I Want to Ride My Bicycle……
Jul 18Its summer and its hot. Its actually very hot this summer. Its distressfully hot, and now we are finally hearing about climate change again–and not from academics, but from the weathermen and our local news channels. Summer is an amazing time of year. It represents time to slow down, a time to play, to travel, eat fresh food from our gardens and enjoy warm nights under the stars. But this...
The Power of the Pause
Jun 07I am blessed right now with a significant amount of work as we try and grow this dream, Cleargreen Advisors. I have been reduced to scheduling my day, sometimes in 15 minute increments, carving out enough time to exercise, eat and sleep. I remember taking a time management class back in MBA school days where they said, “look at all the big rocks in your day, schedule them, ad then fill all...
SOS: State of Sustainability
Jun 04I am in between a good run of strategic sustainability planning sessions for a few companies. They range from super small to super big. Planning for the sessions I decided to think about the SOS – State of Sustainability. So, I just made it up to a list of 38 trends that fall under the topic of Sustainability…..38….really? It was a bit stream of consciousness. I know this list...
Growing Out of Climate Change

The ski season was too short, and I feel like we really did not have much of a winter. The soil is warm enough to get my early starts in–a good month earlier than last year. As I was digging in the dirt, I started thinking about climate change. How could I not? I have tan...
Ecological Overshoot
Feb 29I have always heard it called Earth’s Carrying Capacity…that is how long and how much can this planet of ours provide the life sustaining resources for 7billion + of us. The Global Footprint Network is a non-profit organization that is helping to educate all of us on sustainability and the fact that Earth can’t support us all. I guess that is the definition of...
Its All About the Bag Credit
Feb 23I live in Boulder Colorado—a place where we have almost as many Whole Foods as we do liquor stores (actually Whole Foods owns a liquor store here). Forget your reusable bags and someone you know sees you and it is almost like you have a scarlet letter on your jacket. But across the street there is a Target. There is even one of those cool crosswalks with the blinking sign to cross from...
