I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD" SOUNDS QUITE OVER-THE-TOP. BUT THE WORLD CAN BE CHANGED BY BIG AND also SMALL STEPS. LET US SHOW YOU THREE PEOPLE WITH THREE VISIONS AND YET ONE UNIFYING GOAL: A BETTER TOMORROW
Thomas, Scientist
As a scientist with a PHD in Agriculture, Thomas is particularly interested in the use of crops. His current research focuses on promoting a special palm type native to South and Central America that has many advantages over the commonly used African oil palm and soy. Most importantly rainforest doesn’t have to be cut down because his crop is able to grow in polycultures. It can be used as bio-fuel, as food or as a general substitute for what we need vast amounts of palm oil and soy for. With his research, he hopes to fight hunger in the world and protect the environment.
Thomas is now officially retired, but he continues to work. He is convinced that humankind is responsible for the dramatic situation planet Earth is in. This is why he wants to stay involved and doesn’t make an exception for himself. He believes that it is necessary to think about how we want to move in the future. During his travels to tropical regions, he saw many people use bicycles as a means of transportation – both for themselves and for goods. Often these people crossed steep mountains, just with the power of their legs. For Thomas, it was an epiphany: a lot is possible with a bicycle. Just imagine what an impact bicycles with an e-drive would have.
Thomas prefers pure bikes. It is simply more fun for him. For a better tomorrow, he is not only a passionate scientist but also wants to be a role model when it comes to mobility. He sees it as counterproductive to give someone a guilty conscience or even to want to impose regulations. If someone changes to a bicycle out of their own conviction, because they see how easy it is to do all the things that are possible with a bicycle, then the positive effect is also sustainable. Conviction comes from setting an example. Or rather, to ride ahead.
