San Diego, California, United States

After serving a career in the U.S. Marine Corps, traveling the world, I've seen the best of humanity and the worst of humanity. I've seen ecological diversity thriving and I've seen its destruction.  I cannot sit by and watch this beautiful Earth and its ecosystems perish at the hands of human beings unable or unwilling to change.  I'm on a mission to educate, inspire and activate more individuals, families, businesses and community groups to take action towards living in a more sustainable manner.  Cause San Diego is focused on doing so by accelerating positive social impact in our region across sectors and acting as a beacon of hope for other cities and regions globally.  We are developing the San Diego County Doughnut portrait alongside academic, government, nonprofits and corporations b/c we need to better understand the biggest areas of need and allocate time, resource and action towards them.

Brighton, Brighton and Hove, England, United Kingdom

I’m a sole practitioner interior designer running Materialise Interiors, Brighton-based B Corp certified interior design company since 2005.     My book ‘Sustainable Interior Design’, commissioned by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Publishing has just been published. The book explores eleven approaches to a sustainable interior design, with the goal of inspiring the interior design industry to work in a better and more conscious way.   I’ve studied Regenerative Design and am now Living Future Accredited  (Living Building Challenge) and am able to support regenerative projects and products that improve and enhance. I’m a keen follower of human-centric, healthy design principles - I’m a Parson New School Healthy Materials Advocate and FitWel® Ambassador and have completed the ONE PLANET LIVING Action Plan and Associate training. Prior to setting up my own company, I spent 10 years as part of The Body Shop team learning about ethical business and sustainable design, delivering store concepts and specifications globally within their retail design team.  My ongoing commitment to environmental awareness, sustainability using circular economy principles and vegan specifications learnt at The Body Shop has translated into my own business, to the extent that my business gained B Corp Certification in April 23. In 2017 I was the first interior designer in the UK to be VEGANDESIGN.ORG CERTIFIED™.  Named as PETA’s Compassionate Designer in their Vegan Homeware Awards.  I’m a co-founder of Interior Design Declares - the interior design industry's commitment in response to climate breakdown and biodiversity collapse. I’ve served a full term on the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) Sustainability Committee - where we have delivered a Sustainability Strategy for the professional body, and the Sustainable Specification Guide which I co-wrote which is freely accessible to all.  I’m part of Circular Brighton & Hove, and am also a fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. I’ve been in the design industry for over 30 years after graduating in Furniture and Product Design in 1993 from Nottingham Trent University, going on to win the New Designer’s consumer product design award.

South Africa

I am a transformational futurist and the CEO of the Southern African Institute for Strategic Futures and Foresight.  I currently focus on the economic future of African  and BRICS-aligned countries. My focus lies in the fact that Africa, BRICS and the broader Global South will experience substantial growth in the near-to-mid- term future.  My concern lies in the fact that the globe (as far as resources and the environment is concerned)  will be put under even more severe stress, given the added strain that the resource requirement of this new growth will place on the commons.           

Aix-en-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône, France

My personal raison d'être is to contribute to preserving living beings. Having this in mind, I co-created the collective Udétopia, founded Caminurs and joined Hub Conseil. I live and act in Provence, a beautiful and living place on Earth. As a consultant, I try to make companies, schools, public entities and people change their believes and expectations from economy. Using the Doughnut, we discuss and imagine new perspectives to contribute to planetary boundaries (being regenerative) and people prosperity (being distributive). We then focus on how these perspectives will be sustainable and reachable and transform organizations in order to reach their "Donut aligned objectives".
