You always bump into politics in life, and as a man, I'm party to a number of environmental issues that concern me first and foremost, as a man, as a father.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Politics is the art of controlling your environment.
I can trace my environmentally-friendly lifestyle back to my childhood. My father was a conservative Republican that liked to 'conserve'.
Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.
All too often, the conversation about appropriate and balanced environmental stewardship gets caught up in partisan politics. Yet, this conversation is key to the preservation of our great country for generations to come, as important as ensuring we have fiscally responsible policies to secure our future.
I am political. But not politically active. I'm not my dad. I'll never write polemic, as he did.
As a dad, you are the Vice President of the executive branch of parenting. It doesn't matter what your personality is like, you will always be Al Gore to your wife's Bill Clinton. She feels the pain and you are the annoying nerd telling them to turn off the lights.
I'm involved in issues, and issues are about grass-roots politics.
Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.
Environmental concern is now firmly embedded in public life: in education, medicine and law; in journalism, literature and art.
There is a societal cost of increased pollution, and that's what I'm passionate about as a mother.
