After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Doughnut Economics is based on:
HUMAN NEEDS fulfillment of Water, Food, Energy, Health, Housing, Education, Income & work, Political voice, Networks, Peace & justice, Gender equality and Social equity.
EARTH CONCERN remediation of Climate change, Ocean acidification, Chemical pollution, Nitrogen & phosphorus loading, Freshwater withdrawals, Land conversion, Biodiversity loss, Air pollution, and Ozone layer depletion.
THE PROBLEM
- Throughout history, most humans were not well-educated.
- Most people were probably self-centered, some caring about their families, many were competitive to protect themselves and survive.
- For thousands of years, it was a cruel world with dominators, invaders, conquerors, enslavers and exploiters.
- Then there was feudalism and poverty for most people.
- The U.S. was based on exploitation of the native people and imported slaves.
- It has been a cruel world for many over these thousands of years.
- We are still seeing a world of dominators and the dominated, exploiters and the exploited.
- Politics has become hyper-competitive, with disinformation campaigns on social media, political lying, voting suppression and voting district rigging to ensure the protection of political, social and economic interests.
- In a world of hypersonic nuclear weapons, it is becoming clear that without peace, we will not survive the climate emergency because violence, conflict and war take up our resources, as well as our attention and focus, while business damages land, water and air, spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
- National political and geo-political systems, and economic and business systems, were created with lower levels of consciousness.
THE SOLUTION
- We need to understand how to create peace and collaboration for a better world, for humanity and nature.
- We need to evolve new conscious economic and political systems to create a sustainable, flourishing world for all and nature.
- We support Doughnut Economics as a conscious, evolutionary model.
- You can join this monthly conversation and support each other as we co-learn and co-evolve together.
- This is a lively, fun conversation on the third Sunday of each month at 12 pm EST.
- Tell your friends. Let's make colearning, coevolution, collaboration and cocreating fun.
Here is our present document we are codeveloping for free global distribution to help humanity evolve.

Hopefully well-rounded human, working at continuously learning to be better at it. I work in arts & culture by passion & desire, and in web development and management by fluke and ability to sustain my family. I revel in being a grandma, and love wandering among ancient trees and waterways. Helping my community move in thoughtful, progressive directions is where I spend my volunteer time, though there are so many ways that can happen I struggle to find a clear focus. I'm fascinated and invigorated by this concept of doughnut economics, and am excited to broaden my scope of understanding to be able to help my community embrace and implement it.

I am a retired systems engineer, formerly with General Dynamics Canada, who now volunteers with the Calgary Climate Hub and writes on behalf of Eco-Elders for Climate Action. As a climate activist, I'm working to stop old growth logging in BC, reject coal mining on Albertaâs eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, facilitate community involvement in a local Miyawaki forest project, and advocate for renewable energy. I've also done a little bit of guerrilla tree planting in my neighbourhood parks. I like to use a âsystems thinkingâ approach to learn, understand, and defend the ecosystems that are under threat by climate change and unrestrained resource development.
