Happy Earth Day 55: Perpetual Sustainability Book

April 22, 2025 marks the 55th Earth Day. That’s 55 years since millions first took to the streets in 1970 to demand a cleaner, more just, and more sustainable future.

But this year, we don’t just mark the day—we recommit to the journey.

From Sustainability to Regeneration

Sustainability was the starting point. But sustaining broken systems is no longer enough. We need to regenerate—our ecosystems, our communities, and our approach to progress.

That’s the heart of my new book:
Perpetual Sustainability™: Leveraging Regenerative Dynamic AI (rdAI)

This book offers both strategic frameworks and powerful AI prompts to help individuals, nonprofits, and civic leaders plan smarter, act faster, and regenerate everything from energy use to community health.

Start Where You Are. Focus on What Matters.

You don’t need to be an expert—or fix the whole world. You simply need to:

  1. Identify the most important systems and factors as they relate to you
  2. Focus on the areas where your decisions have the most impact
  3. Act on what’s actionable within your home, organization, or community
  4. Use tools like Generative AI and rdAI to adapt and improve over time

Often, the best place to begin is with efficiencies: small, measurable changes that save time, money, and resources. These are not just sustainable—they’re smart.

What’s Inside the Book?

This book is part of the Perpetual Innovation™ series, which helps leaders, educators, and changemakers put sustainability into action with:

  • Self-assessments for individuals, organizations, and cities
  • STEM-based case studies on thermal expansion, emissions, plastic waste, etc.
  • Planning frameworks + GenAI prompts in every chapter
  • Topics on energy, soil, education, justice, innovation, and circular economy
  • A full academic/career pathway guide for future sustainability professionals

Whether you’re just starting out or deep into systems-level planning, this is a toolkit for continuous, regenerative progress.

Let’s make Earth Day 55 a launch point—not a ritual. Make everyday and Earth Day!

Because sustainability is a threshold. Regeneration is a direction.

Plan smarter. Act faster. Regenerate everything™.

    The BARD on Earth Day. Shakespeare in Love (with AI)

    I’ve been soliciting the sage advise and wise words of the BARD recently…  I got my new best buddy Bard (AI from Google) to help with two blogs: World Water Day 2023: Accelerating Change on March 22 and Earth Day 2023: Invest in our Planet on April 22.  But, William Shakespeare would be 459 years olde today (~23 April 1564 — 23 April 1616), so I wondered what “The Bard” would have to say?

    States Act Forcibly to Halt or Limit Patent Trolls

    The patent troll condition -as identified- is a relatively new phenomenon/hot spot in the IP world, perhaps one or two decades old.  To be sure, there were isolated cases of troll-like behavior as far back as the 1970s, but nothing like the scope, intensity and frequency of the past several years.  Today’s trolls not only find dormant patents also but buy up unused portfolios from companies not concerned with their IP or in need of…

    You may already have a backup generator for the house. In fact, you may have the backup generator with you just about everywhere you go. Plus, it might be totally quiet, for hours. Yep, we are talking about your hybrid gas-electric vehicle. Hybrids have been selling like crazy on the farms because they can easily be used to generate 120-volt electricity to run hand tools and generally provide backup power. Most newer vehicles offer a…

    Trump of Sustainability – Paul Bunyan tromps again!

    Sustainability efforts take a big hit with the Trump election to president. Some forces are bigger than he, however. Congress didn’t act on most things sustainable-ish, so much of the Obama efforts have been by executive order and by regulations. The EPA on coal, for example. The right way to regulate emissions in general — and fossil fuels specifically — is by a carbon tax (or cap n trade). With a carbon tax, then all…
