MATERIAL OR SPIRITUAL VALUE?

It is through the development of spiritual values –
not material ones – that we can truly preserve our
planet: ‘In the traditions of nomadic culture, there has
always been a deep reverence for Nature and its forces.
Respectful and careful treatment of the environment was
instilled with a mother’s milk and passed down through
generations. Today, it is becoming clear that the true
cause of the ecological crisis is the loss of our traditions
of caring for Nature’.

Ch. T. Aitmatov
