| Issue 60: Microsoft, models and ministers: How far would you go?
 Dear readers After four years of full-time commitment, we are today sending out our 60th issue! Thanks to you, our community of readers for reading, sharing and following us in our commitment to spreading green inspiration to all who care about the future of this planet. Thank you to the greener corporates who shared our vision and supported us from the start, or joined later on, and also those green companies who use our portal to spread their green knowledge. As we are heading now towards a million hits per month, we know that the benefit goes three ways: win for national awareness and action, win for green business and win for the planet and her creatures. This is the mission of this social/environmental enterprise and all our friends on board. Now is not the time to play our cards close to the chest. That is the old mind-set which got us into trouble in the first place. The planet requires that we don’t compete, but collaborate. Mother Earth sustained us while we gained knowledge, skills, experience and wisdom. Now is the time to open our hands and share freely to benefit all. This is our vision – that pooling together we create an alive, humane and compassionate world, a world of inspired folk who know that nothing belongs to you in the first place and true blessings arrive in the sharing. So thank you for travelling with us and for inviting your friends to step on, as you notice that we share one heart-mind for a radiant future. Thank you to all dedicated role models building this new world on the ground, saving species and innocent people who never created the problems we are now facing. Thank you for every small change you have made – every light you’ve switched off, every shorter shower, every tree planted, every step walked, every scrap recycled, everything lugged around to avoid another plastic bag and thank you for speaking up for the earth and her vulnerable species. Please keep it up – we have a long way to go. “All diseases and discontents flow from our fundamental denial of unity with each other and the universe,” says Mel Ash in The Zen of Recovery. “To try to fill your emptiness with meaning from outside yourself is like pouring water into the ocean to make it wet.” Onwards we grow towards a beautiful world… You can also read this week's stories on our HOME PAGE. |
