Why I Started Clean Edits
In early 2025, I edited a book by engineer Bill Bivins, CEO of One World Clean Energy, that profoundly impacted me. In NetZero City: Act Locally for Global Impact; A Bold Strategy for Ending Waste, Cutting Carbon, and Building Resilient Cities, Bivins lays out in granular detail the devastating impact of climate damage before proffering exciting, affordable initiatives to restore the healthy, harmonious planet that we inherited from our ancestors of centuries past. As a word guy, one thing I can do is to help raise awareness of climate change initiatives along with healthy living. I feel happier working with companies that are committed to this critically important cause.
​
I hope we can work together.

Sincerely,
​
David Aretha
