Blue Snow Garden

Theodore Roosevolt, was known more than just the ex-President of the United States.. he was a true naturalist and have always been seen as an epitome of protection of the great wilderness. Let’s all be reminded again by his wisdom:

There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased; and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as it does protection.

Do everyone of us have the passion within to save mother nature? Why are our children nowadays lacking of such vigor? How can we revive those moments we had with nature that gave us the so true and pure satisfaction? Are we too late to find back the meaning of our existence with mother nature?

There’s an easy way to count or calculate your ecological footprint online… with the help of WWF’s Ecological Footprint Calculator.

See how much damage I am doing in one year:

I'm a bad person!

See who else might beat you in this competition:

Oh, so I'm not a European but I live like one?

And what’s the real sustainable standard:

Yikes! I'm far behind Mother Nature's sustainable standards!

And after a few pledges (like not using air-conditioner in the car, closing the lids while cooking, etc), I would be saving…

I am saving my planet!

Cool! But we all have a long way to go to be truly responsible to our planet….

There’s another version of the ecological footprint calculator at http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/
