Bhuwan Thapaliya
“We’ve made a mess of the world, but all is not yet lost. One of the most important things is to connect people, especially children, to nature.”
Bhuwan Thapaliya

Michael Bassey Johnson
“We live in glorified cages, and refer to them as houses. We find comfort in our prisons, yet complain often of being sick. We have forgotten that our noses are not the only conduits for breathing; that the pores of our skins can breathe as well. When we prefer inhaling overused air to a fresh free-flowing air; artificial light to natural light; sedentary lifestyle to itinerancy, we begin to slowly deteriorate. We were created to roam, and not to stay home. We were made for nature, and nature was made for us.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, Sips And Little Portions
