Environmental Stewardship is Not a New Idea

One of my friends has the following Kenyan proverb below the signature line on her emails.

"The Earth was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children."

It's a good reminder that environmental stewardship is something that has been around for a long time and does not only reside so-called developed West/North (though we get the "credit" for causing a hugely disproportionate share of the damage).
