The Environment Still Remains
Lithuania's Focus

"A Lithuanian farmer's crops and livestock were an integral part of his life. They were treated with respect, love, and dedication. They were not merely things to be used to assuage hunger and cover the body. For the Lithuanian, the soil and everything that grew, propagated, and lived in it was an inseparable part of his soul."

This excerpt from Lithuanian Customs and Traditions by Danute Brazyte Bindokiene underlines why Lithuanians, as Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus, focus on the environment as a chief concern.
