Excellent post! As part of their homeschooling, I Tried to teach my kids about conservationism. Being a Christian, page one of the Bible talks about God creating everything and turning it over to us to take care of. I taught them how to grow a garden, how to make natural fertilizer by composting. How to make natural insecticides. You made a good point about how modern society has gotten so far away from the "simple things in life." Family life used to be centered around the family all working together as a unit... Now, through the de-educational system and the rest of government interventions (forced vaccinations etc) kids grow up without a clue of where food comes from outside of a supermarket! I saw one woman protesting milk with a sign that read "Stop drinking milk because they kill cows to get it!"

Sorry, I didn't mean to get off on a rant here... Once again, great post, if this doesn't catch on, humanity will be lost!
