My favorite quote from President Johnson and the environment

[Victor]

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt
we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must
leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after
we got through with it.


Pres. Lyndon Johnson, 1964

A wonderful statement I believe in. It is still true.

 

[Warrigal]

My father taught me the same lesson when as children he took us walking in the bush and told us that this was our heritage, to be looked after so that we could hand it on to future generations.

He also urged us to leave any place we visited in better shape than we found it and we would clear up other people's rubbish to drive the point home.

Pres. Lyndon Johnson, 1964

A wonderful statement I believe in. It is still true.

It certainly is a wonderful statement, more relevant now than ever.
