i wanna, i do
i wanna be a sustainable land use nutrition agronimist,
a tree and climate finance futurist
at the intersection of the land, the business, the people, the sky,
don’t ask me why
i feel so strongly about it
but i do
for you.
.
i wanna explain photosynthesis to bankers, how trees make wood
the carbon, the soils, the mineral oils
how it all connects, how it should
so they can decide if they could
to put the money where the good
is, if they should
care.
.
i dare you to think about this: not later but now
the if when why and how
because wow,
the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, not now.
.
we can do a lot, it’s not too late
when was the last time you ate
a thing you knew how it landed on your plate
a cocoa puff let’s say
that was shipped all the way
and back
around the world
to be placed in a bowl and nurture your soul (on Monday morning when you need it more)
but rob someone else’s —- goals.
.
these are the thin cocktail glass illusions of our progress
but i digress.
i wanna,
i do
for you.
