Profitable Sustainability: Turning Expenses into Revenue! I crafted a strategy for this business using principles of sustainability and circular economics to turn a hefty materials expense into a new service for the business that instead created profitable revenue that paid THEM for their materials. This also worked to challenge a monopoly in the industry and allowed landscapers to offload their materials for half the price. Huge win for both land stewards and the environment. Who says that healthy margins have to go against ecology and stewardship? Lanette's dedication to sustainability, craft, and science feels like an active love letter to planet earth. Not only did my work with them help to inspire my journey with Thrivewell, but the puzzles I worked to solve with them deepened my understanding of how to create productive and enriching circular economies. After that, I was nothing short of obsessed with sustainable business practices. If you're a South Florida gardener and are looking for the best soil amendment possible, find Fertile Earth Worm Farm.

My latest article ‘Substack: A Groundswell for Sustainability’ with WILD Magazine has gone live📝 Here is a little snippet: “Substack’s focus on journalistic freedom has steadily nurtured an emerging collective of sustainability writers on the app. But why has it, I hear you cry? Offering an alternative form of publishing free from the constraints typically imposed by conventional media outlets; this freedom enables writers to cultivate more honest discussions surrounding sustainability matters. Independence from political, corporate and commercial channels means that writers on Substack can address the subject of sustainability without having to conform to certain rules and regulations that might minimise the environmental issues at hand.”

This situation highlights a critical issue: the need for transparent decision-making processes that involve community input, particularly when it concerns environmental stewardship. The importance of retaining mature trees is not only for aesthetic value but also for maintaining local biodiversity and air quality. As industry professionals, how can we ensure that management decisions align with both resident concerns and environmental sustainability? What strategies can we adopt to facilitate better communication and understanding in similar situations?
