"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. 
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. 
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."
- Dr. Seuss

There are no scraps of men. On Christmas Eve - this very special day of the year remember that 
DIGNITY IS IMPORTANT! 

Support the RED CROSS in its work!

Despite what society and politics is telling us: WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS - WE ARE ALL FLESH AND BLOOD AND WE ALL HAVE FEELINGS!

Killing each other therefore seems to be a very stupid concept. Why not doing some music TOGETHER instead?

As an example how that could look like visit the West Eastern Divan Orchestra on its Website:

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

In Chile there is a glacier that goes back 1000 meters a year!

In Peru they are painting the mountains white to simulate lost glaciers and “fight back” the sun rays.

In many places on this earth there are people without running water – not “3rd world” places in deserts. Crowded industrialized places.

I cannot understand why we still flash our toilets with drinking water? Mankind is decadent / stupid / doesn´t care? You chose!

In fact YOU are really the one to chose – and to start with a few small steps…

Take care of your environment, safe water – and teach your family and children!

Have a look at this project. It´s wonderful:
