Open Space Session on Sustainability Books

December 16 All day

Sustainability Books with Maryse Meinen

Monday, December 16 • 12:00–1:00 PM ET • Online Event

We are all influenced by the books we read. What books marked your sustainability journey? Friends of the Agile Sustainability Initiative will discuss what book has impacted them most, and attendees will be curious to hear about your book recommendations. Lost in the possibilities? Want to know which book on sustainability to read first? Join us as we learn and share in this first Open Space Session on sustainability books!

Meet your host, Maryse Meinen

Maryse Meinen is a product manager, working in IT infrastructure, together with an awesome team. She is weaving sustainability in all that she does, also in her work in product development, because if we don’t… nothing else will matter. Looking for ways to develop products more sustainably (in the whole value chain) the radical economic theory of Degrowth and the idea of “doing more with less” caught her attention. She is now applying these principles practically in her way of working. Maryse is also an active practitioner of Stoic philosophy, which aligns neatly with sustainability principles because it advocates “wanting what you already have” (instead of striving to have all you want).
