Donuts Everywhere!: Global to Local Donuts Economics Brainstorm [Seattle] (Past)
Conversations about how donut economics applies locally in Seattle
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Kate Raworth is giving a talk through UW and Town Hall Seattle this coming Monday, April 15th at 12pm. Details and registration are available here. A few of us thought that event could be a good way to start more conversations about how donut economics applies locally, so we're planning a follow-up meeting on Wednesday, April 24th 5:30-7:30pm at the Capitol Hill Library in their meeting room. We'll all share questions and ideas we have for implementing donut economics in a local context and break into groups to discuss topics that interest each us. If you have ideas you're wanting to discuss or partner with others on, this will be a great opportunity to make those connections.

I'm a product management professional based in Seattle, WA, currently seeking to transition my career into the climate tech space. In late summer/early fall 2023, I participated in the Terra.do "Climate Change: Learning for Action" program, which was my first introduction to Doughnut Economics. At that time I was reflecting that "ever-increasing growth" as a primary success metric for companies seems not only unrealistic but tends to drive perverse incentives to generate more profit at the expense of employee morale and wellness. I wondered why companies have to perpetually grow -why can't a business be considered "successful" because it achieves and maintains a stable and sustainable level of profitability? I understand the unfortunate answer that our current economic system gives, but reading Doughnut Economics gave me hope that we can move towards a better system. I'm still very much learning about the various sectors within the climate space, but some key areas of interest for me are , , and .

Originally from New Hampshire, I defected to the West after college for work. I've spent the majority of my career in technology and the last five years in climate tech helping to rapidly advance home electrification. While I believe technological innovation is a significant driver of demonstrating viability for climate solutions, I am keen to learn frameworks and action plans that can generate broader and more immediate impact across larger populations. Doughnut Economics was the first time I experienced a concise representation of a new economic model that resonated deeply with my values. #c
