It's part of the cost of doing business; you pay your employees, you pay your r e n t , a n d part of your overhead is the cost of the use of our planet.

Favorite quote: "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. They experience their selves, their thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delu- sion of his consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all liv- ing creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." — Albert Einstein [modified with inclusive gender pronoun] Influential book: "The Way of Integrity," by Martha Beck Favorite TV show: "Ted Lasso" (all of my leadership intel comes from this show). How do you recharge: Meditation, a quiet walk along the coast with my pup, traveling to a new destination to expand my viewpoint, or a beautiful home-cooked meal with friends.
