Do you believe we're now in a global emergency?

Yes

What does climate change mean to you?

It means we're in a time in history when we have to deal with the repercussions of over a century of unhindered use of the Earth's natural resources and fossil fuels. It means as an American I have to deal with the fact that the way of life I was raised with will more than likely decline in my lifetime. Both as individuals and as a species we must now look to how resources will be distributed more evenly and fairly in the future. It means we now must truly plan for the future and how we are going to get there.

What does peace mean to you?

I think peace is a world where everyone understands that all life is sacred.

What does community mean to you?

For me community is friends, family, coworkers, neighbors all relying on one another to make life livable.

What does politics mean to you?

As someone is naturally and intensely political, I have come to believe that politics is a way of distracting us from the power brokers 'behind the scenes' and the real problems that we are faced with around the world.

What does money mean to you?

Money is a tool that is a part of larger system created to regulate who has access to the land and resources of the Earth.

What makes you truly happy?

Music, dancing, cooking for friends and family. Being nude in the Sun.
