I head up the Corporate Responsibility team at a global law firm, and am eager to connect with this community for 2 reasons: I'm interested in building a sustainability strategy for my firm that's rooted in the Doughnut Economics model, and I'm eager to build a community of sustainability-minded people in my local area.

I am an author who previously worked in the oil and gas industry and am now a sustainability activist.  My first two books focus on the oil, gas and process industries where I outline what is required to enhance the performance of the managed assets. The second book dives into the management of turnarounds which is crucial for the long term success of the company. My third book explores the long term survival of businesses where they have to refocus on renewables to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. My overall focus is on the long term sustainability of businesses. The realignment of fossil fuel companies to become sustainable, using new technologies and ideas, is of particular interest to me. The phasing out of fossil fuels needs careful consideration to minimize the social and environmental impacts while ensuring an economically viable transition to net zero emissions.

My enchantment and fascination with the natural world began early with a love of animals, who I saw as ambassadors for other worlds. When I was 17, an extended hiking trip in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming sealed the deal. I teach lecture-based and experiential learning courses on sustainability, environmental ethics, ecological integrity, resilience theory, environmental psychology, and transformational learning at various Universities in the Twin Cities. I live in Mahtomedi with my three delightful children and two overly enthusiastic dogs. I consider my house one big art project, and I love to cook and entertain. Curious minds are always welcome at my table. Come say hello!

I am an urban development specialist from South Africa. I am passionate about working with like-minded people to contribute to the creation of cities that provide equal opportunities for all, while developing sustainably, within the planetary boundaries. What really excites me about doughnut economics is the aim to tackle inequality while also dealing with climate change. It is difficult (potentially overwhelming) trying to deal with both pressing issues, and more often than not, they’re disconnected in implementation. I am excited about exploring the doughnut principles in more detail in the developing world/South African city context, where basic needs have not yet been met and poverty, inequality and unemployment are rife.
