If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem...break on through brother...get up and fight

I'm writing a book, poems and songs. To get my message out.
I am investing in eco technologies.

thumbs up

Ten points....

To go for the topic....

No, i don't really believe that today's society is going to last unless it changes. We have the signs visibly available all around us. It is simply not sustainable.

To Stress's eco technologies......the last three years I have been involved in converting two very old original farmhouses locally. The fundamental design concept of the whole is recycling and eco-friendliness. Can't really go into the details, a bit complicated and would take too long.

I am also involved in the creation of a Meditterranean orchard/park on some fields I own down in the valley. The idea is to re-create as far as possible the natural afforested condition of the valley before agricultural use stripped it of all trees and most of the flora and fuana. Land rehab sort of.

Right now, I am also studying the possibility of installation of solar voltiac panels to be sefl sufficient in power generation too. All rainwater is already controlled with the necessary reservoiur systems installed on site.

Maaaaaannnnnn.....we really do swing on the same wavelenght.....

Having said all this points to waht stree said....being disagreeable to the way things are is not enough. If not fighting in the street or protesting loudly, but yes, get up and do something about it.

That is the only way things will change....JUST DO IT!!

cool

Interesting thing is that we are very few that are writing in this thread although no one is happy.

people just sit back and go with the flow in general and if everybody protest things change.

Kurzita, those are some very cool activities that you are up to!

Have you thought about a mini-hydro-power system at the outflows of your reservoirs?

Uk man 31, take heart Mister! For every one person that speaks out, there are many more who feel the same, but are just too timid, afraid or feeling too helpless to act or speak!

Everytime we speak out, more people realize that... WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!

Every little bit does help... just do something, anything to help, soon all of the little things add up to a whole new mind-set for our civilization.

We CAN make a difference!!
