The Moneyless Man
對於居於英國的Mark Boyle而言，最重要的是他的車屋、一部太陽能手提電腦和用墨魚骨製成的牙膏，卻身無分文：「讀了六年經濟學，從未見過「ecology」一字。 要不是最後一個學年看過甘地的視頻，我現在可能高薪厚職，義無反顧的勸印度農夫種改基因植物。」

So they set up a few tables… Continue reading At School: Our Lady of the Rosary Church
On the Press: Dynamix & TVB
These days we are fortunately overwhelmed by media interest. Thank GOD. We hope it helps put this sharing idea into the public – we should have let out unwanted stuff, opened our hearts, and shared it with others a long time ago. I hope what we bring about is not just another ‘oddly enough’ story… Continue reading On the Press: Dynamix & TVB
