[GMW #2147] Act On An Individual Basis When And Where Ever Possible

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

~ Idea 1385 ~ 26 April 1998

Four years ago I was asked to speak at the graduation ceremony of the business students of Stanford University. I told them that in reality they had been trained to destroy the Earth for the benefit of business. In the question period, a student asked: "What can we do against it? It is so overpowering."

I answered: "You can at least react on an individual basis. For example, I have sworn not to drink a drop of Coca Cola or any other so-called "soft" drink as long as I live. That at least I can do. It might well represent several thousand bottles during my lifetime."

And the whole studentship broke out in applause.

Well, dear reader, you can do the same and enjoy pure water or natural fruit juices.
