We come to this planet that we believe is full and never-ending. We misuse it and all its bounty to entertain, feed, cloth, and house ourselves. We have made a disposable society. In that, we don’t make things to last because then we won’t buy the next best thing. 

This was not always the case. We made things to last. We didn’t just through away something we would re-purpose items till it was to the point of no return. We created things that were organic so it wouldn’t poison ourselves or the planet. We replanted trees for what we would take. We created conservation spaces and preserved lands into great parks.

So the question is what will be left for our children? We have resources that will run out within our lifetime. Ones that we use every day now. They need to be taught how to do things that our ancestors knew. We need to be making things that last and can be repaired or reused in some fashion. We need to be kinder to each other and the earth. Recycling is going to be much larger in the long run. We will need to begin to mine our garbage for the resources that are lacking. We will discover new ways to create things that will be helpful.

How will you help our legacy for our children? Will you be someone who can help create a better future? What will your legacy be?
