ah well... you know... it's been a pleasure & an honour!

One thing: about getting some results... The way I see it, it's important to put the effort in, to launch the thing, so to speak - but then things take their own course. OOH seems to have grown little legs (& maybe wings, too!) and is globetrotting. Check it out: you got the idea to film it, a number of people replied, the video was made, launched on YouTube - & you guyz even got it shown in IMAX (!!) And then... it was presented at a short film festival - & people got interested. I got it & started showing it around - now Amma's centre got interested. What next? Go figure!
I am rather philosophical on this: say, you plant a seed, & you need right weather, soil, water... but once it's planted, you won't be digging it out every five minutes to see if it grows, right? There is a whole lot of factors involved; it will grow, don't worry. One can do only as much as one can do. But when we're talking more people... it's a network!

Another thing: about giving an example to the others. Like my Spanish proffi used to say, the best examples come from life itself. When I moved to Spain I didn't think much of recycling, I simply wasn't familiar with it. Here I got some ideas & started separating waste. My husband & stepson said that it was no use cos most people didn't do it, workers in recycling plants were paid for it, industry contaminated much more so it wouldn't change anything. I said that that was true - but I would still do it cos it was something I could certainly do & so my conscience will be at peace. Guess what, half a year later they started separating waste too I was pretty much surprised cos I didn't try to convince them or impose my opinion - but they got "infected" by the example. Go figure

Of course 3 persons on a global scale is a drop in the ocean - but hey, we're talking 100% population of this one house!
