Inactivating inaction...


‘If we would each contribute a small grain of sand we would make a beautiful beach for the enjoyment of all’
-The Puppet Master


Save the whales!
Save the trees!
Save the wolves…the ozone layer…the rivers…the hippos…the bald eagles…the polar bears…

We’re so eager to save the World…yet we destroy it every day with our ignorance, with our indifference.

How much time have you spent in the last month reading articles about the Greenhouse Effect, about the contamination and endangered species? How much time have you dedicated to be sitting in front of the television, watching the news or documentaries on the planet’s current situation?

It is important to educate the self, you may say. I, for one, am not going to argue that.
What I do have to ask you is this ‘HOW MUCH TIME HAVE YOU SPENT ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT?’

Easy, it is, to just sit down behind a desk sending ‘some help’ (in the best of scenarios) to those braver than us, those with the willingness to act.

Remove that crown adorning your head, intensifying the illusion of that fantasy world where everything revolves around you. Grab your sword and be a knight that fights for all of us, and let’s walk side by side, for the betterment of all.


Lesson learned: Caring is not enough, in itself, at least. Action is what gets things done.
