About Us

“In a sense, each of us is an island. In another sense, however, we are all one. For though islands appear separate, and may even be situated at great distances from one another, they are only extrusions of the same planet, Earth.” J, Donald Walters from the book, Earth Citizen, Recovering our Humanity.
