About the Author
Eric Stevens – Founder of Now We Evolve
Strategic operator. Relentless builder. Author of Evolution Mine: The Industrial Evolution.
Eric Stevens has spent his career at the intersection of supply chains, manufacturing, and big-picture economic change.
From building lithium battery and inverter production lines in Texas to creating international trade partnerships in Vietnam, China and India, he has seen how global manufacturing really works—and how often it is rigged to favor fossil-fuel incumbents.
Eric holds multiple patents, including the BumperBib, Kewi Cover, and the EcoPrint Label.
Each invention reflects a simple pattern: when the system blocks progress, he designs a new path.
From Operator to Author
Evolution Mine: The Industrial Evolution, traces a century of petrochemical dominance and the deliberate suppression of natural alternatives like hemp and bamboo.
It is not just history; it is a blueprint for a new bio-economy built on regenerative materials and smart consumer power.
Why Now We Evolve
Eric founded Now We Evolve to turn the book’s ideas into action.
The site’s three pillars: The Petro Playbook, Wall of Evidence, and Future Forge, expose how the old economy works and show how everyday purchases can fund a new one.
No political allegiance required: logic, data and coordinated consumer demand are the real levers of change.
Beyond the Boardroom
Eric balances high-level operations with family life in Texas, where he and his wife Ariel are raising a family and building a legacy of regenerative commerce.
When he’s not mapping supply chains or drafting chapters, you might find him in a hemp field, at a local community meeting, or refining the next big idea with a notebook in hand.
“Protests change headlines. Purchases change factories.”
