You as a Steward of this Planet

Your experience in Argentina will foster an appreciation for the items we take for granted in the U.S. that are not available to most of the people of the world. Population growth and its constant quest to achieve a higher standard of living puts the Earth in an undesirable path to catastrophe induced by the finite supply of natural resources. Some of those resources come from developing countries like Argentina. Unless a conscious effort of stewardship towards our planet is applied, environmental degradation occurs as a consequence of exploration, extraction and use of Earth resources.

Our program emphasizes conservation and preventive measures as the best option to avoid irreversible disruptions to ecosystems. Examples in the field will help you understand natural processes and the human impact. You will become aware that, although there is still time to insure a sustainable future, it is up to each one of us to play a part in conserving the planet.
