If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

We thought that the world was an endless supply of whatever we wanted… I know it sounds hard to believe, but that is the way it was.

My goal was to help you grow into better citizens of our planet; to help you care about our natural world and to make everyday choices that reflect concern for our beautiful earth and our own health as well as encourage you to work together to make changes in our community.

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.

I don’t regret my past ventures, nor do I believe I will regret my future ventures, but I’ve learned that I’ve needed to manifest these experiences into actions of sustainable development and conservation and protection of our environment.

If there is any advice I could give you, it is to believe that although you are one single person in this world, you still have the ability to make a difference in this world.

We, in our time, still have the chance to change course. We have the knowledge and emergent means, even the profitable technologies, to do so.

I commit to you to change one thing a year in our lifestyle to live more environmentally friendly.

The first step would be in overcoming ourselves. Because whether we end up fading into obscurity, or thriving in prosperity, we will overcome ourselves.
