A family member recently asked me, “What’s with all this climate mumbo jumbo? Why is your attention always focused on that?”
My response was simple but deeply personal: “I’m protecting your future. Not enough attention is being given to this issue, especially from our government. I’ve taken it upon myself to keep the conversation going and the urgency alive.”
For years, my mind has been a vault of ideas—a mental file cabinet filled to the brim with thoughts, concerns, and solutions regarding our Climate and Ecological Emergency. Since March of 2006, I have prayed, learned, thought, and worried about the fate of our planet. Over time, I realized that this wasn’t just a concern; it was my mission. I thrive on continuous learning, and no subject holds more importance to me than how we adapt to the rapidly shifting world around us.
One of the most pressing ideas I’ve been developing is the creation of Adaptive Resiliency Centers (ARCs)—spaces dedicated to helping communities prepare for the inevitable changes ahead. The first ARC will be established in a community that is already fully aligned with the reality of what’s happening. These centers will serve as educational hubs, empowering people with the knowledge and skills needed for self-sufficiency. Key focus areas will include emergency preparedness, sustainable food production, resource management, and aid for those who have lost everything due to climate-induced disasters.
But ARCs won’t stop at education. These centers will also be innovation hubs, fostering the creation of new devices and mechanisms designed to help people survive and thrive in a changing world. I have a few invention ideas myself that could prove useful in the near future, and I know many others share the same drive to create adaptive technologies.
Another essential function of ARCs will be serving as a resource hub for Climate Refugees, offering guidance, assistance, and—when possible—temporary housing to help displaced individuals regain stability. As climate disasters intensify, millions will be forced to migrate, and support networks will be crucial for their survival.
I firmly believe that Adaptive Resiliency Centers, paired with a Financial Support Program for those struggling, will be initiatives worth replicating worldwide. However, this vision requires a strong foundation, which is why I have created an online community—Climate Change Community and its child-site, Climate Tribe (climatetribe.com)—to rally people behind these efforts.
To be as transparent as possible, I recognize that one of the biggest challenges will be finding a location where a large portion of the public genuinely acknowledges and understands Climate Change. Through research, I have identified several promising locations: France, Canada (where an entire town is excelling at climate education), California, Denmark, Costa Rica, and a few others. The ideal ARC location will be the closest feasible option, as relocating will be necessary to ensure its success.
Of course, all of this hinges on the growth of Climate Tribe and Climate Change Community. If membership doesn’t expand, the realization of these projects may not be immediate. However, that won’t stop me from sharing my ideas. Even if I am unable to personally bring these projects to life, I will lay the groundwork so that others in the future can take up the mantle. My role is not just to build but to inspire—to ensure that these concepts are explored, refined, and eventually realized by those who see their necessity.
That is where my blog platforms and my freshly updated YouTube Channel come in. These will serve as living archives of my ideas, a space to document and discuss these initiatives. Whether or not they come to fruition in the immediate future, I believe that as conditions worsen, people will revisit these concepts with renewed urgency. The seeds I plant today may very well grow into the solutions of tomorrow.
This is where I stand. This is where I’m going. And I invite others to walk this path with me.
