Brilliant question Robert! The main solution I've been developing for the last 4 years is an open source business model based on stewardship rather than ownership and extraction, which I believe is fundamental to cocreating a regenerative, truly sustainable planet. In the first instance, I'm doing this within the realm of active mobility. Having started in the corporate sector and volunteered and worked for a number of charities, as well as running my own businesses in diverse fields, it's clear that the pubic/private/3rd sector organisations all leave something to be desired. This, along with the prevailing current debt-based economic system in the version of capitalism most of us dwell within, has and continues to fail humanity and sentient life, with externalised costs, the demand for perpetual growth within a finite system and missing the value of so many things that are essentially priceless. Rebuilding local, national and global economies and business models based around stewardship and empowering sovereign beings to live their full potential I believe are the most pressing needs of our time.
