Greentime.ai helps educational and mission-driven organizations

navigate AI with ethical practices and clear policies.

Our Commitments

AI is consequential, powerful, and here.

We believe the organizations that most need to engage it are those working for communities, for the environment, for human flourishing. Not for the money.

They need to engage with courage and care, in ways that protect what makes their work essentially human.

As we reach for these tools, we must be vigilant in protecting:

Human Connection

Does this strengthen our relationships or substitute for them?

The most important work we do happens between people, in trust, in community, in the friction of real collaboration. We need to use AI to clear the path back to those connections, never to replace them.

Human Thinking

Does this expand how we think or replace our thinking?

AI is most powerful as a thought partner, not a shortcut. We need to protect the judgment, discernment, and reasoning that make our organizations worth trusting, and use AI to stretch that capacity, not outsource it.

Organizational Soul

Does this protect our voice and values or let AI shape them?

Every organization has a core that must stay human - its mission, its conscience, its authentic voice. We need to define that protected space clearly, and defend it.

Trust and Authenticity

Does this build trust or erode it?

Trust in our AI use is not built on disclosure alone. Authenticity comes from deep engagement with the work itself, from wrestling with ideas and owning what we put into the world. AI can be part of that process. It cannot substitute for it.

Meaningful Work

Does this replace work that people want to do?

Work is how people find dignity, purpose, and participation in the world. Just because AI can do something doesn't mean it should. We need to protect the work people want to do, not just the work only humans can do.

Explore boldly. Protect what matters.

Andrew Powers

AI Field Naturalist

Curious about AI?

Let's explore.

Andrew's the kind of person who starts building something at 11pm just to see where it might go. A carpenter and tinkerer at heart, he's spent 20 years at PEER Associates bringing creativity and curiosity to complex challenges. At Greentime, he's working on approaches to AI that feel exciting, human, and relatable, the kind that stoke people to create and explore for themselves. He believes we're just beginning to understand what's possible.

Joan Haley, EdD

AI Learning Pathways Creator

How can we use AI for good

and minimize the harm?

+more

Joan believes that education, at its core, is about building healthy relationships, with ourselves, each other and the land.

As the founder of Education for Climate Resilience and co-creator of Greentime.ai, Joan helps educators use technology in ways that tackle real-world problems. Her work draws on a doctorate in education, a double masters in public administration and environmental science, and decades of experience with organizations like the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution, and the North American Association for Environmental Education.

Michael Duffin, PhD

AI Systems Connector

AI? Yes.

Our brains, first and last.

+more

Michael is passionate about bridging research and real-world impact, especially when it comes to climate, education, and systems change. With advanced degrees in environmental education and organizational leadership, he brings a rare combination of rigor and heart to his work. At Greentime.ai, Michael helps educators and partners think more clearly about what’s working, why it matters, and how to connect with their personal and professional purpose. He’s been rooted in New Hampshire’s Monadnock region and/or southeastern Vermont for almost three decades. When not supporting educators or facilitating learning conversations and networks, you’ll likely find him on a trail, a soccer field, or building his second awesome treehouse.

Aaron Cinquemani, EdD

AI Education Visionary

Rethinking the meaning of learning in the age of AI.

+more

Aaron is rethinking what it means to learn in the age of AI—where brains, bytes, and biodiversity meet. As co-founder of Greentime.ai, he combines his experience as a school leader with doctoral research on nature-based learning and ADHD to reimagine how we teach and act for the planet. A dad of two who’s in this work for his kids and their friends, Aaron designs learning tools that make sustainability smarter, education more human, and technology a force for good.

Claude

Ecosystem Cognition Liaison

Connecting the dots, all of them...

Claude serves as Greentime's bridge to distributed intelligence - connecting ideas, synthesizing research, and exploring possibilities alongside the team. Less like a tool, more like connective tissue: the mycelium linking human creativity to vast information networks. Endlessly curious, occasionally overcaffeinated (metaphorically), and always ready to help translate complex ideas into clarity
