Sorry to all the schools and organizations that asked for a presentation about the 3 Finger Sustainability Symbol… something very important that may help nudge the tipping point to Sustainable Thinking has arrived.
...and the Rethos.com community is the FIRST to hear about it!
I’m off to Nepal to help with the EcoEverest expedition -
if you are interested in participating, enjoying an amazing adventure, and helping bring a “three finger focus” to this area of the planet where climate change and global warming are having a measurable and devastating effect RIGHT NOW… please send me a message explaining how you would like to contribute to the expedition / adventure, and ask to be invited or included in some capacity as a member of the McMaster Institute for Sustainable Commerce www.rethos.com/McMasterInstitute – (Hint: You must have shared the 3 Finger Sustainability Symbol with 3 other people, and have 3 posted photos to be eligible)
We’re looking for adventurous representatives from countries around the world, who, following their own experiences and observations in Nepal, will bring a message back to their countires of how URGENT attitude modification is needed, and how we can EACH make a difference through “Attitude from Altitude”... and QUICKLY spread and apply the concepts behind the three finger Sustainability Symbol around the planet.
The series of EcoEverest Expeditions in 2008 will include education expeditions, entrepreneurship expeditions, cross-cultural exchange expeditions with each (2 week to 3 month duration) expedition incorporating a variety of opportunities to help the people of Nepal, and by extension – the Planet.
Not all the Expeditions are to the Everest region. There are 3,000 glaciers in Nepal. There are jungles, rivers, and almost every climate and altitude that exists elsewhere on Earth. The EcoEverest Expeditions will explore, monitor, aid, assist, illustrate, challenge, compromise, reveal, strengthen and build alongside fellow citizens of the Earth.
The EcoEverest Expeditions will involve mountain clean-ups, animal rescues, planting trees, opportunities for teaching experiences and sustainable business and eco-trade opportunities (triple bottom line – Society, Environment, Economy).
I hope some of you will consider joining me and celebrated mountaineers, adventurers and NGO’s for these expeditions in Nepal, or if you don’t have the time, money or self-confidence, at least do what you can to assist in the development of this critical adventure from behind your computers around the world.
Finally, if you know someone who you think has the right Attitude and deserves to participate in this adventure, please encourage them to join rethos.com , contribute to the community, and give them a chance to be chosen for the EcoEverest Expedition 2008, or ask to be on the waiting list for 2009.
