People
always do everything wrong to nature and themselves.
Man seems to have one function on earth: to destroy
himself. The nature of the plant world is always
constructive. It is always the teacher, in the
creative as well as the ecological sense.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser
"Saving the world is not
too hard, you just have to start
in your own backyard." Des Kay
