"No matter how far you journey,
you are always on home ground
on Mother Earth.
And for her hospitality,
She demands so little.
That wherever we travel,
we respect her landscapes,
conserve her resources,
value her local traditions.
It is only if we travel this way
that we can gift our children
the same green, generous planet
to explore." |
