Sometimes I will sit looking out into the field in front of the house and think of how my son will see the earth when he is my age. Will he see clean country air? The backside of a brick building? Open fields with clean water streams? Or maybe he will see peace and tranquility?

My husband and I have 1 child now, and I already think of what I can do to pass along a strong and vibrant legacy to our son. We have the R.E.S.P for him, we try to give nutrients that are healthy to him, and we constantly emerse him in things outside of "our" circle. But what else can we do to ensure our son and any other children we may be blessed with, the guarantee of a healthy home?

Thoughts swim in my mind, flowing into a pool of ideas. We will simply do our best to provide him the tools he will need for his adulthood. We will do what we can to clean our mess up so he won't have to. We will try to convince others how important it is to give our children a healthy and prosperous world.

It is not our world that we are passing down to our children, But our childrens world that we are simply borrowing
