A letter to Obama... from a visionary.

I couldn't agree more!

From a visionary and true supporter of brilliance - wherever it lives...Duke Stump:

"Dear Mr. President

Kudos!

Your emergence as President of the US has given new meaning for living the extraordinary. Stoked you made it. Now the hard part - igniting a nation to focus on what could be versus what is.

I know your busy, but I simply wanted to offer up five quick thoughts for you to consider as you continue to build out your green team:

1. Call it Team Humanity and awaken us to the real essence of the green movement

2. Adopt Life’s Principles to inform your strategy

* Build from the bottom up
* Self-assemble
* Optimize rather than maximize
* Use free energy, cross-pollinate
* Embrace diversity
* Adapt and evolve
* Use life-friendly materials and processes
* Engage in symbiotic relationships
* Enhance the bio-sphere

3. Develop a Northstar (i.e. vision) for 2020 in a way that we are incredibly inspired and greatly empowered because we see our place and our contribution in the journey.

4. Break the rules that bind. Add an Anthropologist, Biologist, Humanist and representation from Gen Y (affectionately referred to as Generation WE) to the team.

5. Cite Buckminster Fuller frequently and often so that his teachings and principles will be optimized.

Good luck!

Live, love & laugh,

Duke

PS. I think it would be great if you built a local CSA farm on the White House lawn. Cool?"
