I asked champions of industry, politics, and environmental-
ism about the upcoming midterm elections, and why every vote
counts...What does it mean to be an informed citizen?
“Climate Change presents the most serious existential risk fac-
ing humanity and life-as-we-know-it. Being an informed citizen
means to understand the serious nature of greenhouse gasses
warming the Earth’s atmosphere, acidifying oceans, and forcing floods, droughts, and superstorms
with increasing intensity and frequency. We are now past the point of mitigation and have reached
adaptation and resilience. Community-supported agriculture, distributed energy, circular economies,
and localized systems are how we empower the people to create a better world for their children
and future generations. Vote for a renewable, sustainable, and energy-efficient future.
Chip Comins, Chairman & CEO
American Renewable Energy Institute | President, American Spirit Productions | Founder AREDAY
What are you teaching your children about American politics right now?
I am teaching my kids that we cannot take democracy, freedom, and the rule of law for granted.
We need to be actively engaged citizens to safeguard these important values and aspects of America.
I am also teaching my kids that, as much as we disagree with someone else, we need to work hard
to listen and to forge common ground and not to attribute evil intent to someone we disagree with.
And at the same time, we have to demand kindness and civility from others. We should not allow
any politician to divide us or to normalize bullying or indecency. We need to demand from ourselves
and everyone else respect, decency, kindness, and the basic skills of empathy and civility that form
the foundation of our country—and that are the secret of our greatness as a nation.

Notorious RBG
The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsberg
On View through March, 2019 at the
Skirball Cultural Center
2701 N Sepulveda Blvd,
Los Angeles skirball.org
This year marks Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s 25th
year on the US Supreme Court. RBG’s work
]\ethic, lifelong teamwork, and commitment
to the legal profession, are only a few reasons
that this long-serving justice has become a
cultural icon. The Skirball’s interactive and
thoughtful retrospective is based on the New
York Times best-selling book. It offers a
glimpse into RBG’s influences and teachers,
her personal and home life, and her ground-
breaking commentary on the court. Visitors
can hear recordings of her arguments and
discussions that provide a context into the
importance in everyday life for people who
aren’t legal scholars. And in an installation
designed to encourage our aspirations, there
are a set of robes and a set up of the bench
for people to photograph themselves if not in
her shoes, then cloaked in the uniform of her
position. Go see the exhibit to appreciate the
ongoing legacy of the Notorious RBG. Read
more about the exhibit on: layoga.com.and is an integral part of the spiritual teachings.
