Thank you, Peggy Duvette, for tweeting and posting !
The people in crisis areas we work for at Tamera Peace Research Center will also be thankful. May the research for humane sustainability gather more and more people to find and to share positive solutions for Planet Earth. Renaturisation of landscapes, solarvillages, creating peaceknowledge, renewable energies, local food supply, …
For trustful and truthful life circumstancies.
