Essay by Markus:
My motivation for a Home Energy Makeover is based on an
imperative I feel to do everything I can to address global warming after 10
years of working at NCAR. That decade of exposure to scientists and engineers
exploring the causes and implications of climate change has awakened me to the
growing crisis of our time. Nearly every day at work, I sat at lunch and
learned a new eye opening discovery about the nature and trajectory of the
changes we're seeing to weather and climate around the globe. My growing
concern has led me to make changes to my personal life, using less energy at
home, engaging the EnergySmart program to find new efficiencies, driving less
and less, and bicycling more and more.
After doing my part as a web engineer to accelerate the pace
of atmospheric science over all those years, I recently made a big change
in my life. I decided to become a poet and writer. I'll be publishing my
first book of poetry this Fall. My dream is to write under a roof of solar
panels providing my energy as I raise awareness about how we can walk with more
wisdom on this Earth.
Energetically yours,
Markus
