As Geography Awareness Week kicks off, we love introducing a few people with an inspiring geographic attitude. Today we bring you the subject of National Geographic's Letter of the Week, six-year-old Ryan. He's so concerned about the plight of the earth, he was inspired to make his own film to instruct others how "to save the world." His mother writes:
Ryan's video is chock full of information, and although I am not entirely sure how wearing a bike helmet can save the world, it's a pretty good tip anyway. His geography skills are also remarkably sharp: Notice how young Ryan correctly points out features like rainforests and the Himalayas on a globe. I was pretty impressed. Thanks Ryan, for inspiring people to care about conservation and geography!
My son Ryan receives National Geographic Kids every month and reads it over and over until it literally falls apart. I want to commend you on your magazine as it has expanded his view of life. He was always precocious and interested in animals, but now there is a marked difference. Now he wants to save the world. My son asked to make a video to teach people how to change the world and save the environment. I used my digital camera to help him.... Thank you for producing this magazine. It has changed our lives.

I love Geography awareness week. The whole family gets into it. My kids and I always do games and puzzles (often from NG sites). Great family building!
