They have to go together. Whatever I can do to try to foster this new perception is what I want to do. And whether that's in other countries or in the U.S., it's one village, this globe, and I think we all need to be working together. A healthy environment is absolutely critical to healthy lifestyles for people, but people are often driven into misusing the environment because they have no other immediate options. I would like to help provide alternatives to those people who are forced into those situations.
Education can go a long way toward encouraging people to view the environment differently.
I see art in nature. There are many reasons to be concerned about the environment and one very important one is aesthetics. Quality of life is as important to them as it is to those of us in wealthy countries. So I'm very careful always to let people voice their ideas. They may be crazy but that's beside the point, especially at an early age.
