A great quote about size
No comment, just a BIG :-))!
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.

The ONE thing to remember about live in general …and simplicity
About live in general:
If there was no praise or criticism in the world, then who would you be?
Howard Behar, It’s Not About the Coffee
…and the art of simplicity
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.

Let’s put off doing something and enjoy the WWW

Doesn’t this sound somehow familiar to you?

Thomas Edison, 1931: I’d put my money on solar
This visionary and so(!) current thinking from a past green pioneer (Thomas Edison, 1931) makes me cry!!!
“In 1931, not long before he died, the inventor [Thomas Edison] told his friends Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone: ‘I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.’”
Short prayer to myself: please let us (manking) listen more carefully to wise, visionary women and men while they are still alive or at least let’s act, immediately – NOW!!!
