“It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honour nature’s gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.” Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States.

As a society we must look to teach our children the core values of respect and honesty, not only towards each other, but towards all which surrounds us.  When children are given such values, then they can truly be the preservers of peace and nature.  The future may not always be ours to enjoy and revile in, but we are the caretakers of the future.
