After taking a break from this newsletter in June, I’m now just sliding in under the wire for a July edition. For most of you, those months of June and July have been some of the hottest you’ve ever experienced, the planet once again reminding us that we need to take much more drastic action to address climate change than we have been taking. So, even as we Californians have been granted a remarkable reprieve from the extreme weather so far this year, we also recognize that it won’t last forever, and we’ll likely return very soon to the drought, wildfires, and suffocating heat that have become all-too normal everywhere. In the meantime, Caroline and I have enjoyed these eerily comfortable summer months with lots of outdoor activities, including cycling through the oak-dotted hills, redwood forests, and magnificent coastline of this place we call home—while at the same time taking whatever steps we can to reduce our carbon footprint and conserve precious resources.
