...Sky's the Limit

There is no limit to what is possible, an insight into the human mind.  Preserving the environment is no different.  And as long as there is 1% chance I will invest 100% effort.

By far our greatest challenge is preserving the balance between environment and the impact of human activity, rivaling the tragedies occurring in Africa, India as well as other developing nation- humanitarily speaking there is no comparison, but there are many links.  Preserving one can improve the outlook for many.

Fortunately human capacity has the unique ability to adapt and change.  Fraught with compromises, questions and with so many to consider, there is no satisfactory answer for what we face.

World population as of October 1, 2010 6,872,233,191

As I reflect on what my task is at Tufts University I think about the power of the resources at my disposal in Urban Planning and Environmental Engineering.  I reflect on the opportunity as a utility, to apply theory, philosophy, ideology, modeling and structure to produce a transformational strategy to preserve our natural environment-- helping others to understand and improve.  I believe we can learn to help others make immeasurable leaps in faith and progress.  My goal is to produce compelling insights that can move the world-- why not?

Engagement with people from around the world, resembling a United Nations located in a place where  our differences become our indifference-- to barriers.  We to explore the frontier together in order to foster new thinking and energy that makes the planet a more habitable place to live.

Critical thresholds of water resources; debate and dialog on economic influences, health risk factors all leave me capitulating to the evidence that rests before me; knowing that within all of this is not solely idealism that drives my commitment to change, but my unshakable belief in what is possible for humanity to achieve.  People managing scarcity, and transforming it into abundance, implementing strategies around policies and sound planning, collectively represent my drivers.

How much time do we have to achieve all this?

We have exactly enough time... starting right now.

Do something environmental (DSE)

Imagine

Imagine a place where no student struggles where their dreams last forever and none ever busts their bubble

Imagine if on the Horizon no Deepwater blew, if the ocean was still clean and still looked brand new
Imagine if safety truly existed for all, young women, girls and boys not getting raped but being exalted

Imagine if Darfur was just a land of peace where women, men and children were just our brethren to the East

What if Kosovo were not a reality, no suffering, pain or useless brutality and if Hitler in Germany never killed, millions of people, blood whole and not spilled; in Sudan, South Africa, Watusi and fate how on Earth could we live in a world full of hate.

Imagine if conflict were just a word,
that never found a way into our vocabulary
and were replaced with exponential power even just in a third
of what we feel when we know the meaning of sanctuary.

Imagine if politicians did more than represent, a fiction of what people hope really wanted, might they then make a dent.
Imagine if the land we cherish so much were more than economic and political clutch, more than a place for esoteric foods for people with a fetish or elitist broods.

Can you imagine what it is like to breathe clean air, to live a life of laughter and not despair
Imagine how many lives we could have saved if we to treat people like humans and not like slaves

Imagine banks that worked like a friend, lending helping hands without making you bend

Imagine if energy were something we protected without exploiting resources using the pipes we erected.

Imagine valuing life in a way that there was no dollar value to make you feel like you'll pay. Would we finally live life and knowing freedom comes our way.

Imagine that Katrina had never occurred, where the voice of people could still be heard; egregious acts and lack there of, acts are just a performance, blood requires a glove.

Imagine if Palestinians and Israelis knew no war, imagine what women, infants and children died for.

Imagine if you your gender or race didn't matter, if people cared for people, if there were never homeless on the streets feeling sadder

Imagine if hugs, I love you, and kiss were just pure; and that law suits and malfeasance existed no more.

Imagine Edison's belief in natural resources
where coal, nuclear and oil were not power forces

doubt and despair are inimical traits take time to imagine take time to wait
It is not how soon things can come to an end, sometimes its just how you begin- and how you can continue which takes time and makes friends

Imagine that I never had to think like this, cause the world that we lived had more thoughts with more bliss.
