People come to us for a bike tour. A chance to relax, feel like a kid again, and see some really cool stuff along the water as they learn about the area. Many leave hugging me and inviting me to stay at their house any time I'm in whatever part of the world they live. Why? Our bike tours add in a dose of the importance of being a voice for what matters, no matter where you live. A mentor of mine, Dr Sylvia Earle (Oceanographer and former head scientist of NOAA, and author of The World is Blue) says “People ask: Why should I care about the ocean? Because the ocean is the cornerstone of earth's life support system, it shapes climate and weather. It holds most of life on earth. 97% of earth's water is there. It's the blue heart of the planet — we should take care of our heart. It's what makes life possible for us. We still have a really good chance to make things better than they are. They won't get better unless we take the action and inspire others to do the same thing. No one is without power. Everybody has the capacity to do something.” ― Sylvia A. Earle Dr Earle's message resonates in my company and has engaged me to be a voice and advocate of education for what makes communities vibrant and better places for people to live, work and play. A voice for our rivers, the value of sustainable neighborhoods, the power of engaged citizens, to cultural enrichment, to architectural gems, to getting back to the earth and organic food, and the importance of the celebration and preservation of history, accessibility for safe walking and biking, to buying local and volunteering!
