#InvestInOurPlanet
One look at McGregor’s campus illustrates the importance of trees, flowers and greenery–the perfect place to take a long walk and enjoy nature, where we appreciate the green that surrounds us!
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates
This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, our livelihoods… together, we must Invest In Our Planet.
Because a green future is a prosperous future. As individuals, we have the simple yet effective power to make our voices heard through our choices, our civic actions, and our personal interactions. What each of us does, and how we do it, has a huge ripple effect on our ecosystems, and on the pace of corporate and government action.
A century old tree believed to have been planted by Moses Cleveland still exisits today on McGregor’s 45-acre historic campus.
Gen Z is providing inspiration, with 45% having stopped purchasing certain brands because of ethical or sustainability concerns. We have the power to lobby for and support businesses that take active steps to protect our environment through their practices and climate-friendly investments, and fight against those that don’t. We need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.
And while there is still time to solve the climate crisis, time to choose BOTH a prosperous and sustainable future, and time to restore nature and build a healthy planet for our children and their children, time is short.
“There’s a way to do it better — find it.” – Thomas Edison
