Most young people want to get out of the environment they grow up in, move on, and do something. The big question for everyone is what they want to do and how. It's something that most young people feel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a generation now that didn't grow up in nature. Some of these adults are parents and they know that nature is good for their kids but they don't know where to start.
Young people can change and grow. Every parent knows that.
Living life at a young age is like being a sponge thrust into the ocean. You absorb what's around you. If you're around people who are supportive and positive, that's how you look at the world.
Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.
I've been blessed to spend time with young people and help encourage an environment where it's comfortable for them to be who they are. That's precious for children.
All teenagers have this desire to somehow run away.
As parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts we need to start getting out into nature with the young people in our lives. Families play a key role in getting kids outside.
I encourage everyone to become their dream. Most young people get sidetracked and never end up doing what they really set out to do.
We want to use the environment to shift the way our society works.
So many young people are coming out of a generation that has experienced deep woundedness and brokenness, and they are full of life. They are eager to engage. They care about community, and they care about one another.
