Where is your trail taking you? (Mt. Elinor, Wa, USA)

Environmental Stewardship, or Future Planning

"Sustainability is the capacity to endure."

Stewardship is a concept of resource management and forward planning. A complete, encompassing responsibility wherein one must meet and anticipate the needs and demands of one's titular holdings. Sustainable environmental stewardship is a challenging goal; certainly, too great a task to undertake solely. It is an activity where everyone is a suitable participant. Available to individuals of all ages and abilities. Encouraging natural diversity requires the talents of many varied individuals to ensure success.  The guidelines are simple: Be a conscious and respectful participant in life.  Environmental stewardship is an idea that transcends creed with a unanimous interest in the well-being of future-earth, as well as, the inhabitants of future-earth. Small choices manifest substantial changes over the course of a lifetime. Actively pursuing environmental quality readily lends itself to a rewarding, satisfying life. 

Suggested Activities:
    
Know where you live- Hike, bike, walk, birdwatch, Beach comb, snorkel, dive, swim, kayak. Find an enjoyable way to experience where you live and go all out. 

Meet your neighbours- find different insects, animals and plants that inhabit your area. Bonus points if you learn their names. 

Get educated- Take a guided hike, visit a zoo or an aquarium, volunteer. When did dinosaurs last live here or was there miles of ice over where your house rests today? 

Share the wealth- Find a friend, take the kids/parents out, talk to a stranger. 

And above all else, this is the only present you have and now is the time for fun!
