SUMMER OF A LIFETIME

Why I Teach Love of nature and kids Connection between understanding and care of environment

Why I Teach “”””Fierce urgency of now” We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.” “”””Fierce urgency of now”
