Do you believe we're now in a global emergency?

I believe we are. Although this process started many years ago or even decades ago, many among us are still in denial.

What does climate change mean to you?

The continuation of climate change in the negative sense of its definition unfortunately means that still more people, as opposed to less people, out of the relative small percentage of people responsible for today's major economies and political institutions, do not yet see the importance of working together for the benefits of humanity and environment, but rather deny the need for fundamental changes to today's societies.

What does peace mean to you?

To overcome cultural differences in future generations and to prevent cultural conflicts and religious wars by offering a radical new approach to today's educational processes, not only focusing on the transfer of knowledge, but also on personal development and happiness, creativity and environment, including offering accommodation, food and job security to children and their families.

What does community mean to you?

Businesses and corporations working for humanity. They still work for profits, but only a fraction of their profits is used for business specific endeavors, e.g. R&D or growth, while the biggest fraction of their profits returns to humanity and environment.

What does politics mean to you?

Politics means being fully responsible and accountable for policy decisions and to acknowledge that policy decisions do not stop at the borders of nations and its effects will have inter-generational impacts.

What does money mean to you?

The little importance of money is that it should facilitate us to have a meaningfull life to work for each other and for the environment. Without a meaningful life money has no meaning at all.

What makes you truly happy?

Fortunately one can be truly happy by opening one's heart to all the happiness already present in today's world. Even in the most perilous environments where people lack sufficient food, drinking water and accommodation, one will encounter love and happiness. What makes one truly happy should be to make others truly happy.
