About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I suppose: to show the possible effects of manmade pollution

ABOUT ME

I'm a creative person with the handicap to be sensitive for bad gasses in the air.
From 2004 I visited Vancouver island, Canada, 2005-2006 Thailand, 2007 Sri Lanka, in 2008 Mauritius, in 2009 Brasil where I'm now again: in the Piracanga center / eco village in Bahia : http://www.piracanga.com
To be in much cleaner air then the European.
Conflict of interests: I like to travel and know about airpollution caused by most means of transportation.
Look this about worldwide air traffic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XBwjQsOEeg
and this about possible contribution to compensate CO2 emission : www.treesfortravel.info

PHILOSOPHY
