Migrated account #introduction 😀

I have been on the fediverse for about a year now, enjoying the less algorithmic and more personal, deliberate interactions!

This is my me-in-work account where I think about ... #systemschange and #systemsthinking, #socialinnovation, #publicservices, #socialjustice, #facilitation, #inclusion, #coproduction and #involvement, #complexity, #relationshipcentred approaches, and #kindness as a principle of public services.

I'm in Wales and also French. 👋

Finishing my Friday with this excellent read: “Fractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability”

I deeply appreciate when someone has done the thinking and writing that pulls together a bunch of threads I’m interested in. I’m very excited now to use this as a starting point for engaged #research projects. The big picture framing I’ve been using is “societal transitions for planetary wellbeing”… and I love how this fractal metaphor is helping me connect small, feasible initiatives and actions with much larger purposes and objectives.

SpringerLinkFractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability - AmbioResponses to sustainability challenges are not delivering results at the scale and speed called for by science, international agreements, and concerned citizens. Yet there is a tendency to underestimate the large-scale impacts of small-scale, local, and contextualized actions, and particularly the role of individuals in scaling transformations. Here, we explore a fractal approach to scaling sustainability transformations based on “universal values.” Universal values are proposed as intrinsic characteristics that connect humans and nature in a coherent, acausal way. Drawing on the Three Spheres of Transformation framework, we consider how enacting universal values can generate fractal-like patterns of sustainability that repeat recursively across scales. Fractal approaches shift the focus from scaling through “things” (e.g., technologies, behaviors, projects) to scaling through a quality of agency based on values that apply to all. We discuss practical steps involved in fractal approaches to scaling transformations to sustainability, provide examples, and conclude with questions for future research.

A #CradleCatholic. A #LapsedCatholic? As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. I explored Protestant fellowships but soon began seeking "the deeper things" back in the lives of saints. This led to a deep dive into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. That church became tedious as well. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world here I am. I recently stumbled across a podcast called the #PopeFrancisGeneration. I'm intrigued. I am listening. Let's see where my current studies lead.

This is about an average American family’s journey to decarbonization.

If they can do it
-Companies can do it
The Ultra rich and Celebs can do it

Each of us can try.
It’s not about guilt blame or punishment.
We live in a toxic system.
Let’s pull together and do what we can to change.

@PIK_climate Indeed. People in the position of really knowing & crafting the calls to action are failing in their motivational quest thru pure linguistics alone.

Not #ClimateCrisis > #PlanetaryCrisis.
Even #LifeasUsualCrisis.
Not #HumanRights > #HumanExtinction.

Imperative to translate #science into mainstream values + vice versa…w/ goal of xforming mainstream values. #UTOK #SystemsChange #SystemicChange #sciencecomms

The second effort is in an earlier stage and i will say less about it for now, but i am co-developing the People's Utility Commons, a limited-duration training project for frontline organizers on utility law and #systemsChange.

We are witnessing an ongoing fascist capture of the state by private utility companies and there is tons to do.

This year's win was that i raised real seed money to get us going. i can't wait for this year ahead. find out more: peoplesutility.org

I wrote about this a lot this year: How, yes Russia's invasion of #Ukraine has inevitably worsened global hunger due to over-reliance on grain imports for calories in the majority of developing nations.

But the failure to get food where it needs to be, globally, is merely a symptom of a far more worrying looming crisis - how climate change and protectionism will see the food system as we know it collapse, possibly within 5-10 years #climate #food #famine #systemschange nytimes.com/2023/01/02/us/poli

The really specific #introduction beyond what I spend most of my time on now!

I have done a lot and still think a lot about #housing #buildings #environmentalJustice and #electrification (or #decarbonization). In #California I spent several years as an #energyEfficiency #policy wonk. I help run a participatory #grantmaking fund called the EBE Fund.

I am an #engineer, #environmental and #petroleum in a past life. I want #systemsChange #justice and a #GreenNewDeal. I live in #SanFrancisco!

@DocSamantha Hi Samantha, I'm a prof of #HealthPromotion at Dalhousie U in beautiful #NovaScotia, #Canada. Originally from the UK, I study how we can create #SupportiveEnvironments for #ChronicDisease prevention. Also have a focus on #YouthEngagement to support #systemschange around #healthpromotion in schools. Personally, I try to practice what I preach, recently went #CarFree & advocate for safe #cycling & #walking
