Carol Manetta was born in Michigan, USA and traveled extensively to research Virtual Reality in its early stages. This allowed her to form research protocols for other topics, including worker owned cooperatives, organic food production and more. Her master’s degree in instructional design, development and testing prepared her for community work after her tenure at Ford Motor Company and its subsidiary, Ford Credit, was completed. This experience brought her to other topics: prisoners returning to society, hydroponics production, food forestry, and more.
Her current path emphasizes the capability of trios of worker owned cooperatives to simultaneously restore large swaths of Earth in a hurry to manage rainwater, grow permanent food sources within food forests, and clean up waters from roadside ditches, ponds and other waters for the safety of all beings into perpetuity. She is Executive Director of Reap Goodness, www.reapgoodness.org, a global organization based in Arizona, USA.
