High-level thinking made digestible and do-able — as ever, this episode of Funny Old World provides a better understanding of the basics, and how to help tackle the climate emergency.
Zita Cobb, social entrepreneur, founder of the Fogo Island Inn in Canada, is modelling how local communities can thrive in the global economy. Check out her Economic Nutrition Certification Mark which sets the benchmark for financial transparency. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality,” said architect and futurist Buckminster Fuller almost a century ago. “To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” This visionary hotelier and community economist doesn’t just preach this sentiment, she is modelling a new community-supporting place-making way of running a business.
