How to save this beloved planet and how to free the people?

You misunderstood me. You still expect everyone to do as you wish. So I can`t change the world, the people, but i can do things which i think people can be happy about without becoming a victim or slave. I mean for example give a hug to the closest family, ask my colleauges how they are, say someone "you look great today", and surely have a look around to preserve nature, but just for myself. You know maybe those small actions won`t affect people, maybe they will, maybe it won`t change anything, but that doesn`t care. Its all about your feeling about it and the signal you send, and maybe you get it back. We always have the choice. And so it goes on, if we say i start seperate the garbage, buying only glass bottles and so on..
I think these are the small things which count and not the Politics BLABLA abou Kyoto or other **** programmes.
