I CARE FOR... AND STAND FOR...
things and ideas that are preoccupying me

Lately I got to know more about the environmental and social problems that the world is confronting with today. That is way now I try to find more sustainable and ethical ways of living my life and doing my work. Following the advice of Mahatma Gandhi ''Be the change that you wish to see in the world", I do my best to improve the world around me.

Thus, some of my new interests and hobbies will be: watching environmental movies, cooking organic food, being out in the nature, getting informed about sustainable design and environmental issues generally and … ride my bicycle ☺
