offered for themselves, positive words will spread to the right audience appreciating our mission and vision. Our incentive is to encourage people to have a short 1-2 max night stay, to enforce consistent turn around reservations, and to allow guests to take advantage of the restoration ports as a refueling base for themselves, and their electric vehicle.
Our ports will be off grid & highly private, yet accessible to any traveling members who are venturing off grid and seeking accommodation that is affordable and convenient without sacrificing your quality of a personalized restorative experience. Our Restoration Ports are perfect for individuals or couples, being as each Restoration Port will feature up to 3 wellness pods designed and relevant to each environment which that particular Restoration Port is located. For instance, choosing to put a restoration port in desert like environment such as Arizona, would likely include an ice cold plunge & float tank. A retreat in the snowy mountains would highlight a finnish sauna or aromatherapy based steam room etc.
Each restoration port will be within 5- 10 minute drive from high traffic driving areas and/or natural wonders tourist attractions.
Instead of settling for the local hotel in an unfamiliar place you've never been to before, you will now have the choice to stay at the closest & available Equilibrium Restoration Port, for the same price, while offering you so much more than simply a place to sleep with low quality breakfast.
We recognize the importance of recovery from both a physical and mental perceptive. Beyond a bed and breakfast, Equilibrium Restoration Ports invites you to escape the chaos of the cities & grid, to find reclusive in off grid wellness based ports that are designed to accommodate your adventures & explorations while offering a high quality oasis option for those valuing wellness, quality design fully immersed & inspired by nature, seeking privacy to enjoy a healing & rejuvenating retreat.
After your stay at a restoration port, you have the opportunity to purchase sustainable products based on products used on site relevant to wellness and off grid traveling.
Our exclusive community access perks of being a member
Guests have the ability to pre-select their preferences of smart home settings. Your custom profile on the Equilibrium App will customize your experience at the retreat for your arrival.
Obtaining our app and membership to our community is required to access any & all Restoration Ports.

Prior to your official check in, the property will be ready for your use immediately thanks to pre loaded preferences.
OUR VALUES & OUR WHY
We believe in clean drinking water for all. And that is why we are proud to be supporting charities that fight for clean access to drinking water and sanitation for communities that need it the most. Our restoration ports are meant to be a recluse and escape from your reality, and providing a sanctuary where you feel safe and free to be yourself & enjoy all the effects of the property without fear of interruption or risk of safety.
It is hard to build high quality off grid resort retreats for our community, without addressing the large disparity between Americans' access to water versus less fortunate communities around the world where it is a luxury. Everyone not only deserves, but is entitled to clean drinking water regardless of where you were born.
LifesStraw is a company that has built, designed & sells portable and effective water bottles, straws and filters turning unsanitary water into clean drinking water.
Organizations such as Water.org are building permanent water stations that provide clean drinking water to children, families and communities.
Children in Tanzania, for example, have to walk hours in order to retrieve their drinking water, which not only is incredibly inconvenient but forces them to decide between drinking water and going to school.
In american and first world countries, it is hard to fathom not being able to drink clean water, yet this is the reality for so many. The most essential nutrient of all, something that gives us life, energy, and health.
There are many projects looking to address the world climate crises, but something that is inarguably essential is the basic human right of access to clean drinking water for all.
OUR INDEPENDANT OFF GRID SELF SUSTAINING FREE ENERGY SYSTEM
WAKING UP
We believe it is our time to wake up as free people. The energy and power grid keep us chained to an artificial reality that is being pushed upon us increasingly more as AI technology develops.
As we notice tech companies encouraging people to enter their virtual world… We are inviting you to experience profound nourishment of the soul which is a place you can go to in person, and experience for yourself the powerful effects of holistic therapy paired with top tier personalized accommodation.
We belive in investing in technologies that will change the course of our future for the better.
Reinvesting in sustainable free energy projects is essential if we hope to change the focus on oil and fossil fuel based energy, and moving towards the endorsement of sustainable clean energy powered by the sun.
We are looking to work with bright minds and scientists to help us develop our products which hope to reinvent and produce new ways for individuals to generate their own sustainable energy and for daily and off grid use.

ACCESSIBILITY FOR TRAVELERS
LOCATION OF OUR PORTS
Equilibrium Restoration Ports will build off grid ports for travelers to mimic the convenience of a service or rest stops. Not only will your experience be off-grid & private, but they will be accessible within 5-10 minutes from natural attractions and high traveled roadways.
Get to experience the thrill of adventuring off-grid while having a base to retreat to afterwards.
We no longer have to consider traveling off-grid as a distant fantasy. We will make traveling off-grid accessible to our community. Pulling people out of cities, and encouraging free spirits and travelers to escape their bubble and find recluse in our oases.
RECYCLING / PLASTIC / SUSTAINABILITY
The growing waste problem
Most of the things we recycle, get downgraded into products that don't get recycled again.
Large companies have tried to shift the burden of waste for recycling onto us, the people and absolving companies of responsibility for the products they produce.
Framing consumers as both the problem, and solution to waste.
Recycling Plastic is low
We've generated 8.3 billion tons of plastic since the 1950s, only 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated, and the rest accumulated into landfills, dumps or the environment.
Different combinations of materials to create plastic, make it increasingly difficult to recycle. To sort and create new materials is expensive & challenging.
Companies find it cheaper to produce new plastic. Recycled plastic is more expensive and increases the more it is recycled. American recycling facilities shipped their plastic waste to China, until China stopped accepting foreign waste in 2018.
We now see growing trends of replacing aluminum and paper.
70 percent of aluminum remains in use today.
Recycled aluminum and paper, have been attempts to replace the plastic, which are more effective in recycling and produce lower emissions. But now creates a new problem, recycled aluminum and paper, tips production methods into unsustainable ones.
Producing a single aluminum can creates two times the greenhouse gasses as a new plastic bottle.
Recycling isn't working. Until the 1950s, Americans used reusable packaging such as glass bottles for milk which had a 96% return rate.
With rise of produced plastic, by 1970s, rate for returned containers dropped below 5%
In 1971 New York taxed on plastic bottles
Congress debated a ban on non returnable containers in 1973.The State of Hawaii banned all plastic bottles in 1977.
Yet Oil, Beverage Companies and the Plastic Industry fought and ended the ban on non returnable containers.
In 1970 these companies launched marketing campaigns to misinform and change public perception of who was responsible for plastics waste & what the solution should be.
Concept of “Recycling” Keep America Beautiful” campaign was pushed by companies such as Coca Cola,Pepsi, Dow Chemical, and Mobile company, shifting blame of waste from product production to end user. Problem became what individual consumers did with plastic once they bought it, rather than the creation of plastic products in the first place.
In 1988 Alliance council for solid waste solutions claiming they could recycle 25% of plastic bottles by 1995.
In 1989 Amoco, Mobile, Dow formed the National Poly Styrene company claiming they would do the same for food packaging…
Financial and logistical responsibility fell onto taxpayers & consumers, instead of companies responsible.
Corporate emphasis on recycling continues today.
Exxonmobil funded recycling partnership in 2018
Launched an alliance to end public waste in 2019…
Exxon and other oil companies ramp up plastic production as the use for fossil fuels for energy, falls out of favor.
Plastics which use fossil fuels for every step of their production are set to overtake coal plant emissions by 2030.
In the last 20 years, the plastics lobby have pushed that the majority of states to require the recycling symbol on plastics, whether they are recyclable or not. Plastics are extremely difficult to recycle. If the public thinks recycling is working, they will not be as concerned about the environment.
The solution may be to ban all single use materials, since the vast majority of plastics aren't even able to be recycled.
The solution
We need to shift focus away from the process that happens after you use your plastic item being thrown away, and move towards focusing on how or why those products were made in the first place. Making smarter choices, living minimally to reduce the use of non essential materials, valuing & questioning how products are made & how companies package them, and enforcing rules that reduce everyone's plastic use, will all be great ways we can collectively work together to help create a cleaner nature positive, more sustainable future and reaching a net zero economy.
