Whether we wake up each morning under eaves beneath trees, or on the top floors of towers among a forest of more towers; whether we walk our children to school through a park, or drive our car down the traffic-clogged streets to the market; whether we spend our mornings closed in meeting rooms, or tending urban gardens, each of us are the potential builders of a new culture, and each of our actions offers opportunity for transformation. Consider the garden hacking grandparents of Dae-dong in South Korea, who have realized that there is inherent value in the action of tending a garden, and in the action of taking time every day to be with nature. Nurturing a love for nature is an indispensable part of life.
