What would you like future generations to know about this time in NH?

I would like to say to future generations to remind them to take the time to be mindful of the impact they (human inhabitants) have on mother nature and the environment. To take time to become knowledgable about, to teach our children, the importance of reducing our carbon footprint, reduce our use and consumption as it has a direct impact on the ecosystem. We are responsible for sustaining this earth and the inhabitants. Humans have the power to restore, to repair and evolve, they also have the power to destory. We are giving only one Earth, it is up to future generations to help maintain its integrity and extremely important to eliminate any further damage. I think we could take the devastating impact of COVID as an opportunity to remind us how precious life really is. We must practice compassion, patience and GRATITUDE for future generations to thrive.
