Seven believes in a future where humans and the earth are thriving together, where humans are a net positive, “regenerative” force for our planet and humanity.
Consider ecommerce packaging. We imagine a day when all packaging is made from either recycled existing material or from regenerative resources (like plants) whose production actually strengthens soils, waterways, habitats, air quality, and local communities. Every single piece of packaging can be and is recycled, so no materials and resources are wasted and no packaging ends up as litter and in oceans. All of the energy fueling the manufacturing and distribution of this packaging is from renewable energy. Exciting, right? Now imagine this type of thinking applied to every single aspect of life. This is the world we aspire to.
We aren’t there yet, of course. We actually have a long way to go. Today, climate change, pollution, ocean and habitat destruction are looming and dire, and are the direct result of human actions. Even the most environmentally progressive businesses and citizens today are primarily focused on reducing the negative, and not necessarily aiming for positive ecological and humanitarian impact.
We believe our vision for the future can become a reality as more individuals, businesses, and communities move away from a disposable culture towards one in which people are making holistic, thoughtful decisions. Decisions that are rooted in respect for the human and natural resources that go into how something is created, how something is used, and where something ends up after its initial use.
A culture rooted in conscious decision making will give way to improved creation and usage of raw materials, to balanced carbon emissions, to enriched lands, habitats and oceans, to groundbreaking eco-minded innovations, and, ultimately, to a world where climate change and pollution has truly been reversed. We believe this way of life also makes sense for humanity as it leads to more mindful, appreciative people and connected communities.
