Earth Tomorrow Program are visiting the State Capitol on March 21,
2005, and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to recognize

impact they can have in their communities; participants discover
their local watershed and learn how their actions can affect this
important ecological element and ultimately the health of the
Galveston Bay; and

leading to an understanding of environmental careers and career
paths in general; and

Schools are participating in the Earth Tomorrow Program, and their
commitment to such a worthy endeavor is indeed commendable; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby welcome the students of the Earth Tomorrow
Program to the State Capitol and extend to them sincere best wishes
