I believe that one of the ways to help get people interested in environmentalism is to make them passionate about creation. Most of us have a bucket list and often out bucket list or passions involves something from nature.
A few of mine are:
-
I want to see and handle the roughly 65 species of snakes in alabama including the venomous ones. I’ll eventually take a class on snake handling ( not at all related to anything religious) .
-
I want to find the roughly 30+ species of ferns in alabama.
-
I want to see the Northern Lights in person. I think seeing the aurora borealis would just be cool. Maybe this can be coupled with stargazing from Sawtooth Mountain.
-
I want to start a comprehensive private “‘herbarium”’ of leaves and their buds from native flora.
-
I want to see the underwater forest located in the Gulf of Mexico. Hopefully I can couple this with seeing Hammerhead Sharks a bit closer.
