Cradle to Cradle Design
This is a place where individuals and groups can be in communication around imagining and designing what a good future would be like, rather than one trying to be a little less bad.

Profile Information
- Date of Birth
- November 11, 1981
- About Me:
- My Work bridges ReGeneration (Beyond Sustainability), Facilitation and Intergenerational Collaboration.
Born and raised in Auckland and currently living out at Bethells which is a real treat.
I am trained in engineering and commerce and worked as an engineer before getting together with some friends in partnership with Anew NZ to host 100 young people/professionals at the Digital Earth Summit on Sustainability in 06.
Since then my work has evolved into working with more with people, designing processes that allow people to participate, bring their gifts to the table and work on possibilities that are exciting.
I think we have systemic structures that encourage us to have the answer but I think the fun and real breakthroughs are in when we partner together.
Some particularly useful questions I think are about what might a new constitution for New Zealand might look like?
- Areas of interest and capabilities:
- I'm interested in projects and partnerships that fulfil on or step towards the kind of future I'd like to live in- a good one, not one a little less bad (see: McDonough & Braungart: Cradle to Cradle)
I'm interested in good citizen things: how and where we live|work, the intention we take to the making of things, questioning the assumption that more is better, how we get to where we want to go, connection to place, how and where we grow our food.
I am also interested in questions about identity, and what honouring te Tiriti o Waitangi looks like now and leading up to the bicentenary in 2040.
If I am only for others, who will be for me?
If I am only for myself, what am I?
If not now, when?
Part of my work as a global citizen is to lead work with the Pachamama Alliance in New Zealand. See the trailer of "The Symposium" at http://www.vimeo.com/1797725

Apple Planet
I have noticed something strange happening to my laptop in the last two months.
Normally when I start my Apple Macbook, it makes the 'apple sound' and shows a picture of an apple in the middle of the screen, as it warms up.
On two occasions instead of an apple, it has had a picture of our planet, flashing for about 30 seconds.
The first time it happened a month or so ago, I had to do a double-take to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I looked around and there… Continue

Ken Alston said… Yes, the product certification program we started is now in the hands of a non-profit: The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. We've even trained a new assessor to add to the pool of consultants who can help companies do this important work. It's unusual to train your competition but it's part of spreading this idea further.

Tim Jones said… Thanks for your comment, Carl.
First of all, have you been in touch with the organisation REFIT-NZ? They had been very quiet for much of 2010, but there is a March 2011 update on their blog:
http://refit.org.nz/UpdateMar2011.shtml
Second, material from the seminar is contained in EnergyWatch 58, which you can download here:
http://www.energywatch.org.nz/recent.html#58
That's all the material I know about, so I hope this helps.
Regards
Tim

Elizabeth Connor said… Hi Carl, the Pecha Kucha went really well thanks! The whole evening had a really lovely vibe and for a bunch of scientists they did really well at presenting. It felt like quite a turning point for me. I did a presentation on my journey in science and spirituality and it was the first time I've combined those two aspects of my life in a public way. People responded so positively and several came up to me afterwards saying how they have had similar experiences. It was very encouraging and confirming for the work I am doing trying to bring those different sides of life together. The talks were recorded and should be up on the Pecha Kucha website soon if you're interested in having a squiz.
