“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

An American Indian proverb reminds us that we cannot eat money but we will have nothing left after the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught and the last river is poisoned.
Travel to help nature. Be a part of efforts of different communities as they try to protect nature, wildlife and other resources. Our natural resources are more precious than gold and it is imperative that we listen when nature speaks. Nature is screaming at us now. Can you hear?
