Good afternoon Commissioners and Staff,



I send prayers for your health and safety. The COVID-19 crisis

has brought unprecedented changes to our world, including much

fear and uncertainty. However, every crisis presents an

opportunity to re-examine how we as a society got here, where

we are now, and where we want to go in the future. The

opportunity is there if we are willing to slow down and question

our habits and beliefs.



Our dominant economic system is built upon the false premise of

satisfying materialistic desires, including travel, while neglecting

the development of inner peace. Even in the midst of the present

crisis and social distancing, people are realizing that we can still

safely connect in community and find contentment, and the Earth

has started to heal from the burning of fossil fuels. Please think

about that in relation to the T46 project.



We now know without any shadow of doubt, that that packing

thousands of people onto a cruise ship for weeks at a time offer

ideal conditions for a virus to multiply and spread globally once all

those people return home.



Yesterday, the CDC reported that the Diamond Princess cruise

ship harbored traces of the live virus for 17 days after passengers

had left. This ship alone had 700 confirmed cases. I urge you for

the safety of the citizens of greater Seattle, coastal communities

in Alaska, and the world, please follow Canada’s example and

immediately cancel the cruise ship season through July 1. Your

website and official statements still do not make clear that cruises

out of Seattle are closed beyond April 5.



Please do not cater to the greed and disregard for life that the

Trump administration displays in seeking an exception to the

Passenger Vessel Act. Please do not play games with this deadly

virus.



Sincerely,



Jordan Van Voast, L.Ac.
