I believe I may be a suitable moderator on Sustainable Living. I am quite able to keep a cool head in face of conflict, which helps me to remain patient and fair as well as respectful to my fellow community members. Moderation is always an act of last resort.

Sustainability is critically important. I have been a moderator on Earth Science since many years, and there are some topical intersections between the two. Planetary boundaries in general and climate change specifically are among the largest challenges facing mankind in the 21st century. They are central to both Earth Science and Sustainability, so I think being a moderator on both sites is quite compatible.

Having said that, it is likely that other moderator candidates will be able to put more time into the site than me. My participation has not been super active, therefore you may consider voting for someone else. It's good that this election is competitive now that I'm adding my nomination. However, since it's not one of the biggest sites, so it should not require a very large amount of time. If elected, I will put in more time than I have until now.
