“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” Goethe

We all know, that we can´t go on polluting and destroying our environment without putting ourself and all around in danger. Knowing things without applying or willing things without doing doesn´t help anyone. It is important for me to use the knowledge or what I have learned to help to create a better environment and a life worth living for our descendants.
