Unless you get with the plan you are out of the plan. Honestly, I think it is time we all look at the way we use things every day in our life. I am here because I want to learn from the experts. It was interesting to hear that Bottega Veneta have built an eco headquarters, for example. And they collect their rainwater! We should all do that.

“Often it is the case that it takes ‘just a little’ to help and support people, so they can help themselves. I have met adults and children, men and women, whose living conditions are difficult for us to imagine, but every time I come away inspired by their strength and will to improve their lives and provide a better life for their children.”
