We should not continue to accept or tolerate huge fuel prices,
when other resources are available!!!
Alternative energy, is an important progression
for our children to embrace, question and develop.
This common-goal should impact
long-overdue harmony, globally.
Passing the message on to more people, will positively impact the future of our environment, community and international development.

Our children are the future!
The 2.5 minute video below, is an example of a car-engine running on water.
The global impact should have already been monumental, but power and greed seems to have over-shadowed the detriment of oil to us and our environment.
Our children should be shown.
They will then succeed.

RECENT NEWS!
February, 2008
Futuristic toy car runs on tap water
A remote-control car produced by the toymaker Corgi is the first household item to be powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology. The car, called H2GO, uses hydrogen derived from tap water as its fuel and was developed by the Leicester-based company in partnership with Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, an international firm based in Shanghai that hopes to extend the technology to home appliances. The hydrogen is separated from oxygen in the tap water via a miniaturised unit powered by a rechargeable battery. A tiny solar panel to charge the battery is an optional extra. The H2GO, which is billed as the first “zero emissions†remote-control toy, went on show at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair. It is expected to sell for £130 from September.Could this toy be the start of a long overdue, internationally significant and positive move forward?
We believe the technology within this toy, will be of historical importance.
Saving our earths natural resources can be easy. Even small changes can make a big impact! The clips below can give you some ideas.

Montessori Schools
have been designed to promote the "development of individual children in a safe, supportive, culturally-diverse environment that gives them the freedom to explore, cooperate, create, and become".
The mission statement of The Montessori House of Learning is:
Each child is respected as a unique person with his or her own needs; Experiences; Abilities and interests.
We believe that children learn at individual rates through work and play; First hand experiences; Modelling and imitation.
We foster and extend the child's inquisitive nature by planning for a secure, happy, stimulating yet calming environment, providing developmentally appropriate experiences for children.
We believe in the importance of seeing the child as a whole and develop all aspects of the child's physical, emotional social, creative, cognitive and language skills.
Believe in the rights of all children regardless of gender, cultural identity religious beliefs and family or financial background.
As well as all that logic, the method also seeks to give the child experience in
"The care of ones self, care and the environment" and
"Using ones senses to explore the environment".
For more information about Montessori Schools, please go to:
http://www.montessori-elc.com.au/
Another brilliant educational resource is The Steiner Schools.
Part of this mission statement includes:
Identifying what lives in each human being and encouraging what can be developed in him or her.
Only then will it be possible to direct the new qualities of each emerging generation into society.
Society will then become, what young people, as whole human beings, make out of the existing social conditions.
The new generation should not just be made to be what present society wants it to become.

Eventually, we can only hope to see more mainstream education areas embracing environmental issues as standard inclusion of curriculum. The information below, gives hope...
The Government in England wants every school to be a sustainable school by 2020.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) launched their Sustainable Schools Framework in 2006 when the Secretary of State for Education, the Rt Hon Alan Johnson MP set out challenging long-term aspirations for schools to mainstream learning about sustainable development issues and sustainable practices into everyday school life.

Music is a great way to reach a large number of people, so we admire all those extremely talented artists who have/are using their position to help SHAPE OUR SURVIVAL, for us, our children and future generations.
Bono and U2, instrumentally responsible for global awareness of poverty-levels, previously unimaginable by most of us. Power to them!
The music they make, is a testament to their artistry and their ability to reach millions by music is deservedly phenomenal.
The song below is "One".

Vanessa Amorossi, a true example of

Further proof that regardless of our colour, beliefs, position of influence or even our size, we can all create memorable positivity for our future generations.

Below is more proof that talent and natural ability exists from a very early age. (Plus they are cute clips). Teaching our children the importance of environmental preservation, is something they will be able to grasp wholeheartedly and in return, will no doubt teach us a thing or two, like maybe how to smile more!
