Dear Human of Planet Earth,

Here’s a word for you: Sustainability.

It’s a nice word. But what does it even mean? And what does it mean for you?

If you’re anything like me, you’re not growing most of your own food using permaculture, or generating your own electricity.

Every day your life impacts our habitat for better or for worse. What can you do for better?

What can we do for better?

It’s not going to be easy making the changes we need to as a human global population. We’ve never faced an extinction-level threat before. We’re used to fighting and outwitting each other for resources and trophies of every kind. What’s needed is massive collaboration and consensus.

What’s required is a paradigm shift, an embrace of #sustainability, #TheCircularEconomy and #ClimateAction

And I’m here to keep us - you and me - focused.

Often I’ll write about little things. But don’t discount the little things. It’s the little things that are key to the conscious mind - and so key to any paradigm shift we’re working towards.

We’re social animals and what you do influences the folks in your circle.

Every big thing we humans do together happens because of little things, little thoughts, little actions, that add up.

With every letter, I’ll be encouraging you, lovingly, to take action.

Impossible is nothing.

We can do better, together.
