From Elizabeth Reshhower
Dear Folks:
My recommendations for the optimum use of natural resources for the continued good of our county community:
A WILDLIFE CENSUS
So we can predict and protect our food supplies, I suggest that our school children be set to observing and counting all the wildlife running free, so we can keep track of the ones who taste like chicken or better in case we need to harmoniously harvest the excess populations thereof to feed our families.
This would teach the young ones observation skills, tracking, hunting, accurate describing and recording factual evidence of the wealth of our natural resources. A school curriculum could be developed in order to deliberately teach the skills required for factual accounting of these creatures: numbers, colors, speed, direction calendar and seasons. It would create a familiarity and harmony with nature, which could only benefit our future survival. The results could provide guidance for future activity to increase the living food supply for our people. Scientific analysis and careful planning could keep us alive for generations to come.
