About

I graduated from UNC in 2006 where I studied philosophy, Chinese and Chinese politics, environmental ethics, decision theory, art, semiotics and economics.  Since then I have studied business and begun a series of entrepreneurial ventures including a web design practice.

My fucus for a great while has centered on meta-ethical considerations in business, marketing, education and life.  I would like to find new ways to work toward appropriate application of technology to systemic social and environmental problems as well as the means by which problems are identified.

I am from Raleigh and hope to move back there eventually or to wherever my projects take me.  I have traveled in China and in Europe, more recently.  On principle, I will avoid travelling in the future, in view of the new importance of local business, food systems and transportation system waste.

In my spare time I horse around with my friends, fiddle with my computer, bicycle, paint and work in the garden when I can.  I play pool and darts, Guitar Hero and I like to ski.  I am fond of Chinese brush painting, microbrews, thrift shops and yard sales, public policy consiserations and local music.

I plan on entering law school in 2009 to study environmental law and policy, information technology applications in law, tax policy or civil rights law.  I have maintained an interest in education and education policy but have not yet found a path to become involved in a productive manner.

I believe that the key to approaching a sustainable world community is to rearrange power structures to reflect a sustainability based meritocracy, where power is assigned to those who are able to demonstrate that their social and ecological footprints do not exceed the carrying capacity of society and the environment in which they live.

Let's figure out how to measure sustainability.

Hello James,

I felt compelled to call you today. 

But the line went busy.

I would like to discuss ways to demonstrate the WholEarth System wherever possible as soon as possible.

Also I notice some small typos on this page if you're interested?

Please call me at 818-266-3834

Very Kindly Yours
Lance Charles
