He graduated college from the University Without Walls at Roger Williams College with a B.A. degree in Comparative Religion and Futurism. His work life was mostly spent in small factories. Where he applied his insights into the interconnectedness of processes to organize production. One job of note was in a textile factory on the banks of the Blackstone River just a few miles upstream from the Slater’s mill.
John opened a shop in 1991 selling earth friendly products. Though only open for a year, John gained insights into what was in fact “green” and what was mostly marketing.
John was one of the original members of the Rhode Island Green Party. He always stressed the need to be future focused, and to make creativity part of the political discussion.
John currently lives in Cumberland, R.I. He can be reached at johnlouismartin116@gmail.comview less
