Earthlings Letter #12 – Diversity
In this letter I want to talk about diversity, a word which means “a range or variety of different things”. And I think this will be the final letter in this series of Earthling Letters. There will be more letters in the future and you can be sure that they will all be about nature…
Read MoreLet’s Defend the Caloosahatchee River
I come to praise the Caloosahatchee River, not condemn her. We have to stop maligning our waterways and start figuring out how to protect and restore them. Projects like Everglades restoration that have been on hold for 20 years or more are a sad testimonial to the lack of focus and flawed thinking going on…

We have now completed hour solar golf cart project. Check it out!
Read MoreUniversal Basic Income (UBI) Trial in Finland
Finland’s Universal Basic Income (UBI) trial highlights the need for improving how compensation for our work contributions are managed. This includes an expanded definition of what is work.

Read MoreOur Solar Boat Accident
The danger of wakes to small or slower moving boats that use the Caloosahatchee River and the rest of the Intracoastal Waterway is astounding.

Read MoreDon’t Follow the Money and it’s Surrogate Political Power
Follow the Realities of a Sustainable Future For America and the Planet. Supporters of fuel ethanol have been seriously weakened by our failure to fully grasp this reality. Example: there is no way we could even nibble our way into the massive PR campaign of “We are Energy Voters” and other misleading efforts, reports and…

Check out a recent video of the solar boat in Floria! Take note of the artwork 🙂
Read MoreFor Bill
A part of each of us has been withdrawn. Pulled away like the tucking under of a recoiling wave. Things that made sense in Bills presence, now are not certain, not so clear. For awhile we are left unsure, stranded. We look about and wonder at the expanse… were we trying for too much? Bill,…
Read MoreEarthlings Letter #11 – The Human Species
Greetings Earthlings! In this EL, I want to introduce some thoughts about what we are doing here as Earthlings, as a species (a living group that is similar looking and can have babies like themselves) called Human. Scientists have figured that we have been evolving (developing gradually from ancestors closely related to us) on Earth…
