For #ClimateAction, on our recent visit to Florida 1-6, Tanya and I rented a Hyundai Ionic 5 EV (Electric Vehicle). We loved driving it and it was so much fun to go #gasfree. Next time you rent a car on vacation, consider renting an #EV. #ActOnClimate #climate #LeadOnClimate #ElectricVehicle

For our #democracy and for #ClimateAction, the current book I am reading right now, “High Conflict” by Amanda Ripley. It’s about how we get trapped in destructive conflict and how we can get out. I highly recommend it. She was a terrific keynote speaker for the @cclusa.org Conference last July.
