ReplyDeleteOur hopes are in our children. To be able to leave them some legacy of Mother Nature and the environment, we need to instill in them the important task we have on hand. Raising their awareness about environmental issues and their impact on global warming will help them to understand the urgency and need to act now. This is a very worthwhile project!!
