Money cannot be eaten

"Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only then will you find: money cannot be eaten.”

The truth of this ancient Cree Indian saying grows with time. Wealth is all around us. In our seas, and rivers, in our natural landscapes, our forests and savannahs. When we learn to protect and conserve this natural environment for future generations we will achieve real wealth and happiness.
