John Erik Meyer

John Meyer is a semi-retired small business owner with a degree in economics. He has had a number of articles published in Canada’s major newspapers dealing with a range of topics from population, immigration and the environment to the failings of GDP based metrics for social policy formation. He has also presented a paper on Energy Currency at a conference of that name in Split, Croatia. Mr. Meyer is currently President of the NGO “Canadians for a Sustainable Society” and owner and designer at a tiny medium tech manufacturing company. He dabbles in solar electric and heating systems as well as electric bikes and has just built a house which he expects to be (eventually) energy positive. His primary interests are the changes necessary to achieve a sustainable society, population cycles, energy and civilization and the reasons for failed human social structures throughout history.
