The first Bios Center is now under construction at 72 Railroad Street in New Milford. The BIOS Center (TheBiosCenter.com) will serve as a Mecca that has already drawn interest from around the world with a unique array of offerings that can help people live lightly on the earth while bringing peace, prosperity, and balance to our planet.

The six pillars of our center will include an environmental art gallery and museum, healthy living center, green building technology center, eco- friendly retail shop, real estate and finance center, and the BIOS service network of green contractors. BIOS, is the Greek word for life. “BIOS is more than a brand it is a philosophy”, said founder, Steve Schappert, “You can do well, by doing good.” By showing the world they don’t have to make sacrifices to do the right thing, you can change lives and change the world.” A unique combination of technology, art and literature are being brought together by artists, health practitioners and business people to assist you in creating a healthier, happier and wealthier life. Our center provides an eco-friendly atmosphere for enlightened businesses to showcase their products, services and wares. Our mission is to nourish body, mind and spirit with healthy food; enriching educational activities; green living, holistic healthcare approaches, and conscious consumerism.

The house that Goji built. If you believe in Karma than it only makes sense that the main investor in the project would be one of the largest distributors of Himalayan Goji juice, touted as the world’s most nutrient rich food on the planet. Keith Mceachern is the largest distributor for Freelife International a multi level marketing company that sells the Goji juice and other nutritional products. The solid income earned from Goji allowed Keith to qualify for the construction loan when many other investors couldn’t. When I read the back of his card said Schappert, “I knew it was a fit, Keith’s personal motto is”, “To serve each other by promoting good health, well being and the opportunity for an abundant life.”

The Bios Center will offer five levels and 15,500 square feet of mixed-use real estate, with three residential units featuring breath-taking views and no heating, cooling and electrical costs. The building will utilize green construction technologies such as panelized construction, solar panels, cellulose and icynene insulation, Windows with low E-glass, fiber cement clapboard siding, hi efficiency heat pumps with SEER ratings ranging between 20-22 it may actually be the first solar-powered building in an historic district in the country.

Connecticut Real Estate and Construction the General Contractor for the project, anticipates rapid domestic and international growth. Owner Steve Schappert created the BIOS concept 4 years ago initially as a brand of energy efficient homes and shipped his first home package to Germany in January of this year. The Bios Center will help expand that brand name around the world as a leader in the sustainable market. Schappert is now dealing with contacts in Germany, Bulgaria, Australia and Moscow.

Schappert says, “It is time to take a stand, we don’t have 25 years for our automakers to catch up to China’s auto emission standards, that’s a joke! We need to start now, we need to change now, solar, wind, and hydro power are all clean and renewable and hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, we will never run out. Those are the answers, fossil fuel is going the way of the dinosaur and we will follow if we don’t wake up today. Nuclear… well if the plant doesn’t blow up, you still have all those barrels of waste to deal with. Ethanol, just another joke, either our farmlands are over taxed producing corn ethanol or we strip our topsoil everywhere by creating a market for cellulosic ethanol, either way, we loose. The biggest joke is the ethanol vehicles get roughly 27% less gas mileage than their all gas counterparts. Does anyone remember the 1984 Honda civic coupe, it got 67 miles to the gallon without a hybrid engine. It wasn’t rocket science the cars were lighter. Gas is approaching five dollars a gallon and Detroit is re-launching their old line of heavy muscle cars, frankly they deserve to go bankrupt. My question is, what are you going to do? There really are only two valid choices left, step up and be the change you want to see, or just get out of the way. Standing still with business as usual is no longer an option. I am stepping up and I am looking for a few good, committed people that believe you can change the world to work with me. There are 6 key elements to my plan.”

The Museum in conjunction with the sponsoring tenants will provide exhibitions, special events, festivals, educational workshops, symposiums, performances, and conferences. These events will often be organized along with neighboring businesses to create awareness for the Center and

"To translate knowledge and information into experience:
that is the function of literature and art." - Joseph Campbell

At The Bios Museum of health and the environment we will create an experience to translate information about the needs of our own personal health, and the well being of the planet, through the use of art, literature and various multi media, and technology displays. The Bios Museum will educate and inspire acceptance and understanding of the different ways in which we can live a healthier life while not taxing the resources of our planet. In addition to the Museum’s exhibit gallery learning space, the Museum will house: a Children’s Space, a Gift Store, and a school group/classroom facility. There will be a designated gallery featuring environmental art as well as displays throughout the building. The space will be filled with original works of art for sale and appreciation. Art will also be available for display and purchase online through The BIOS Center website.

BIOS SERVICE NETWORK
"We are now looking for contractors to team up to create the areas most reputable and environmentally sound contracting company providing maintenance, remodeling, new construction and material supplies, for the residential and commercial markets.", said Schappert. BIOS will bring the best companies together and promote them under the BIOS brand, to create a shared pool of knowledge, provide a more stabile working environment, group insurance, profit share and retirement programs, as well as assistance with legal, accounting, marketing and human resources. The service industry is labor intensive and it is often very difficult for small companies to provide long term stability, growth opportunities and benefits for their employees. This creates a hardship for the families of the employees, an almost impossible task for business owners to grow and lower service for customers. Companies will initially maintain their independence and be able to pick and choose from a menu of services. The most important of which will be education about energy and environmental issues that affect their business. "16 contracting companies and a staffing company have joined the network this week and I expect things to fill up quickly" said Schappert.
When asked why, Schappert says, "People ask me why I do what I do, it has been a long hard road, with three years invested in the office design and many personal sacrifices. I firmly believe in my dream, my personal goal in life mirrors my business concept, creating a better world for our children by helping people, saving the environment, and boosting the economy. I am hoping that others that believe in the same concept will step forward and help make it a reality."
