Hi. Although my current life situation (three kids, school and work), doesn't allow me to make a difference in greater ways I would like, I try to do what I can on a smaller scale like: 1) At home we all watch animal planet and I am always educating the kids and others about how important it is to understand the connection between us and the environment. 2) I encourage respect for nature and its delicate balance. 3) I discourage wasting or using water, light, gas, food, etc. inappropriately. 4) I support the love of animals and conservation. 5) I push toward good nutrition. 6) I also teach the children to appreciate and not take for granted, nature's gifts. I've understood since I was a child that everything in the world had its purpose and how eliminating one thing for another, could cause damage to the earth's natural state. We are connected and can be headed for doom, if we don't learn how important every creature, animal and other life forms are to our overall survival. I have always wanted to do more or make more of a difference...tell me how?
