32. Sure...in the big picture, it is time for parents to get really serious..
for the sake of the children. I agree! But the birds and sea life needs help now. It seems you are saying that because the problem is so big, we should see only things we can do for the big problem...and that doing any little thing we can do to help now is somehow ignoring the big picture. This is not true. You do what you can do for the big problem...AND you do what you can now to help the birds and sea animals in immediate danger. It is not a matter of doing one or the other. This schools program will have both an impact now on the children and their awareness, but it also has a really strong possibility of their views about the environment in the future. You do what you can do...even if it sometimes futile..everything one does to help is important. Every small measure of help and the act of caring is whatever measure is important.
