Time spent in nature decreases stress and anxiety and improves focus for adults as well as children.

I see that one part of the education of women is health education. We know that women who are educated have much healthier families.

If you take the burden of health care, of diseases off the backs of some other countries, it gives them a chance to use their own very limited resources in ways that help their people. And also there's a hopelessness associated with deadly diseases, that if that can be alleviated, people can build their own economies in their own countries and they'll be less reliant on the developed world for help.

When you reach out to others in need, when you reach out to the world, you really do have a satisfying life by helping others.

We all, parents, educators, community leaders, and every... citizen, need to come together to find new ways to engage children with the natural environment.

Giving homeless children the chance to be educated, giving them this ticket to their futures, is so wonderful. They will have the chance to not repeat the suffering of their childhoods in their own families. They can build secure and safe lives for themselves and their children.

I've always loved children. When I was working with children as a librarian, I loved being with them and working around them.
