Interconnectedness

Every creature on earth depends on another to survive.

This reliance extends to all aspects of an ecosystem and ultimately our planet.

Human beings have a tremendous responsibility for supporting the health

of the environment and the survival of all that exists.

We can feel good about doing our part and show we care.

Understanding the circle of life helps us recognize our connection with others.

As with the animals in a jungle, we can learn to respect the diversity of humankind.

Knowing that all lives are precious highlights the unique qualities

that each person brings to the world.

When we can celebrate our similarities and differences,

we'll more fully appreciate how we share the human experience. (S. Finelli)
