Seven generation sustainability (#Transgeneration #Altruism)
“#SevenGeneration stewardship is a concept that urges the current generation of humans to live and work for the benefit of the seventh generation into the future.
It is believed to have originated with the #Iroquois – Great Law of the Iroquois – which holds appropriate to think seven generations ahead and decide whether the decisions they make today would benefit their descendants.
It is frequently associated with the modern, popular concept of environmental stewardship or 'sustainability' but it is much broader in context.”

![Text Shot: Principle
In reaction to consumerism, another interpretation[citation needed] that stresses stewardship owed to generations past and future sometimes arises in popular culture and discourse. Rather than pointing to seven generations counted from one's own and looking toward the future, there is an awareness of a legacy to honor or a debt to bear in mind to those three generations before one's own, as well as an awareness of one's own legacy bequeathed to the three generations to follow one's own. By reckoning 25 years per generation, the span of lifetimes stretches 75 years before one's birth and 75 years beyond one's death.[citation needed]
A variation on the seven generation thinking where self is placed at the center is to expand the span of years that touches one's own lifetime.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/112/304/456/255/583/189/original/afa54714693c8142.png)
