Have you considered what legacy you'd like to leave the world and future generations? World renowned ecological activist, Dr.Vandana Shiva, founded a movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living things. Her message is compelling: "How much life can we protect?" rather than how many species can we kill by pollution and global warming. She suggests we can make a choice: to nourish life or create more for the wealthy. Nourishing life forms doesn't necessarily make indivuals rich in economic terms. But, it makes them rich in biodiversity.
Dr. Shiva's goal is to create sustainable food systems so that all people on the globe can survive and thrive. Presently, 5 agribusinesses control the food of the world. Any one of us can become a detoxifying force to save the planet. "We are one earth," she says, "with inter-connections among all living things."
Is it a value for you to bring forth a world where we share resources and collaborate to do so? If you believe so, then you can investigate Dr Shiva's website to incorporate this urgent global need into your encore career.
I haven't thought of the legacy I want to leave my kids and the rest of the world, but because of your post it made me realize that I better start thinking about it. Nice article.
