Summer Vacations that Create a Green Tomorrow
Can a summer vacation help create a sutainable future? YES! Sustainability begins with a concern for the wild places in the world and summer vacation is an excellent place to instill love of the outdoors. A few months ago, I was privledge to attend the Student Conservation Association’s Earth Vision Summit. I know the young folks walked away inspried and ready for action; but I learned a few things too.
There are 391 National Park areas comprising over 84 MILLION acres in the U.S. A meaningful summer vacation is closer than you think! Our National Parks are your tax dollars at work. If you want your kids to experience the wilderness, explore it, be amazed by it, develop a sense of stewardship and a passion to protect it, you might be surprised by all the ways our National Parks can help make that happen!
For example, do you know about the Passport?
