“The term sustainability conjures up a variety of images: climate change, carbon footprints, guilt, worry, and budget constraints. But at its core, sustainability is about creating better lives for all of us, all of the time. We need to re-imagine our world at every scale and create the possibility for our actions to be fulfilling and ecologically regenerative–not just incrementally less bad. We’ll explore how working together and understanding the big picture can lead to a happy life and a thriving planet,” Ariana Bain.
Specializing in industrial and urban ecology, she thrives on finding tangible and quantifiable ways to synthesize and communicate seemingly disparate ideas like “industry” and “ecology.” Her projects have tracked scrap dealers through India, followed coffee beans in the Nicaraguan campo, started the first university-level sustainability education program in Bangladesh, and created strategic plans for corporations in the US. Over the past seven years, she has worked as a consultant, an academic, and a farmer. Ariana is a Senior Associate at Except Integrated Sustainability, an international consulting firm.
