I am currently an American student entering my final year at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia. Next spring I will be receiving degrees in both environmental studies and anthropology. Prior to returning to university I founded or co-founded three environmental non-profits in the US (Utah) and worked in politics. I am currently awaiting approval of a research project analyzing the impact of a guaranteed basic income on consumption. I am a huge supporter of this concept and would love to do whatever I can to help. Thanks for your work advocating on behalf of this important and timely issue.
