Mission and Values That Define My Business
Vision
I believe we can build a world that serves all humanity.
Such a world would be environmentally sustainable, socially just, and emotionally rewarding for all.
Direction
Mission: Inspire respect for Nature.
A connection with Nature leads to compassion for life. In turn, this drives choices that benefit all humanity. People would, for example, conserve resources, avoid pollution, and create sustainable systems.
Purpose: Encourage people to build a sustainable future for humanity.
Our future depends upon having a global society based upon sustainable systems.
This matters because there is no alternative if we want to survive.
Strategy: Take photos that show the extraordinary beauty in Nature.
I hope that when people see my photos, they will feel the same connection with life that I feel when I’m outside.
Process: Use these photos in presentations, blogs, and articles.
