Environmentalism and Following One’s Heart
Had Steve Jobs survived cancer, he would have celebrated his 59th birthday today. In addition to his other merits, Jobs led a very philosophic life; he once observed, “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
I’m reminded of one of my heroes in the “green” movement, Paul Hawken (pictured), who said, “Environmentalism isn’t a way to get rich. It’s a way to be rich.” I hope you’ll check out the video linked below, in which he points out that there are over 200,000 groups on Earth whose purpose is environmental and social justice. It’s a huge amount of horsepower.
