Featured quote from The Earth Charter in Action:

Eventually, the children of today will be responsible for our society tomorrow; therefore, children have to be educated as citizens of the planet Earth and inheritors of all its values and riches. With the Earth Charter, children learn that “another world is possible” – and another Mallorca too.

– Guillem Ramis, "Testimonials and experiences from the Balearic Islands, Spain," p. 146.
