Hi! I heard about this on The Way Out Is In podcast and was fascinated. I'm a marketer and very interested in the ethics of marketing - to me it's not about making deals or getting one sale, but building a long term sustainable business for me and my clients.  I'm excited to learn how Doughnut Economics fits in with this. When not working, I'm often out in the woods or watching birds and other wildlife from my home. I love to hike, photography, and creating other art. I'm sloooowly practicing making linocuts.

I am a post doctoral research associate based within the School of Law with over 15 years’ experience working in environmental consenting and planning. I have detailed working knowledge of environmental regulation across UK nations and across both terrestrial and marine spaces. My research explores spatial justice, environmental law and public participation in environmental decision making. My research experience has provided her with an in-depth understanding of the importance of lawscapes for contextualising spatial decisions. My research focuses on coastal and marine regulation. I am increasingly moving into the post-growth space, specifically looking at spatial regulation and how to incentivise resilient development in non-monetary ways.

Français ci-dessous The future belongs to communities rooted in their territory. Closer ties between people forming communities of destiny and taking into account all forms of life on the land they use are the keys to well-being, peace and the future of our world.  That's why I'm involved in my region as an independent ecobionomist and adult educator, as well as a responsible citizen. L'avenir appartient aux communautés ancrées à leur territoire. Le resserrement des liens entre les personnes formant des communautés de destin et la prise en compte de toutes les formes de vies sur la terre qu'elles occupent sont les clefs du bien-être, de la paix et du futur de notre monde.  C'est pourquoi je m'engage dans ma région comme écobionomiste et formateur d'adultes indépendant ainsi que citoyen responsable.

With a lifelong interest in protecting the natural environment from the ravages of human activity, I have followed, with great interest, many issues and trends in science and technology, as well as human endeavor, that offer glimpses of a sustainable future for our species and our planet. I've worked in energy #conservation, building efficiency science, and renewable energy. My recent focus has been on the use of biocomposite materials in housing, specifically hemp-lime construction, which promises a more sustainable way forward through the present housing crisis, addressing issues related to , #carbon capture, materials toxicity, moisture vapor management, and acoustical mitigation.

I dedicated my final semester of Global Project and Change Management to supporting MasterPeace’s FoodPrint Project in developing an educational food ecolabel inspired by Doughnut Economics. This label is not intended for the commercial market but rather as a tool for engaging European youth in learning about food sustainability through a systems-thinking lense. It highlights what makes a food product (un)sustainable from ecological, human wellbeing and animal welfare perspectives. To inform this project, my bachelor thesis focuses on identifying which sustainability criteria a food label should ideally cover to promote a food system that operates within planetary boundaries and upholds a just social foundation.

Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, United States

I am a former CEO of a private company manufacturing capital goods for the steel industry.  While I have lived and benefitted from the growth mindset, since retiring I have been searching for a movement that can start to change the way our society works. My focus had been on politics but every where I looked at political movements I saw such firmly entrenched opposition to change that I could not see a way to start change that could be successful.  After reading "Donought Economics" my eyes were opened to the possibility of focusing on economic change with the many small ways that grass roots efforts could make change develop from the bottom up. I still believe that political change is necessary but with an economic movement developing momentum political change may become inevitable.
