30 days. 7,667 miles. 26 states. This summer, Jean Case and I took an RV on a trip across America. It had always been a bucket list item for us and it ended up being a fun, interesting, and inspiring journey. We visited a lot of places. Met a lot of people. Learned a lot. And I can confidently say that I’m more optimistic about America than when we kicked off our trip.

These powerful places can take many forms, including business offices, libraries and coworking spaces, among others. I’m pleased to now see that a handful of state and local governments are seeking to encourage the creation and nurturing of these “third places.

So I had promised that I would start writing about potential solutions to the climate crisis. As I started down that path, I realized that to discuss their relative importance or effectiveness requires a better understanding of the scale of the crisis. The alien invasion analogy sums it up as a single number: the excess energy above the pre-industrial baseline that we are adding to the atmospheric system amounts to 1 Hiroshima-sized nuclear bomb every second (all day, 365 days a year).
