Ross Hunter is a commercial writer. Not many writers can also run a development team, but Hunter has been creating content and managing user interaction for the Web since 1996. Hunter has developed and promoted websites within a results-oriented marketing communications mission that includes social networking, advertising, and conversion to action. He has written content for diverse industries, including finance, law, Buddhism, engine supercharging, executive excellence, and software development, and always with the goal of giving the reader ease of comprehension.

Hunter is a communicator and editor, an original writer, and a detail-oriented project manager, sensitive to stakeholder consensus as both team player and leader. He contracts individually as a writer, and offers development and management with his own team or yours. He also volunteers as an outreach and communications coordinator for a non-profit, Buddhist teaching organization, the Austin Shambhala Meditation Center.

The focus of development for Hunter and Associates today is the rapidly growing, top concern of the whole world, namely climate change, and sustainable resource creation. We believe that the world’s economy must evolve into a sustainable model. This requires capital formation and reformation that budgets into every business not only the extraction and delivery costs but also the replacement costs of all resources taken from the Earth. Capitalism must insist on profits from operations that mitigate all their environmental impacts, ultimately to the standard of zero footprint.

Capitalist arithmetic must switch away from externalizing costs onto objects outside the specific profit model, and towards including all stakeholders, active and passive. Business operations must look to the furthest plausible reach of relevant environment. And profitability means they should continue operating through unlimited, successive generations of customers. Achieving this switch will bring stable commerce and enterprise to the world for the first time ever. To accomplish this end will take much work, over perhaps fifty years, perhaps two hundred.
