It is heading rapidly into the holiday season.  I just returned from a Social Responsibility based business conference.  It was inspiring, concerning, reflective, fearful, emotions spanning from “woohoo” to “ we are screwed”.  One of the highlights of the conference was a presentation by a retired Marine Colonel.  It was amazing – he was amazing and he brought up a question:  when did we stop being citizens of this nation and just started being residents?  There is a big difference – and I hope everyone looks up the definition and decides which one they are.  I am a Citizen.  I haven’t always been.  There are times that I am more of a resident, but over the last decade or two, I have worked and focused on being a citizen.  I have used sustainability as my compass.  I hope you do the same.  Happy Holidays
