"Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?"
Certainly it doesn't. But many flaps could.
I guess this is the aim of Blog Action Day.
To make many flaps, so that we can start a Tornado and do something to change the World.
Many little things all together create a huge saving of energy.
No only.
Many little things make you think and thinking makes you changing the way you think.
And changing the way you think makes you changing the way you behave.
And we come to the point: we have to change our lifestyle.
Saving changing the bulbs is but a beginning.
If we really want to change the environment we have to change the way we live.
Living for having a better life, not for creating hell.
Living for being and being well, not for producing and wasting.
Using our legs or a bike instead of the car whenever possible.
Saving on heating, on air conditioning, on electricity, on food on whatever we do not really need.
Being suddenly aware of the fact that we do a lot, not because we need it, or we are convinced of, but because somebody convinced us of...
Investing more of our time for learning instead of passively watching.
Realizing that 90% of our mobile calls are for nothing.
But they pollute.
Realizing that our freedom ends where somebody else's freedom begins.
That if we make a better world and convince the others to make a better world, we won't reach happiness, but we will go very close to it...

Thank you for your prose about living a greener life.
Kudos to you for participating in blog action day.
I did not participate. However, I wrote a belated post of my own about an environmental issue that might strike a cord with some of your readers.
Brazilian Teak Floors, Slave Labor, and the Destruction of the Rain Forest.
You can find it at:

Anything that you can do to help promote awareness of this issue will be greatly appreciated. Normally, I don't ask for this kind of help, but the issue is that important to me.
Thank you!
