Hola, this time a message from the hospital in the Pacific! As I told you, it was pretty hot. I could barely breathe. I don’t  even know how I got here. When I woke up my fruits were gone and my leafs shrank. I’m thinking about what Alice Hoffman said: ‘When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.’ The weather is even more changing with the current state of the climate.

I have to take my leave, ‘cause I’m pretty weak now.

Love&peace,

Gary

Hi! So I’ve been brought to the Pacific. It’s pretty over here, but also hot! Like the humidity though. Really does me good after the smog… A few months ago I met Maria here in the neighborhood. In the video below she tells about her experience of facing the destruction of her homeland and her call to global leaders to act fast to preserve her way of life and that of millions of others.

‘The times there a changin’ (Bob Dylan) Well, it’s pretty rude: Marias’ house will disappear because of the careless approach of other humans.

Hopefully I can meet Maria in Copenhagen next month. Some doctors (or something) told me they’ll take me there to show the world what the health of the climate is today. Yay!

Love&peace,
Gary

Hi there!

I’m on the road right now. I don’t really know where I am. It’s about as useful as a chocolate teapot that they are taking me away again. It’s like that song of Woodpigeon: ‘If only I recognize my life, I’ve lived a lot of places, but none are mine.‘

People use me as an instrument to measure what the quality of the climate is over there. So I see a lot of places. Do I like it? Dunnoo, sometimes I guess. New York was nice! Kabwe on the other hand…. well I’ll tell you about that some other time. Let me just say this: they do not have facemasks for trees… Anyhoo, it (me actually) is somewhat useful to test the environment, although my health is as changeable as the weather. And the weather isn’t always nice and shiny, as you might have noticed.

How are you?

Love & peace,

Gary

New York!! I love NY! Exactly one year ago I was taken there for just one weekend (just one weekend…), well it was pretty amazing and I realized the citizens are quite environmentally conscious. Most people walk, cycle or ride public transit to their work, and just a few New Yorkers owns a car. Besides, so many people are living at such relatively minuscule spaces, that their emissions of co2 isn’t that much. Well, I’m glad I’m not living in such a gigantic city, though it isn’t as bad as I expected. Have you ever been to New York? Do you consider the Big Apple as eco-friendly? And yourself? How do you travel to your job?

Remember what Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said: ‘So divinely is the world organized that everyone of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else.‘ What do you think?

Hasta la vista!

Hola!

The first post on my blog, hurrah! I saw some nice blogs and got infected with the blog fever. I want to share my experiences and stay in touch with all those people I met during my trips. On the other hand, this is the best way to reach people  now I’m diseased.

Well, I’m Gary and my big love is seeing all those pretty places in the world. My health is not as good as I want, but it’s just something I’ll have to deal with and it won’t stop me from living my dream.

Anyhoo, I will be blogging about my experiences and my sorrows, but there will sure be joyfull blogs! The climate is what is bothering me the most, so I hope I can write something about this and still be somewhat interesting.

I’m constantly looking for fresh crispy green friends! Don’t hesitate to leave a message: comment on my blog posts, get to know me on this blog, follow me on twitter or become one of my friends on Facebook. I’ll try to get pretty involved with you as well!

Love&peace,

Gary
