I spent 33 years as a classroom teacher. I am now retired. During those years I took every opportunity to teach the children in my classes that ALL life is precious and that we must save the environment. I do not have children of my own but I worry about all of them. I worry that they will grow up in a world that is not as "rich" with life as the one that I grew up in. We must do everything we can to deliver a world that is better to the next generation and beyond.
