It is thought some time about replacing bicycles for cars, but this idea just stay in the air as good many that were proposed and were not made. Finally, I chord of this for a "letter which dealt with a story about a bicycle." In this letter not only refers to the system of which stand to live better, but also the methods they use. This is the case of
Groningen, the Netherlands , where it is used (mostly universities) bicycles instead of cars and there are many reasons.
"The motor transport is the actual" hard core "of the ecological crisis. No other human activity that impacts so serious as the motorized transport, committed to the generation of greenhouse gases, air pollution and marine noise , degradation of the landscape and urban sprawl associated with land development.

How are you??, thanks for the answer, we have here a very rainy day, i tell you this, because your question about Chaiten-la Junta. Is a shame..but the people can't back for 3 moths...but, the problem will be more long, we are talking about years, so, is so is very time. Now, the river of those little town ( Chaiten,futaleufu,la junta and others) is out of the normal way, i don't know the word in english, but i try to tell you that now is more complicated than before.
Well about the plants, we have problems, i'm veri ill, hahah, so, is more hard for me, go out with friends.So for the moment Bonsai, is tree too, just that more small. Well Paul, thanks about the treeman, (i hope that this can change hundred of thought in many places, is a very good idea). and good luck with your goals.
Good bye and Good luck
Thanks for planting those trees with your friends. It sounds like a great time with all the rain. Now in China, the earth is very hard because it is hot.
I'm going to contact treeman to see what he has to say about your question of him coming to Chile or soemone creating one. I think it be wonderful if we could get him down to Chile and that may well be possible as we'll be coming down sometome in the enxt year to build our environmental home - not too far south of Chiaten, near La Junta.
Anyway, lets see what happens. Keep up the great work and thanks for the information on Chaiten and please let us know when people go back - we have a couple of friends there.
Go well
Really??, you don't find anything?...what's freak. Well, yes the mood here is so bad, you don't have idea . all the animals die, and the ash rain is like a movie. all white, the government just take all the people and leaving the town, so, now, is like a ghost city, without a soul, just the white ash rain, no one there. Well Paul...i send you yesterday a email , because i want know if is possible make a walkman tree in other places of the world. is about that, i need pay copyright? or something?, you know, that idea is great, here will be amazing i believe, the thought of hundrer of children can change, and that's great. OK Paul, thanks for ask. Good luck in china! Good bye green friend
Hope alls well with you. I heard about the Volcano in Chaiten. I hope everything OK down there. We spent several months in Futaleufu last year and bought some land near La Junta. Its very very beautiful and the people of Patagonia are great.
I got a message today saying that you had added a comment to my page - but I can't find it?
Alwasy look on the bright side, be for things rather than against and recognise that if the world should blow up tomorrow that you have done your best - thats all that's asked and required.
Keep up the good work.
I am not going to be there alone. I am wife my wife Konomi and our land is not far form the village of La Junta where we have many friends. We love nature and have no desire to be in a city or even a town and lived very happily for six months in Mexico in the mountains before going to patagonia. In Mexico we hardly ever went into a town and were very happy observing, photographing and recording the beauty of the untouched environment.
Next year we will begin the construction of our house and when it is built will probably spend at least six months before going anywhere but the village.
Maybe we'll get to meet you in the future.
Go well
We love Chile and have just brought a peice of heaven in Northern Patagonia where we will build our environmental home and live displaying the wonders of sustainability and the beauty of a life surrounded by nature.
