service in November of 1942 and spent twenty months overseas in the European Theater.
His entire professional career was spent as an industrial environmentalist with unique involvement in cooperative efforts with federal researchers prior to
the creation of USEPA. This activity based on innovative waste water treatment resulted in over twenty presentations in the U.S. and overseas.
Because of the early research work, he collaborated with USEPA as an advisor in the preparation of its field manual on "Overland Flow Treatment of Waste
Waters" and was awarded in 1979 by Region II EPA Certificate of Appreciation. During the 1970's he testified before Congress concerning rule makings in the
environmental area that created unnecessary costs for business resulting in increased costs for citizens. Mr. Gilde also obtained two patents in the
environmental field.
During retirement Mr. Gilde did volunteer work for the World Environment Center, a non-profit spinoff from the United Nations assisting U.S. Aide from the
State Department on environmental projects incorporate in U.S. Aide programs. He consulted in over a half dozen projects for different countries and was
sent to Egypt and Romania to conduct studies.
Mr. Gilde witnessed environmental matters from an unusual perspective in relation to business, government and the economy including the location of
numerous new plant sites vs. older plants in distressed areas. He sets forth recommendations for a less confrontational future to foster a more dynamic
economy where most of the federal bureaucracy is eliminated and the states are free to soar even higher than Texas and other pro-economy states. A section
of the book is devoted to the revitalization of the City of Camden, NJ as a national demonstration for urban America.view less
