I believe we could learn a few thing from the aboriginal culture. They are a peaceful nature loving tribe and America is full of people who just loathe the environment. The Aborigines can entertain and support themselves when most Americans need government and welfare to live their lives. |
| Christopher from Australia |
The concept of living in harmony with the land not viewing it as a limitless resource. |

To be more resourceful without compromising the environment in the process. The Aborigines are adept at survival and don't need more or less than they currently have. What we need to learn from them is just that be content with what earth has given you and don't destroy earth in the process of survival. |

That all life grows and lives together in a balance. The Aboriginal people believe that we do no own the earth but that we are simply the caretakers of it. Doing damage to our surroundings only does damage to ourselves. |
