Every day we hear about climate change, over filled
landfills, deforestation, and hundreds of other issues. If you read the
news, the people are divided, and the we seem to be losing our battle to
protect our planet.
The
majority of our leaders, and voters, already have made up their minds.
The greed for money and power will always win, unless we can educate our
children, to love and cherish their world, today. It may be too late for
my generation, but my children show promise.
The
problems of today, can be corrected by enjoyably educating our leaders of
tomorrow.
We can
teach them to love life, by loving Nature, and the world around them. If
we make the message fun and unforgettable today, we will undoubtedly see the
marvelous results tomorrow.
All
four of my children have a love for Nature, and it has come from our tradition
of setting up camp for one to two weeks a year, in one or two of our National
Parks.
If you
were to ask them; "What is your favorite thing to do?"
They
would reply; "Go camping or go to Disneyland."
My
dream is to create a hybrid. Not by building a theme park inside a
National Park, but to open the mind of a young child enough for them to enjoy Nature, just
as my children do.
I want
children who have never been camping, to read this book, and start begging
their parents to take them. And if camping it is out of their budget, then
hopefully I have created the proper setting for them to feel as if they have already been.
Hopefully soon I will have a team of writers to help me on this project. I see the possibilities, and I fear that I alone will not perfectly accomplish this much needed task.
