Stewardship--The Solution for What Ails Ye
Wednesday, 07 May 2008 00:00
Many people learn best by first-hand experience. What better way to educate our selves than to continue to ask the hard questions and find good solutions? What better way to educate a new generation than to prompt them to propose their own solutions and then listen to their ideas and help them bring them to reality? Genius never occurred in a vacuum. Our future is in their hands and better those hands are used to being dirty from doing good work. We can’t guarantee a CCC will sweep in tomorrow and fix all our region’s problems. We can act as good parents, good teachers, good neighbors and custodians of the earth and plan to tend to it ourselves. Community stewardship is a sustainable solution for a variety of social and ecological ailments.
