We Believe That

We are all teachers of the earth. In the classroom, in the art and music studios, in the streets and at home, we are teaching each other by the power of example. Let us use our power to inspire each other and our children towards environmental leadership.

“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.”
-Rachel Carson
