Hello everyone,

I am Andreas, a german guy, currently living in the beautiful south west of Western Australia. The idea of creating a website to bring people together in search of themselves was in my head for a long time. Also the theoretical and practical aspect of following a holistic life was always the main interest in my life.

A few days ago the visit of the Dalai Lama in Perth and the discussion about sustainability added another facet to the idea of an internet platform: The planet is in urgent need for some change and we simply can't afford to point the finger at politicians and CEO's any more - it is us who have to become active to start a change. And it is not enough to think about sustainable technologies when we are not clear about our own origin and our interconnectedness with everything that exists. We will behave in our environment according to our perception of ourselves, so we'll have to work on our understanding as well to create a pathway into a more promising future.

The state in which the planet is in and the effects that we are responsible for, are serious. The only chance for a relatively smooth landing in a new society is that we all become aware NOW of our very responsibility for the wellbeing of our planet and start to put it into practice in our daily life.

Starting this website is part of my contribution for a better place to live in, because that is the best that I can offer from my skills and past experiences. I am vowing to learn more, as the subject 'sustainable living' is still new for me.

So we all have a long way to go, I hope that this website will be a start for at least some of us to go this way together as good as we can. The beginning is now.

Thank you for being here!

Andreas
