David A. Bainbridge was born in 1948 in Schnectady, New York. He grew up in the west, living as a child in Colorado, Washington,
Oregon and California. He received a B.A. in Earth Sciences from the University of California, San Diego (1970) and an M.S.
in Ecology from the University of California, Davis (1973). His interest in economics and the challenges of sustainable resource
management and environmental accounting began in the interdisciplinary Eco-Grad Group at the University of California, Davis
in the 1970s. His career began with environmental planning work for the Environmental Development Agency in San Diego in 1970
to protect the coastal lagoons of San Diego County.
His work has focused on sustainable management of resources and people and has included: developments in environmental impact
analysis, land capability evaluation, planning for sustainable communities, natural heating and cooling research, alternative
building materials research and education (including straw bale building systems), research and education work in agroforestry
and sustainable agriculture, desert and grassland restoration, and environmental accounting and sustainable management for
businesses.
Bainbridge helped develop the sustainable management program for the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management at Alliant International
University and taught sustainable management, environmental management reporting, ethics, and other courses, until his retirement
in 2010.
