He's also the Editor of the journal, Sustainability: Science, Practice, and Policy, and co-founder of the Future Earth Knowledge-Action Network on Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production.

In this podcast episode, Maurie sheds light on what we can learn from viewing conscious consumerism, not through an individualistic lens, but a more collective one; the limitations and cautions against seeing localization as our path forward; and more.
