In a nutshell, what he said (as I<br />

interpreted it) is that maintaining and<br />

conserving our precious and precarious<br />

natural environment is a wise and noble<br />

investment.<br />

But if we are not educating and<br />

immersing our children and<br />

grandchildren in that same love of the<br />

environment, there will be no one to<br />

carry on that work or even to enjoy what<br />

has been left to them. That resonated<br />

with me on both an emotional level and<br />

in a practical way.<br />

And so we give in the belief that young<br />

people should have a chance to get<br />

outside, to put down their electronics, to<br />

connect with the actual place where<br />

they live. Their lives will be better for it<br />

today. And North Carolina will be better<br />

for it tomorrow.<br />

and grandchildren in that same love of the<br />

environment, there will be no one to carry on that<br />

work or even to enjoy what has been left to them."
