Earth Stewardship/Bio

1) Who are you?

Jonathan Wooldridge

I am a Senior lecturer at a UK University and have 16 years industry experience working in global operations for the oil and gas industry. During my working career offshore I gained an interest in environmental decision making and as such I have developed a passion for environmental management and eco-psychology. As a visionary I am heading a campaign for an International Environmental Court and have developed an integrated system that is inclusive of everyone on every level. As a coalition this fits the global cooperative framework very nicely and should also align with future MUN programs.

2) Where can we find you on the web?

Jonathan Wooldridge

At www.esa-international.eu and for my professional blog please visit : http://www.port.ac.uk/departments/academic/edam/staff/title,57007,en.html(Work blog) I can be found on facebook, Internations, XING and will soon have an online area for RSS news feeds, twitters and threaded discussions. To aid learning there will also be an information portal that forms a free virtual learning environment that operates in a similar way to an online environmental Citizens Advice Bureau. Group documents are presently stored on office live and my intention is to develop an open transparent filing system that can be viewed by any interested parties.

3) Why did you join a Social Network?

Jonathan Wooldridge

Initially I began networking so that I could trace many of my friends who are dotted all over the World. Working in global operations allows you the opportunity to travel and rub shoulders with all walks of life. Now facebook and previous to this friends re-united has allowed for friendships to be re-formed. Sites such as Internations and XING take the concept to a new level and they allow for specialist decision making teams who can collaborate and work creatively for developing solutions to our present global problems. Behind the technocratic systems I am interested in e-emergence and human emergence as I feel we all need to act more responsibly, and become more accountable and more transparent if we are to align with nature and live in a more sustainable way.

4) What benefits you gained from Social Networks already?

Jonathan Wooldridge

The cross pollination of ideas and the sharing of knowledge has proven to be amongst the top benefits. This has also allowed for quick replication of information across all nations and sub cultures, allowing for the formation of communities of enquiry that become communities of practice. Shared values form shared beliefs that all lead to a new emerging culture and if finely tuned and developed in an autonomous way will see the evolution and development of positive mind sets right throughout the World.

5) How do you create new friends/contacts?

Jonathan Wooldridge

Patience and lack of judgment allows you to see the qualities in every type of person regardless of their beliefs, opinions or race. Everyone after all is a reflection of ourselves and we all form the collective brain that exerts itself on the natural environment. The time now is to realize how our built environment is a manifestation of our collective thoughts and as such making friends and contacts will require the selection of many types of person from a whole spectrum of backgrounds so that we can embed more natural and happier ways of being amongst our global population.

6) How should Social Networking develop in the future?

Jonathan Wooldridge

Societal norms should work towards natural elements and networks should be developed with elemental characteristics in mind. For example data is like water, it flows as a valuable resource but can get blocked if poorly managed or restricted and polluted if it becomes contaminated. WATER - Where Attention goes, The EneRgy flows…. ICE is the International Environmental Court, that if we set up using too much legislation then everything would freeze over and nothing would get done. FIRE is the heat from industry – Industry Relevant Forced Evolution – FIRE melts the ICE and creates FLOW – WATER, and so balance is maintained in a similar way to the way that a graphic equalizer is set by the moderators and the modulators (The Paradigm shifters) of whom we all take a role. METAL is the conductor and reflectors allowing information to be replicated. METAL is the Morphological Emergence That Effects All Life, like looking in a mirror and observing the change / observing the truth. There are other elements that align the way energy is transferred and transformed around our social networks, but this complexity I choose to leave in favor of finishing with the most important element of all. EARTH : you seen inside the whole word the name ART, surround by an E and a H. The Art of Human Emergence….
