We started this website back in 1998, in the belief that Gandhi was right when he suggested that our lives are divided into thirds, the first for learning, the middle for earning, and the last for returning. In our minds and more importantly, in our hearts, we've come to realize that the three are interwoven and form a circle, taking us right back from returning to learning to earning in a never ending, unbroken chain. We decided that if we could go one step further and practise this connection, we might one day see equality in the world. If we could walk the path of 'making a difference WHILE making a dollar' the learning would come naturally. And in the last third of our lives, we would have some valuable lessons to share with the young, lessons about sharing and service in our personal and business lives. Lessons that some day won't need to be taught because they will be inherent.

We endorse the Earth Charter which begins as follows:

"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations."
