Why not have a full social life with lots of fun? Why not convert our cities as a group of eco-villages, decent places where to live? Why not grow healthy food? Why not keep gardens, parks & public spaces designed like gardens of Eden? Why not have industrial plants that recycle everything we use in our lives? Why not share with the people around us? Why not? In the end it is up to us. It isn't enough that we beat our chests & cry. What can I do? What we can do is totally clear. First of all we have to put in order our own house.
