Summary Bio
Born in Mississippi and educated in New England and Europe with a broad background in the physical sciences, economics and public policy, Eric Britton founded EcoPlan
in 1966 to provide an independent international forum of observation,
reflection and counsel on issues involving technological change as it
effects people in their daily lives.
Over the years in his for-profit work he has initiated, participated
in, and carried to completion a fair number and range of international advisory
assignments and research and demonstration projects aimed at providing decision counsel
to government, business and the volunteer sector in many parts of the world on thorny issues of technology,
economy and society.
A common theme in all his work is the strategic adaptation
of technologies, products, services, business practices, and institutional
structures to changing technological, resource and environmental requirements and perceptions. The vehicle for this extensive public interest work is an open public cooperative that he founded in the seventies as, what he then called, an "invisible college". Today it is called The
Commons. And behind this all, the unrelenting bottom-line challenges of sustainable development, sustainable lives and social justice.
