“..the endlessly repeated message that nature is dead or dying just encourages people to step back from the natural world, the way someone distances themselves from a friend with a terminal disease.” Richard Conniff
Why would the children of today want to get to know nature? We show them pictures of environmental destruction and remind them regularly of all the species threatened with extinction. We send them a message that nature is polluted and on her way out.
They have been told their whole life that the environment is being destroyed, so why would they think otherwise? Why would they think that they can change that?
Instead, let’s remind our children of how beautiful, magical, and powerful nature is. Let’s show them why nature is worth saving and let’s tell them that they have the power to save her.
