Cecil Denney 9/29/2016 10:08 AMParticipation in the Eco Challenge is related to my view of my legacy. I will have a relatively small tenure on this planet. I will consume and utilize quite a bit of its resources, some not renewable. How will I leave it? Will it be better off or worse off. The Eco Challenge is one to focus me more on the ways I can become a source of "betterment" rather than a sink of "worseness".-
Alex Mihm 10/03/2016 9:29 PMI love that you mention legacy, Cecil. A great question that all of us ask ourselves t some point is, what kind of ancestor do I want to be? Ancestor here can be defined as narrowly as someone who comes before descendants with whom we share a bloodline or a name, or it can be as broad as to include our connection to all people who come after us, or even to all species that come after us.
It's a question I come back to every now and then, and the answers that bubble up inevitably renew my focus on finding new things to learn, new things I can do better, and the simple joys that I should never take for granted. I am reminded of why I became so passionate about sustainability, and I know I always will be. Defining our own legacies by how we help others, even those we will never know, is a wonderful way to frame our actions.
Anyway, welcome to the team!
