Mother Earth is the greatest teacher, if we listen to her, observe her and respect her. When we live in harmony with Mother Earth, she will recycle the things we consume and make them available to our children. As a man, I must teach my children how to take care of the Earth so that it will be there for future generations. So from now on I realize that the Earth is our Mother. I will treat you with honor and respect. I will honor the interconnectedness of all things and all life. I will realize that the Earth does not belong to us, but that we belong to the Earth. Natural law is the ultimate authority over lands and water. I will learn the knowledge and wisdom of natural laws. I will pass this knowledge on to my children. Mother Earth is a living entity that maintains life. I will speak positively every time I see someone abusing the Earth. Just as I would protect my mother, so I will protect the Earth. I will make sure that the earth, the water and the air will be safe for my children and for my children's children, those not yet born." When this was said, the children of Cetan Luta began to love the land and follow what their father had said and the earth grew and the animals and trees lived the most joyful life
