2017 Predictions

2017 Predictions

While waiting a few more days for the New Year…


here’s what I think we’ll see in 2017. Top 5:

  • California and China will lead the global green movement as the incoming U.S. federal government leadership seeks what’s clean about “clean coal” and de-funding actions based on the “climate-denier” mindset.

Disappointed by new leadership coming to Washington and certain state governments. But unbowed.

Environmental stewardship is rewarding, necessary work– from water tributary clean-up in our communities to renewable energy and other international platforms geared to slowing greenhouse gas emissions now poisoning our biosphere.

P.S.  Hesitant to predict anything along the lines of decency and (self-)respect in the political realm in the new year. Former Republican nominee for NY governor, Carl Paladino, couldn’t present a shockingly sadder picture of 2016.
