About

I am Founder and Professor of Information Ecology at Information Habitat: Where Information Lives, an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council, Chair of the Information and Communications Sub-Committee of the NGO Committee on Education of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.

 

I am also a Board member of La Perla Garden, a GreenThumb Community Garden in New York's Upper West Side that is part of the Manhattan Land Trust, and where composting is at the heart of my participation in the garden, and helps to keep me grounded

 

For the past 20 years - since the early stages of preparation for the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro - my principal focus has been on facilitating and promoting the systematic use of information and communications technology in support of broad-based participation of non-governmental organizations in the work of the UN relating to sustainability, peace and justice, beginning with preparations for the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

 

For the past 12 years, my emphasis has increasingly been on an evolving holistic science of information ecology, and the remarkable global transition to a universe of shared knowledge - a universe in which scarcity is not constrained by the laws of conservation of mass and energy, nor by consideration of time, distance and cartesian geometry.
