The surest sign that we are having a good time is that we want to do it again. If our “recreations” are damaging the environment or hurt others, those good times will end.  Our use of public lands need to be guided by the principle of sustainability, so that future generations will be able to have the same pleasures that we enjoy.

      Imagination is a powerful tool.  It lets us envision the future that we want.  When we let our positive visions to guide us, we help make that future come true.

      We can also imagine an incredible number of different things that can go wrong.  If we let these doubts be our guide, they will freeze us into inaction and nothing will improve.
