Seventh Generation

Life is in a constant state of change whether we like it or not. Who I was last year – even last month – is not who I need to be tomorrow. This is true of everyone who is comitted to their own personal growth and development. If you are running a business or organization of any type it’s something that you simply must keep in mind. If your business is growing like ours it's critical. Here are my most recent reflections, my thoughts on where I need to be next. I share it in the hopes that in some way it might help move you to your next stage of being.

It’s the end of a great week. We had dinner Wednesday night with the Treehugger team who joined about 9 folks from Seventh Generation at my home for a meal made from ingredients that come from within 100 miles of our home in Charlotte, Vermont on Lake Champlain. We had a great discussion on the state of, fate of, and what’s needed to create a more effective sustainability movement. We then spent yesterday taking a wonderful journey up to Glover, Vermont to visit the Bread & Pupet Museum, an amazing creative and activist inspiration. More on all that later.

For now I just wanted to salute Grist for launching a much needed series that focuses on Poverty & the Environment here in the the USA. It's a subject that get’s far too little attention. Check it out.

Graham Hill, Nick Aster and Megan O'Neill from TreeHugger.com came to Burlington to meet with Seventh Geners to talk about making the world a better place and how we could collaborate...here is our first night discussions and our first V-log.

If you were able to join us on Saturday, please leave us a comment and let us know what you thought!
