7th Gen Blog

Duke (the Chief Trim Tab Officer at Seventh Gen) and I spent 3 days in the SoL Executive Champions Workshop at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont. There were 20 exec types from all walks of life delving into the idea of creating (presencing) pragmatic global change...Peter Senge and Otto Scharmer authors of the book Presence led the workshop.

On the road - we visited EchoDitto our blog behind the screeners...
they were all moving into another world and we captured a moment of Nicco, forever...

Once there was a man who loved water – oceans, rivers, lakes – he loved them all, and there was a particular pond of water that he loved more than any other. There were beautiful birch trees around it and so many birds, butterflies and dragonflies. He had discovered a secret path leading to this pond, and began stopping nearly every day on his way home from work. He always felt very peaceful, and his mind could quiet in this place after a hectic day at work.

Greenpeace is one of the best known environmental groups in America, and even better known around the world. They fall roughly left of center in the spectrum of environmental organizations, right about where I do. They combine careful and thoughtfully researched work with bold actions that capture our imagination and spirit.

At 35, they haven’t entirely lost their adolescence but are at the same time a fully responsible adult. They are led by a real visionary, John Passacantando, who believes in the same possibilities I do, and is willing to do what ever it takes the make the world a just and sustainable place for generations to come. Just the kind of guy I like to hang out with.
