“When you preserve skies,
you preserve lands.
When you preserve lands,
you preserve trees.
When you preserve trees,
you preserve forests.
When you preserve forests,
you preserve animals.
When you preserve animals,

you preserve seas.
When you preserve seas,
you preserve oceans.
When you preserve oceans,
you preserve the world.”
