A Message from John Replogle, Seventh Generation CEO
Dear Friends and Stakeholders,
When I was born in the 1960s, our world was much both much smaller and much larger than it is today. Back then, life for most unfolded in self-contained communities whose borders were seldom crossed and whose rhythms were rarely disrupted by events beyond. Indeed, the world outside was often distant and remote, a frequently mysterious but always expansive place with plenty of room for Earth's three and a half billion lives, most of which never touched our own.
Today, this paradigm has been turned on its head. Our communities now are outsized and hyper-driven. They sprawl past each other's boundaries on a rapidly shrinking planet struggling to contain what soon will be an extraordinary nine billion human beings, all of whom are fast becoming interconnected to the point of interdependence.
