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.

Getting individuals such as yourself, motivated to break out of this (cracking) concrete mold of belief systems is urgent; therefore, I am most delighted to see the confidence, patience, perseverance, dedication and creativity beginning to seep through the ancient rituals of “how things work/are done” and the willingness to be in the forefront of such challenging and risky ventures.
It is an old adage and proves itself by remaining viable ever: Everyone wants things to be different…but no one wants anything to change in the process. And you are young enough, with health and a good vision for the future, to make a difference wherever you go sharing the principles of the “three finger Sustainability Symbol.” I think this is terrific!
Also, I see in one of your comments on what you call “the triple bottom line – Society, Environment, Economy” some PR availability (you see, I am, with all my IDEALS, a realist and know that hearts and minds have to be won with catchy phrases and sound bites, etc.) What I’m referring to is the SOCIETY, ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, or “SEE”. I mean SEE does seem to me, at least, to capture the essence of what your mission is about.
I have an abundance of the Adventurous Spirit, just too low on a physical scale to be able to go dashing off to Nepal or Africa—and, OH, how I wish I could! It is mine to connect, inform, distill the basic specific visionary goals and forge a nexus of committed,
energetic, revolutionary thinkers willing to walk on that high wire in Hurricane winds.
There is nothing so powerful as an Idea whose time has come. I want to believe that time is now, and however I may, fuse some of my own energy, enthusiasm and Vision of Soul to the movement of creating a planet that works for everyone.
I’ve seemed out of line for so long (in my attitudes regarding the world, politics, economics, humanity) that it is only now that I am realizing that I was (my inner vision) moving at the speed of Light.
I wasn’t a part of the multitude screaming for more and better for themselves…I had transcended that small equation and spent my solitary walks in a world where no one was ever turned away from the very best that science, education, technology or humanity could provide.
Now that my thinking has been critically mined and sorted, I am, by right of my birth, seeking to decipher the signals, encryptions, and smoke screens being sent from every niche of this planet.
I shall look forward to hearing more from you and about your activities. The evolution of human beings continues - slowly, albeit - nevertheless, without those historical thinkers/inventors/composers/scientists/artists (for every one we hear about, there are thousands whose names are not internationally known but who were just as critical for the legendary to move the scale upward and onward).
EVERYONE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.




SEEDS for SEE!
