Children are an inspiration and if they keep in touch with their core abilities and ideas, they will, one day, become adults overflowing with spectacular solutions; true innovators.
As Elon Musk said, “it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.”
...
The motivation for being extraordinary tends to come mostly from our early years. That’s why 3Rs and Beyond created a program series called Connect to Help Protect, a program with the goal to assist reestablishing the connection between individuals and the natural world to help them better understand the impact that their actions have on the environment and on lives.
The series engages participants and facilitates their transition to become agents of change. We hope to reach as many individuals as possible in our community and would like to hear from you if you are interested in partnering with us in this endeavor.
Investing in programs like Connect to Help Protect is investing in our future because, as cliché as it may sound, kids are the future and if we listen to their insights, we can learn a lot and open up doors to solutions we couldn’t even imagine possible.
Earth Day is April 22. Let’s not only celebrate the day Senator Gaylord Nelson placed environmental protection onto the national political agenda back in 1970; let’s start talking about ideas and dare to give them a chance to become future options for a better Earth.
Happy Earth Day!
