If our citizens are ever to be effective stewards of our environment, acting responsibly needs to be modeled and taught at home, and reinforced by the school and the rest of the community. We must also get our students out of the classroom and into the field as often as possible, and find activities and teaching strategies that will connect students to the world around them. We need to develop a population with a strong environmental sense of stewardship. To do this, each of us must reconnect with our natural environment. Now that the old folks are gone, we must become the “grannies” to the next generation.
