FAITH & NETWORKING SPEAKER SERIES

Event Description - Faith & Networking Speaker Series

Mission of Global Peace Containers:

To enable global peace through affordable, sustainable housing for every man, woman and child in the world--one of the human rights listed in the United Nations Bill of Rights. To improve humanity by re-purposing shipping containers into sustainable and affordable homes, schools, medical, community, library, government, military, and telecom centers.

Building at almost half the price in half the time by establishing a local factory to create a tax base, hiring and training of the local workforce to create jobs, and use of local materials to keep money in the local community.

Rapid deployment in case of emergency:  Containers are air-tight, made to float and resistant to hurricanes on land or sea, earthquakes, mudslides and tornadoes. Come network and be inspired as alumnus Soren Ludwig, shares with us his experience with serving the poor and homeless in these hectic economic times.

What are Shipping Containers?

Shipping containers are large steel boxes used on construction sites, trains, and ships for global shipping. These containers are designed to withstand 3,000 tons of weight each while stacked ten high.

Containers are air-tight, made to float and are resistant to hurricanes on land or sea, including mudslides and earthquakes.
There are so many containers they could circle the earth twice. Our suppliers are socially-responsible companies interested in reducing their inventory while providing the bases for new schools and community buildings.
Containers make superior structures compared to conventional buildings.

Why Reclaim Use of Shipping Containers and Avoid Deconstruction?

Peace Containers housing is changing building construction world-wide through the re-purposing of used shipping containers.

Reclaiming containers previously considered unusable, and renewing them for building structures solves many environmental issues. It saves trees and other materials made from valuable resources. Rapid deployment in case of emergency: Because the frame already exists, there is better use of time for building new structures. Unused Containers take up great amounts of precious harbor space.  It is cost-prohibitive to separate, disassemble and melt shipping containers for reuse of metal. Because containers are rarely returned to their origination points, it is less expensive to manufacture new containers at departure points than return them to their origination points for reuse.  Shipping companies save money and free up harbor space of unusable containers. It is more economically feasible to re-purpose shipping containers.
