Youth have the potential to be the trail makers of a cleaner and safer environment because today, so many are ambitious and willing to take that leap. These past years I have been able to meet and develop friendships with many people through the projects offered here in our community. Many of these are young and inspiring individuals. The inspiration you see in their eyes and the commitment they strive for when it come to a cause as this, is overwhelming. Our youth can be environmental stewards by motivating their peers and families to make the best choices there are when it comes to protection of our resources. It starts with my younger brothers and sisters who show interest in learning about how our earth lives every day. Showing them that we all benefit; sometimes too much, from our earth.
