Rain Forest Funds

I would like to congratulate the students and teachers of Willow Elementary School in Glendora for their wonderful contributions to save rain forests in Central America (“Pennies for the Planet,” Metro, April 25).

It is truly gratifying to see young children learning free market solutions to ecological problems instead of the typical coercive solutions pressed by many environmental activists and government officials. Organizations like the Nature Conservancy and students like those at Willow Elementary School give me great hope for the future of our planet.
