Becoming a Sustainable Capitalist
Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I abhor plastic waste. But I still consume it. Loads of it, frankly. Along with everyone else around me–except perhaps a few nameless sustainable monks that apparently exist and have figured a way out. As appealing as a life without plastic may be, I don’t have time Continue reading
About Me
One day when I was writing something, I met a guy named Jack Wonders who literally blew my mind. Not only was he intelligent, thoughtful, and insightful, he was witty, creative, and able to distill complex ideas into simple digestible text unlike anyone I had ever read. Needless to say, we hit it off right away. And in some ways I feel like I’ve known him my entire life.
I am very excited to announce that after much time and deliberation, Jack has agreed to join the Green Shadow Group and contribute exclusive content to my Inertia blog. While Jack’s full background is bit of a mystery, it’s safe to assume that he is well versed in everything that I’m well versed in. In fact, if you told me that he was at UF while I got a BA in political science and a JD/MBA in grad school, I’d believe it. He knows so much about the green building program that I helped develop for the City of Gainesville, Florida, which became an exhibit to the State of Florida’s Model Green Building Program, that I often wonder if he actually worked on it with me. He knows my kids. He knows my passion for sustainability. He knows everything about me and the things that I want to say, so very excited to have him on the team.
The primary purpose of the blog is to uncover ways that we can collectively address the problems that plague our efforts to protect our planet and strengthen civil society. The solution we propose is to achieve sustainability. But not by focusing on environmental sustainability, as we believe that is pushing a rope. Instead we propose–and opine–that the only way to achieve environmental sustainability is to achieve financial sustainability first.
How and why will be revealed in the blog. Your constructive and always polite comments are welcome and encouraged. Thank you for your time and participation as we work together Building Momentum One Idea at a Time.
