I just finished watching "Water is Life", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hF2QL0D5ww&feature=youtu.be, and I came away thinking, "why isn't Sepp Holzer a star?" Why does everyone know who Jeremy Lin is and nobody knows who Sepp Holzer is? Sepp Holzer brings land back to life and Jeremy Lin plays games for a living. I don't mean to pick on Lin, he just so famous, he's even penetrated my consciousness but the essential question remains: why do we exalt people who accomplish nothing while ignoring people who truly contribute to the world?

I am going to buy his book as a way of saying, 'Thanks'.

I'm with you, Leila, I haven't a clue when it comes to sports stars or most show-biz celebrities......

I think Sepp is a pretty big star in our own little world of sustainability. He seems pretty busy with personal appearances.......

Or we might never have existed at all. Freaky. So we should cherish everything. Even this tiny ad:
