Just learned about this life well lived. Here a bit about a great older article about Nancy W. Ignatius. What a legacy.

I came across a tweet today from the family of Nancy Ignatius's recent passing. Seeing some of the comments on the retweets I was curious and had to look her up. I learned that Nancy truly was an amazing woman and lead a very meaningful life. From American University Washington D.C. article from October 9, 2017 By Kaitie Catania | October 9, 2017

From the article... "However, at 92 years old, the alumna has seen environmental consciousness take off during her lifetime and is partly responsible for the growth and momentum it knows today. More than 40 years ago, Ignatius was the co-founder of Concern, Inc., an organization established in 1970 that informed and empowered consumers, mostly female homemakers, to demand sustainable options for everyday goods."People weren't talking about the environment then, but it was something that I was beginning to worry about. My friend, Cynthia Helms, and I talked about it and wondered, 'Who's going to take care of it?' We both looked at each other and said, 'Why don't we?'"A MIND FOR SERVICEThe success and growing staff at Concern, Inc. enabled Ignatius to pivot her focus from volunteering at the organization to a more formal and paid position in the government. At the Department of Energy, Ignatius was tasked with delving deep into alternative sources of energy. She launched the first solar energy exhibit in 1976 on a section of the National Mall at a time when conversations about the potential of solar energy were hardly beginning. Later, Ignatius worked for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before being one of the many EPA employees terminated during the Reagan administration.
"It was frustrating," she admits. "I thought, 'If these are good ideas, why does it matter if someone has a different political ideology? They should have agreed on the things we were doing.'"  In my opinion, Nancy lead an amazing life. RIP
