As you might have guessed, I’m taking this week off. I thought about finding an environmental TED Talk, a nature-inspired poem, or some quotes from a titan or titaness of the movement, but decided against it. Instead, I want to hammer out a couple of paragraphs on this keyboard and then send you on your way. I want you to spend time with your loved ones, whether virtually or in person (hoping for the latter), rather than reading anything else.

So all I want to say this week is how thankful I am for you reading this blog. Thank you even more for caring - about the natural world, about environmental justice, about clean energy and recycling and composting and our rivers and biodiversity loss and being a conscious consumer and whatever other things I write about that resonate with you. And even more than caring, thank you for DOING things that help all of us to leave a better world for Tomorrow’s Child. In the words of the immortal Elvis Presley, “Thank you. Thank you very much.” My best to you all!
