Gippsland, Australia

Hi 👋🏼 I'm Alex and I live with my young family including three cheeky chickens in a small town in Gippsland. I love spending time in nature, especially hiking at Wilson's Prom. In a previous life I taught corporate English in Spain and developed teaching material for books and an online language platform. Now, as the Community Lead @ Regen Gippsland I'm looking forward to connecting with the DEAL community 🍩 and putting Gippsland on the map 🌏

I began reading the book this week, and I am so pleased to read it. As a classically trained economics and finance major from 25 years ago, I never liked the lack of a "price" for externalities - I recognised then, as I do now the real social cost of these. So I am so happy to be a part of this community, and I want to help spread the word. I was hoping someone had taken the content and made it available on a creative commons type platform to share it, and for more ideas and communities to be created from it. And here it is! So very please!  

Brisbane, Australia

Founder of The Shady Lanes Project and member of Regen Brisbane When I started my verge garden, my reason was simple. I was fed up with mowing it. Back then, I had no idea where it would lead me. Now I think verge gardens could be the key to saving us from the worst of climate change and biodiversity loss. Big claim for unimportant little bits of land, you might say. Come on the journey and see if you change your mind. The Shady Lanes Project is about a lot more than us all planting out our little patches. It’s about bringing diverse people together to learn how to collaborate by doing. It’s about changing the way we see nature. It’s about eco-systems thinking. Most of all, it’s about learning by doing the doable - and making what’s doable grow. [ShadyLanes_verge_eastward.jpg] [ ] Find out more: Website - Substack and newsletter

Melbourne

I am a passionate advocate for the environment, driven by a profound love for ecology, nature, biodiversity, and animals. I consider myself fortunate to be part of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, where I can contribute my skills and knowledge to a community that is committed to transforming how we live and work on this planet. In my efforts to marry my passion for the environment with my hands-on experience, I have volunteered with several forward-thinking organizations. One of my notable contributions has been to the Georgia Mountain Falconry Manual, where I worked to integrate ecological principles into practice. I've also been fortunate to work with the Ecological Society of Australia, helping to champion research and management that enhance ecological outcomes in a time of dramatic global environmental change. My commitment to addressing climate change led me to volunteer briefly with the Citizens Climate Lobby. This experience allowed me to understand the power of individuals and collective advocacy in pushing for essential policy changes. As I continue my studies in Artificial Intelligence at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, I am constantly exploring how this cutting-edge field can intersect with sustainability and ecological goals. I believe that technological advancement can go hand in hand with environmental stewardship, and I am excited by the potential that AI holds in driving sustainable solutions. My interest extends to concepts like sustainability and degrowth, which challenge traditional economic paradigms and offer the promise of a balanced, equitable, and sustainable society. I am excited by the transformative potential of these ideas and their ability to help us imagine and create a world that values and protects ecological systems while ensuring human prosperity. As an active member of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, I am eager to contribute to rethinking our global economic model. My hope is to leverage my unique combination of skills and interests to promote an economy that respects planetary boundaries, nurtures all forms of life, and allows future generations to thrive.

Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom

Founder of Make It Good which is dedicated to accelerating regenerative futures. Most recently part of the Oxfordshire Doughnut Project Team. Funded by Oxfordshire County Council and hosted by Aspire, the project seeks to accelerate understanding of Doughnut Economics in application across three core work streams - developing a preliminary data portrait as a springboard for engagement, understanding how to move from impact assessment to doughnut-informed Decision Making Wheel, and to consider how to begin to apply these tools to strategic economic planning in Oxfordshire.
