The message

I suppose we're part of nature, too and deserve our own habitat
therefore. But what seems to me to be important is to teach children how
to live *with*
what is around them rather than in spite of it. As top of the food chain
I think it rather depends on us to do that.

True, whilst I know we can't go back to the kind of life lived by the
native americans had [still have in some places I think] I wish we could
follow the love/care and understanding of the earth that they had. I
still fully appreciate all the modern 'luxuries' like bathrooms,
dishwashers, cars etc,etc. It would be hard to give them up even if
sometimes I would love to be able to live a simpler life.

There was a nice Native American proverb quoted on the Live Earth concert:

'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our
children.'

I like that *very* much.
