I love climbing tree limbs and ladders.

I love curves, lines and textures.

There is something reassuring about light on metal...

and the reality that even with three inches of insulation, some heat gets lost.

It's hard to believe
that there are imperfections
with these perfect symmetries and designs.
But there are. Energy can not be created nor destroyed,
but it can be transferred between objects,
creating inefficiencies
​along the way.

That is
​just the reality of
how things work and why, even
with a relatively upgraded heating system, this vent
on the north side of our living room
doesn't provide much
​heat.

Isn't it beautiful
to see the unseen, to honor
what is functional and elegant? That's
what climate action at home
is all about for me.
​What about
​you?
