Research has shown time and time again that, if you want your children to learn to appreciate and care for the environment, there is no more powerful a learning tool than spending quality time with loved ones in the outdoors when they are young. For adults too, nature provides a respite from the business and routine of urban life. The following is a re-print from an email forwarded by Kenny Peavy to the Green Team regarding the Malaysian Nature Society Outdoor Day this coming Saturday. Please attend, bring your family and enjoy what nature has to offer!
