"We are all part of nature. Taking care of our planet is like taking care of ourselves. We need the Earth's resources to live, so let's work together to make our planet better. A healthy Earth benefits everyone in our community. Working with Preferred by Nature allows me to learn about global environmental management measures and standards that can be applied locally. Our goal is for these measures to serve as strategic tools that guide us in improving the quality of life for people at the local level."
