Market-led Sustainability is  a 'Fix-that-Fails' as is illustraited in this graph in a very simplified manner. Likely market-led initiatives would be investment in renewables, electric cars and the development of long-term battery storage as a back-up to renewable energy adn other initiatives. However, all of these make demands on the environmemt, requiring  resources, fossil fuels (solar cannot beused to built  solar) and will be accompanied by greenhouse gas emission. In the medium and long term  they will undermine the market-driven goal,  increasing  environmental and economic costs.  The whole enterprise will eventually fail.

This is a model depicting Durham region waste management. It shows 4 types of waste, what township they come from, and how much comes from each of the 3 townships in the Durham Region with a Durham Region-owned waste management facility. The garbage leftover from each township after removing everything recyclable, compostable, and reusable, is sent to the Durham York Energy Center to create energy from the garbage. 

This is a heavily simplified model of the revenue generated by oil extraction and the pension fund. The oil reserves are a stock already considered in monetary value. Every year part of this stock goes to people working in the oil industry, the shareholders, or directly into the pension fund. Part of the workers' wages go to the pension fund as long as there are wages coming from the oil company. This money flow is stopped once the oil reserves are depleted. The payouts to the shareholders are not taxed, however the wealth of the shareholders is flat-taxed with a fixed percentage. This flow is nicknamed "Tax the Rich".

This model incorporates several options in examining fisheries dynamics and fisheries employment. The two most important aspects are the choice between I)managing based on setting fixed quota versus setting fixed effort , and ii) using the 'scientific advice' for quota setting  versus allowing 'political influence' on quota setting (the assumption here is that you have good estimates of recruitment and stock assessments that form the basis of 'scientific advice' and then 'political influnce' that desires increased quota beyond the scientific advice).

This project explores the rise and collapse of the Mayan civilization through a systemic lens. Using simulation models, it reveals feedback loops, structural limits, and public policy decisions that—when disconnected from systemic awareness—lead to silent yet irreversible decline. A powerful reflection for business leaders, governments, and citizens seeking to anticipate modern collapses.

This is a model depicting Durham region waste management. It shows 4 types of waste, what township they come from, and how much waste (in tonnes) comes from each of the 3 townships in the Durham Region with a Durham Region-owned waste management facility. The garbage leftover from each township after removing everything recyclable, compostable, and reusable, is sent to the Durham York Energy Center to create energy from the garbage.
