The Mission
of this website is to proclaim:
Every child on our shared planet should be required to learn how to clean up after themselves.
Children must always be taught that:
- Our natural breathing atmosphere is only 2 miles deep
- How everything I use and love must be cleaned up and it is my responsibility

Responsibilites
Our responsibilities to the world we live in are enormous. Sadly, we often ignore how we pollute.

Understanding habitats is to understand how life lives on our shared planet. Destroying them has been so very easy. Building them is in our hands.

Dear Website Viewer
This is an invitation to you to take part in some of the goings-on that happen in my patch. It all started because of the horrendous and unexpected outpouring of oil down the side of my organic garden. The gully has a 20 metre drop into the ditch at the bottom. It serves all the surface drainage on the roads in the area when it rains and so flushes in great cascades after a storm. The story continues as weekly video episodes in the Responsibilities page.
This disaster prompted me to put a strong and forthright message in my mission. Why not? To move us on from how we have and are polluting our shared planet, I believe we can all make a difference by creating habitats for wildlife and plants. I share some of these in my garden in the Habitats page.
I believe we must learn how to ‘be clean, keep clean and promote cleanliness’ as a way for us all to take responsibility in how we live our lives. That is a never-ending principle and changing it into action, formidable. That is why I am inviting adults to work with a child, or children for them to find ways of creating habitats or how best to clean up after themselves. As always, we as adults will learn from them and their enthusiasms.
The Children Say page is for children to share their actions to create or study a habitat. It is also their chance to show how they clean up after themselves. They are in need of our guidance and praise. This will become infectious – in the best sense of the word and a turnaround from all the infections we have had to cope with?
The Mother Earth page prompts us to think about our home. Why does it keep on giving birth and trying to balance out our terrible punishments to it? How do we give honour to this process and what are we doing to keep it safe for ourselves and our children? This page is for us to reflect upon nature around us and to give thanks and appreciation for it. Regaining awe asks us to become humble in the face of so much that we are given, and what we take.
The Teenagers Say page is for young people to Make a Difference by doing it, showing it, proving it!
With best wishes to you, and those and that which you love – Field Maple
