True eco-conscious design isn't just substituting bamboo for plastic. It's about adopting nature’s R&D, 3.8 billion years of it, to build regenerative systems.
This guide explores moving from "sustainable" (doing less harm) to "regenerative" (healing systems). We analyze biomimicry, closed-loop economies (like the forest floor), and how natural patterns (fractals, spirals) drive efficiency.

Technology and communication have progressed to the point that we are capable of creating an infrastructure of food, energy, and structure self-sufficiency, AND a global network for sharing and evolving it. With this foundation, we can relearn, redefine, and refocus what living is about...

Project 2025 as a last gasp of a dying system of “power-over,” one that fears the regenerative, relational force of the people, the Earth, and the sacred.

@makeinplace I've been exploring similar ideas around rethinking the product lifecycle in a post growth economy. By prioritizing sustainability and circularity, we can create systems that meet real needs without perpetuating waste. Check out my latest blog post for more thoughts on this:
Excited to see the work being done at @makeinplace and looking forward to contributing to the open knowledge bank!
How do we anticipate vital needs through livable #systems?
Which methods feed each other without #waste?
What does #innovation look like when not limited by profitability?

Living Future Accreditation is more than a credential—it’s a commitment to transforming the built environment. By integrating regenerative design principles, we address climate change, promote human health, and advance equity. #SustainableArchitecture #RegenerativeDesign
The Compressed Earth Block Village (Pod 4) showcases artistic and functional eco-construction using durable, affordable earth blocks. Designed as an education and wellness retreat, it features a 2-story half-moon layout with treatment rooms, classrooms, dining for 200+, laundry for 300+, and diverse recreation spaces.

I've made a wee film about Regenerative Triangulation. "What's that?" Well, the film will hopefully tell you...
Ich denke der wirkungsvollste Hebel beim #RegenerativeDesign in der Bahnbranche ist die vollständige Elektrifizierung der Bahnnetze in Europa. Elektrische Züge produzieren keine lokalen Emissionen und sind energieeffizienter als Dieselzüge. #Klimaziele #NettoNull ✅
‘Sustainability is no longer enough.’
“Aiming for 🌱 #Sustainability, however, is no longer enough. We need to seek a solution that heals as well as maintains … #RegenerativeDesign takes a significant step further.”

Below is a statement I prepared and read at the December 19, 2024, Board of Selectmen meeting in the Town of Easton, Connecticut. A video of the statement, and the entire meeting, will be available shortly.
“Deny Defend Depose”
I am here for all of us, even though I only have my own story.
For 22 years, I’ve been a Type One diabetic. For 22 years I’ve fought insurance companies to get the medication that I need to be here tonight alive. I am one of the lucky ones living here in EASTON with neighbors like you. But recently, I spent time in front of the pharmacy counter, explaining that if I didn’t take home insulin, I would die. Corporate interests prioritized their rebate scheme over my life
This statement was conceived on my way home today in a rush to get to insulin that would not clog my insulin pump. A new flank in a 22-year battle against for-profit healthcare.
I didn’t quite make it to Manor Lane before I had to pull over on Sport Hill Parkway to vomit from high blood sugar. Sorry to disturb you, neighbors, but the privilege of living in towns like Easton also comes with responsibilities to those that, frankly, never stood a chance of making it here.
Deny defend depose.
When marketing and advertising firms make up terms like “natural gas“ to mask the scary reality of methane so big oil can put in pipelines by our beloved Mill River and schools.
Deny defend depose.
When Donald Trump makes up lies about immigrants....
