Welcome!

 Welcome to the Eco Eco Aus blog!  Here you will find posts that explore a range of topics from ecological economics, value, happiness and using economics in the everyday world.  The blog will primarily be designed to explore my growing understandings of being an Ecological Economist but will also explore how economics can be used to understand happiness and value. 

By design, the blog will not be limited to one topic or theme and will remain open to a variety of topics to allow the full creative flow of inspiration to continue. The idea is that the blog encompasses the fullness of a learning journey that cannot be limited to one theme or part of life as nothing is separate from the whole. Everything is connected to everything else and by allowing the economics of happiness to blend and merge with the economics of the environment the understandings between the two fields deepen by more than the sum of its parts. 

 At its heart, it chronicles my own journey of professional and creative learning that I want to share with others. It is a journey that began some years ago as an undergrad at University just trying to make sense of big, complicated topics I didn't (but needed to) understand. While part of it will chronicle how I used economics to help me find a true, deep sense of joy and contentment in the world, the main portion of this blog will be used to explore my understanding of ecological economics and my growth from a budding professional into a full-fledged professional with my own unique and indelible mark to leave on the world. Topics around value, underpinning assumptions, and living in harmony with the natural world will be continuously explored within this blog. They are values deep in my heart that inform all my practice and make the backbone of my practice as an Ecological Economist. 

My hope from this blog is that it will provide something of value to readers from all levels of economic knowledge and from all streams of economics whether is a new way to use economics to inform our connection to nature or our connection to self. 

Enjoy!

What do recessions and pantries have in common?

I have been buying pantry items for many years now, and I've observed a cycle at play that and it reminds me of the economic cycle of recessions and booms. There are times my pantry is full to bursting with tasty things to eat, and then I stop buying food because there's no room for it. Over time, the food supplies slowly dwindle but there is a problem. Finishing things off can be challenging for me. When I first buy something, I eat a lot of it, but by the time I'm around 3/4 way through, I've had enough and am ready for the next thing. Unfortunately, that last 1/4 seems to hang around FOREVER! and I mean forever. I've had little bits of items left over that take-up space for years. All that junk floating around in my cupboards is pretty inefficient when you think about it. I have all this food I hardly eat, taking up space so I can't even see what I do have. This leads me to sometimes go on ""finishing sprees", where I make a conscious effort to...

A place to begin

Welcome to the Eoc Eco Aus Blog! My name is Aeronwyn and I am the content creator, owner, and economist at Eco Eco Aus.  This is my first post on the blog and for it, I would like to share a life-defining moment, a beginning moment that would ultimately bring me here. Let's take a dive back in time to my early years at University, back when I was trying to figure it all out.  When I started my Bachelor's of Commerce back in 2017, I had no idea where I would finish in 2020. I started it because I knew I would need to change careers but I wasn't sure what I would change it to. At the time, I thought I would pursue careers in management or HR but the moment of truth actually came in the middle of 2019. At this stage, I was 1.5 years into my degree and had chosen my major as economics but I still needed to work out what I planned to do with it after uni so I could come up with a plan and chart my course accordingly. This question was a primary focus during my 2-week hiking holi...
