PIIECL is about an emergent philosophy bringing to light the possibility of creating a sustainable society, and helping to educate children and educators to explore ecological diversity while pursuing bottom up strategies for social change, but I will let the website explain it:

Nicaragua

Madre, que dar pudiste de tu vientre pequeño
tantas rubias bellezas y tropical tesoro,
tanto lago de azures,
tanta rosa
de oro,
tanta paloma dulce, tanto tigre zahareño.

Yo te ofrezco el acerco en que forjé mi empeño,
la caja de armonía que guarda me tesoro,
la peaña de diamantes del Idolo que adoro
y te ofrezco mi esfuerzo, y mi nobre y mi sueño.

                                                            Rubén Darío (1867 - 1916)
