Treat the earth well;
it was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.

We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.

Only when the last tree from this earth has been cut down,
only when the last river has been poisoned,
only when the last fish has been caught,

only then will humankind learn that
money cannot be eaten.
