My 5

BPGL: What are the five most important things we can do to save protect the planet?

McKINNEY:

1) Use facts, not fear, to educate.

2) Listen intently to the younger generation.

3) Know that saving the planet also means saving money.

4) Move the residential greening of America beyond the “national anthem stage” (as opposed to the 1^st or 5^th inning).

5) Continue to incentivise entrepreneurial minds that have a self-sustaining favor through the rewards of capitalism and free enterprise.

2 Minutes with the President

If you had two minutes with President Obama, what would you say to him?

Business: Re-read the Constitution as if you were reading it for the first time, and never remove free market incentive.

Philanthropy: Never forget Haiti, and allow me to share my practices, applications that worked in Haiti for 7 years prior to our hearts breaking on January 12.
