The Seventh Generation Principle

The Seventh Generation Principle encourages making decisions that consider the impact on the seventh future generation—roughly 150-200 years from now. It urges individuals and organizations to act responsibly today so that future generations have access to clean environment, healthy communities, and sustainable resources. This perspective promotes long-term thinking over short-term gains, emphasizing ethical stewardship and proactive measures to ensure that our actions do not compromise the well-being of those who come after us. It’s about fostering sustainability and accountability across generations to create a balanced, resilient world.
