"Teaching
Nature Awareness and Stewardship"
"Our
ideals, laws and customs should be based on the proposition
that each generation, in turn, becomes the custodian rather than
the absolute owner of our resources and each generation has the
obligation to pass this inheritance on to the future."
--
Charles A. Lindbergh

Benefits to Your
Neighborhood,
Community, State
and Country:
- Individuals,
business and governmental entities will experience reduced expenses
related to maintaining resources.
- Private
and
public buildings, sidewalks, parks, etc. will be more inviting.
- The
enhanced condition of resources
will encourage those who use them to be better stewards instead of
feeling there is nothing to lose from further damage.
The
underlying principle is that neglect invites neglect. The general
public does not realize the potential impact on natural resources by
millions of well meaning recreationists. It is very difficult to
encourage adults to attend venues where they can learn important skills
to protect the environment. ROAR will focus on young people who are
easier to reach through current youth venues and are more easily
influenced. They will learn that as an individual they can make a
difference by adopting proper ethics that will lead them in their
actions. |
