The Island of Seychelles (pronounced "Say-Shells") is breathtakingly beautiful. NBC News ran a feature on this little country just this morning. <b>What's so special about it?</b> Besides its beautiful views and private beaches, this country protects its assets - in this case, its environment. Their leader stated that Seychelles' only asset is the beauty of their landscape. 50 of the land is protected. Children are taught about the environment from an early age. Rare species enjoy a safe place on the island; featured this morning was a gigantic tortoise making its way across the beach. <b>What about housing?</b> The buildings are "integrated and sustainable", their leader said. Amazing how a tiny island has so much to teach to mammoth countries with multiple streams of revenue. I, for one, would love to vacation there sometime. If you decide to visit as well, let's try an experiment. Go to the beach, admire the landscape (and seascape), visit some homes if you can....and leave with the memories of fresh air, sunshine, beauty, and the wonder of the ecosystem God has created for us to enjoy. Then bring that sense of satisfaction back to where you live and work -<br> and make a difference in your corner of the world. Have a beautiful day!
