F-71190 ETANG SUR ARROUX

I am a versatile thinker who likes to make unusual connections. I have put forward the #EarthShareModel as a tool to bring Earth on board as a business owner and complement current success metrics with a systemic ROI. As president of Fou de Fougerette, association loi 1901, I have co-founded the #TransitionCastle iniative which works towards a rapid ecological and economic transition. We have launched our own permaculture garden, the "Circular Walk" which is an inspiring outing for all ages during which visitors can learn more about the circular economy & its benefits, and are also working on a reforestation project. As an ecopreneur, I run the climate farming e-leaning Humuswirtschaft.ch together with Swiss farmer & humus pioneer Franz Keiser and am also developing climate-positive products. Having worked in Switzerland, the UK, Germany, France and China, I fluently speak several languages and thrive in a diverse environment. I am based both in Etang-sur-Arroux (F) and Zurich (CH). I look forward to connecting & collaborating! Monika MLaw/MA in Public Relations

Passionate about climate action, I'm resolved to contribute to our society's system's change. Presently working with data for industrial decarbonisation, I am compelled by Doughnut Economics and seek to connect with a network of professionals integrating these principles to effect change "from within".

I believe it is possible for humans to steer the world to meet the guidelines of Doughnut principles. I believe this is something we can all be active in achieving. This is a far more sensible and practical framework compared with many other political and economic approaches that have till now held centre stage. I have worked in local government as a librarian, have taught English as a foreign language and have experience of management. I am interested in  international links and speak German and Spanish as well as my native English. I have been involved in organising cultural events with international partners in the UK, Spain and Germany. I currently volunteer at a local community centre where we collect surplus food from local supermarkets to provide a weekly community meal. I enjoy playing music, gardening on my allotment, meeting people, cycling, reading and cooking

Laholm, Halland, Sweden

Hello,  We run a small organic nut tree nursery in Laholm, Sweden.  We sell nut trees to farmers and to forest-garden projects in Southern Scandinavia.  Find us at www.nötträd.se (or www.nottrad.se).  I am inspired by the work by David Holmgren on how to live well within planetary boundaries. Doughnut economics is the direction, "RetroSuburbia" is one way of doing it. Peace,             Göran

Seattle

I quit my elementary school teaching job to be a full time climate activist.  I am involved with 350 Seattle and Extinction Rebellion Seattle among other groups.  People are behaving like zombies-- going through the 'business as usual' routines while the world burns and life dies.   I see many people still trying to work patiently with the system.  I think we should create our own plan instead of all working separately but I don't understand how to do it.
