Sentiments include: We don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. Pardon the weeds; we're feeding the bees. Leave nothing but footprints; kill nothing but time. Live gently on the Earth. Never underestimate the difference you make. The Earth has music for those who listen. All good things are wild and free. Take care of the Earth, and she will take care of you. Between two pines is a doorway to a new world. The world is full of magic.
