the right way?

many people concentrate on the bad things and not on the good things. unfortunately, me often as well. anyway, as the year 2013 comes to its end, let's think about things which are right :-)

more to come soon or never ... and yes, at least this nice picture will not get lost :-)

i'm thinking how to add the win of GMO-opponents (march against monsanto events) in germany (thanks to jörg bergstedt and others there were no GMO plants planted in 2013) and some success stories about regional initiatives ... please be patient, my dears ...

jörg bergstedt's herrschaftsfreie welt: ein bereits funkionierendes beispiel? in der software industrie (wohl aufgrund der dort hohen gehälter, die schon bei paar wenigen arbeitstagen im monat die lebenskosten decken und den rest nutzen einige leute für 'gute sachen') gibt es open access + open source projekte wie z.b. LINUX, FIREFOX, WIKIPEDIA, wo es keine patente und ähnliches gibt, wo alles allen gehört und alle haben drauf zugriff und jede(r) die aktuelle lösung verbessern kann um sie so für allen besser zu machen ... eigentlich ganz einfach, oder? und ja, in so einer welt wäre geld überflüssig / nicht vorhanden, also ganz anders als die ständige in-wert-setzung von allem im kapitalismus ...

it is not difficult to know what the right approach is, just listen to eminem ... emimem would be a better name, wouldn't it?

quite similar to this or not really, my dears?

think global, act local

you don't know how? it is easy, my dears. there are ten thousands small and big issues out there which improve the world. just try few of them :-)

trial #1: i have planted 4 golden acacia trees which i have grown up from seeds in the nearby forest and i still have two more for later this year or for next year. two live already in 'freedom' since last autumn, but one struggling a lot as they cut all bushes at the nearby supermarket, so i'm not sure it will survive ... the other one is fine and growing :)

before

good-bye flower pot + hello forest, the new home for my sweet little babes

after

shall the local ghosts take care of my small trees? will they?

they were 170 years here for us. still healthy + producing oxygen we breath. now dead. so sad 😨

trial #2: let's support local businesses ~ ok, just visited friend's hot stone massage around the corner

this beauty is not me, of course. source of the picture: here

trial #3: what about my next trial for the idea 'grow food, not lawn'? of course organic and for sure no GMO / monsanto 'supported' stuff :-)

chili, eatable, i've already tried it => so hot :-)

trial #4: help others

our hedgehog winter hotel, catering starts in december :)

trial #5: an interesting social project in germany, where people can interact together in open spaces using a multifunctional cube shape it to different things like bridge, bench, children playing ground etc. WIRFEL (like würfel aka cube in german)

trial #6, .... #10,000: coming soon or never :o)

btw, the google album with the pictures is here 

ok, there is also some good on bigger scale as well: enjoy this examples
