Principle 5: We Don’t Inherit the Earth, We Borrow It From Our Kids

Every election, politicians promise to “go green.” Then they approve more pipelines and ignore the floods, fires, and food shortages creeping across the country.

We can’t afford to talk anymore. We need to build a future that works, economically and environmentally.

Here’s what we’re pushing for:

• Invest in clean energy and local infrastructure. Solar and wind create jobs, not just power.

• Reduce food waste and support local farms.

• Protect water and air like they’re non-negotiable. Because they are.

• Sustainability = survival. But it also equals jobs, innovation, and independence.

As a father of 8, this isn’t about politics, it’s about my kids, your kids, and the country they’ll inherit.

Progress and preservation don’t have to be enemies. We can build both if we stop pretending they’re separate.
