Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected during these new and trying times.
As for myself, I have hardly left our property in over two weeks - it?s a new reality.
I have been waiting for something to share with you and it arrived today from Janet Eaton.
Our major problems, whether social or environmental, are a direct cause of our market driven economic system where society and the environment are subservient to our economic system. Donut economics sees society and our economy as having to be played out within the environment.
Please read the article below.

Cheers and stay safe

EXCERPTS:
...The outer ring of the doughnut ... represents the ecological ceiling drawn up by earth-system scientists. It highlights the boundaries across which human kind should not go to avoid damaging the climate, soils, oceans, the ozone layer, freshwater and abundant biodiversity.
Between the two rings is the good stuff: the dough, where everyone?s needs and that of the planet are being met.
On Wednesday, the model will be formally embraced by the municipality of Amsterdam as the starting point for public policy decisions, the first city in the world to make such a commitment...
?I think it can help us overcome the effects of the crisis?, said Amsterdam?s deputy mayor, Marieke van Doorninck, who joined Raworth in an interview with the Guardian via Skype before the launch. ?It might look strange that we are talking about the period after that but as a government we have to ? It is to help us to not fall back on easy mechanisms.?...
Raworth scaled down the model to provide Amsterdam with a ?city portrait? showing where basic needs are not being met and ?planetary boundaries? overshot. It displays how the issues are interlinked...
?The world is experiencing a series of shocks and surprise impacts which are enabling us to shift away from the idea of growth to ?thriving?, Raworth says. ?Thriving means our wellbeing lies in balance. We know it so well in the level of our body. This is the moment we are going to connect bodily health to planetary health.?

This article also explains several ways in which the municipal government is looking at implementing a new approach based on the model.

For the image of the model see the online article.

p.s.

My first thought and hope was that this could spread to other European cities for a start  and then  upwatrds to state and national and supranational levels.
Hopefully Canadian cities and towns might also be prepared to adopt Raworth's framework  to work from  and hence provide a new economic model to counter the incessant drumbeat for returning to  material growth which has been  coming from Provinces and the Feds and the powers that be around the world.  As Neoliberalism's values and policies prove useless in addressing the on-going interconnected  crises we face , especially climate change and COVID 19, it's time for a dominant paradigm shift in economic thinking and planning.

Amsterdam to embrace 'doughnut' model to mend post-coronavirus economy

A doughnut cooked up in Oxford will guide Amsterdam out of the economic mess left by the coronavirus pandemic.

Amsterdam to embrace 'doughnut' model to mend post-coronavirus economy
Raworth?s 2017 bestselling book, Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, has graced the bedside table of people ranging from the former Brexit secretary David Davis to the Guardian columnist George Monbiot, who described it as a ?breakthrough alternative to growth economics?.

The inner ring of her donut sets out the minimum we need to lead a good life, derived from the UN?s sustainable development goals and agreed by world leaders of every political stripe. It ranges from food and clean water to a certain level of housing, sanitation, energy, education, healthcare, gender equality, income and political voice. Anyone not attaining such minimum standards is living in the doughnut?s hole.

The outer ring of the doughnut, where the sprinkles go, represents the ecological ceiling drawn up by earth-system scientists. It highlights the boundaries across which human kind should not go to avoid damaging the climate, soils, oceans, the ozone layer, freshwater and abundant biodiversity.

Between the two rings is the good stuff: the dough, where everyone?s needs and that of the planet are being met.

On Wednesday, the model will be formally embraced by the municipality of Amsterdam as the starting point for public policy decisions, the first city in the world to make such a commitment.

?I think it can help us overcome the effects of the crisis?, said Amsterdam?s deputy mayor, Marieke van Doorninck, who joined Raworth in an interview with the Guardian via Skype before the launch. ?It might look strange that we are talking about the period after that but as a government we have to ? It is to help us to not fall back on easy mechanisms.?

?When suddenly we have to care about climate, health, and jobs and housing and care and communities, is there a framework around that can help us with all of that?? Raworth says. ?Yes there is, and it is ready to go.?

The central premise is simple: the goal of economic activity should be about meeting the core needs of all but within the means of the planet. The ?doughnut? is a device to show what this means in practice.

Raworth scaled down the model to provide Amsterdam with a ?city portrait? showing where basic needs are not being met and ?planetary boundaries? overshot. It displays how the issues are interlinked.

?It is not just a hippy way at looking at the world,? says Van Doorninck, citing the housing crisis as an example.

Residents? housing needs are increasingly not being satisfied, with almost 20% of city tenants unable to cover their basic needs after paying their rent, and just 12% of approximately 60,000 online applicants for social housing being successful.

One solution might be to build more homes but Amsterdam?s doughnut highlights that the area?s carbon dioxide emissions are 31% above 1990 levels. Imports of building materials, food and consumer products from outside the city boundaries contribute 62% of those total emissions.

Van Doorninck says the city plans to regulate to ensure builders use materials that are as often possible recycled and bio based, such as wood. But the doughnut approach also encourages policymakers to lift their eyes to the horizon.

?The fact that houses are too expensive is not only to do with too few being built. There is a lot of capital flowing around the world trying to find an investment, and right now real estate is seen as the best way to invest, so that drives up prices,? she says.

?The doughnut does not bring us the answers but a way of looking at it, so that we don?t keep on going on in the same structures as we used to.?
The Amsterdam city portrait was created by Doughnut Economics Action Lab, in collaboration with Biomimicry 3.8, Circle Economy, and C40.

The port of Amsterdam is the world?s single largest importer of cocoa beans, mostly from west Africa, where the labour is often highly exploitative.

As an independent private company it could reject such products and take the economic hit, but at the same time almost one in five households in Amsterdam qualify for social benefits due to low incomes and savings.

Van Doorninck says the port is looking at how it moves on from dependence on fossil fuels as part of the city?s new vision, and she expects that to naturally evolve into a wider debate over other pressing dilemmas brought to the forefront by the doughnut model.

?It gives space to talk about whether you want to be the place where products are being stored that are produced by child labour or by other forms of labour exploitation,? she says.

Raworth adds: ?Who would expect in a portrait of the city of Amsterdam that you would include labour rights in west Africa? And that is the value of the tool.?

Both recognise the need for national government and supranational authorities to get on board. Raworth?s last meeting just before the lockdown in Belgium was with the European commission in Brussels, where she says great interest was expressed.

?The world is experiencing a series of shocks and surprise impacts which are enabling us to shift away from the idea of growth to ?thriving?, Raworth says. ?Thriving means our wellbeing lies in balance. We know it so well in the level of our body. This is the moment we are going to connect bodily health to planetary health.?

? This article was amended on 8 April 2020 to remove a superfluous zero from the figure of online applications for social housing, which is 60,000.

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well, at least as well as can be expected during this time.
The BNS Board met over Zoom (virtual meeting) last Wednesday and we decided that we will try to have a virtual members meeting on Monday, April 27, at 7:30pm.
We are getting a subscription to Zoom which is a platform where members can sign in and sit and watch a presentation. You will be able to as questions, see slides, and generally participate from your living room. We are working out the details and will keep you posted.
So, the meeting this coming Monday is cancelled but we will try to have something up for the following Monday.

Cheers,

Broom Crowberry is a small evergreen shrub in the heather family that grows
in sandy disturbed areas. In Nova Scotia, it is found in sand barrens of
Annapolis/Kings Counties, and along coastal heathlands on the Atlantic
Coast. Watch for small pink flowers in late April. It's small fruits are
dispersed by ants, so if you see a plant growing by itself, thank an ant!

*Staying Nature & Community Connected in the Covid era*

We hope you are staying well and adapting reasonably well to our current
reality.  Nature and community connection are more important than ever and
we are working on a few things to help folks with both. If you are
fortunate to have a garden and close-by green spaces we encourage you to
get out as much as possible.  As spring emerges there is lots to see
outside and ample opportunities on-line for learning about nature in your
backyard and local area.  We are promoting the Maritime Backyard Bioblitz
on the weekend and co-hosting an 'Ask the Expert' session next Tuesday to
help you learn more about what you observed and to connect to other nature
lovers (see details below).

One question we've been grappling with is "how do we get nature to people
if people can't get to nature?". One solution we are working on is a series
of Nature Activity Kits that can be delivered to households where getting
out is either not possible or not a familiar/comfortable practice. We have
three types of kits we will start delivering next week in collaboration
with one of our community partners: nature crafts, a mindfulness garden and
a grow kit with native seeds.

And this week (April 22) marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. We
encourage you to celebrate our amazing home by giving back to the Earth.
You can plant a garden, hug a tree, pick up some trash, hang a bird feeder,
conduct some citizen science, etc.

Message-ID: <H82N6.20865BAF@bogan.ca>

Hello fellow members of BNS

I plan to participate in the Bioblitz this weekend and thought the following facts would be helpful for any others with similar inclinations.

The Name of the event is not just Bioblitz but "City Nature Challenge 2020: Annapolis Valley". You can learn about the project on the iNaturalist web page at the following link.
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-annapolis-valley

It is easy to participate once you are a user of iNaturalist.org.  (It's free so get your username and password now  http://iNaturalist.org).
All we have to do is to report our observations on our iNarualist page.  As long as the observation idicateds that it was done in Kings or Annaplis County of Nova Scotia AND during the time period of April 24th through April 27th it will be added to the data for the City Natural Challenge.

This year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be no contest between 'cities' but the bioblitz will continue. The collection of information on local natural history is of great value.  More details on participation is available on the City Nature Challenge webpage at
https://citynaturechallenge.org

This sight has an excellent document (pdf)  suggesting how to observe nature near home. The direct link is
https://citynaturechallenge.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Exploring-Nature-in-and-around-your-home.pdf

Read this and observe nature this weekend and submit them to iNaturalists.

Have fun and enjoy the weekend, Thanks

On Monday morning you will receive an invitation to the meeting by Pat Kelly with a link. Just before 7:30PM you can click on the link and you will be automatically connected to the meeting.
This is going to be quite exciting I feel as it is a way to connect despite the Covid-19 isolation we are all experiencing.

Cheers,
Soren

Subject: [BNS_members] Information for Monday's April meeting
Message-ID: <57F3C1CE-0643-4E04-BBF1-9DA0CEA3364A@dal.ca>

Hello everyone:

Below is the information you will need to joint the meeting. It will start at 7:30 PM. You can either click on the link, or go to https://zoom.us and click on Join A Meeting. You can then use the meeting ID and the password.

Note that your microphone will automatically be muted when you join. That is because with a large number of people, it only takes background noise from a few to make it hard to hear what is being presented. For those not familiar with Zoom, we will show you how to unmute for things like the question and answer session after each of the student presentations.

==========

Patrick Kelly is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
