LIfe! an easy word but a hard concept. Why do we exist? Did someone create us, or is it just a matter of evolution? We pose thousands of questions without ever receiving any answers.
This philosophical beginning wasn't so good, I tried, anyway, I want to share (because "SHARING IS CARING") a project that I found a few weeks ago. It is called the "INTERVIEW PROJECT", an idea of David Lynch's. I've never been a great fan of his, and I've only seen one movie, Mulholland Drive (it drove me literally crazy as I was rather scared, and i said to myself to be careful with this man...). But I believe the simplicity of this work is really interesting. Basically it is a road trip where people have been found, and interviewed. (The directors are David Lynch's son, Austin, and a guy called Jason S.). Moreover, there's no real plan here, so the only things guaranteed are are the 25000 miles to ride, and 60 days to travel around the USA. It's so fascinating, and as Lynch himself says "it's something human and you can't stay away from it", that I couldn't resist sharing. Enjoy. Ouch!

London, U.K.

Since 2001, the Swiss-based not-for-profit organisation ACT Responsible (Advertising Community Together), has been collecting global advertising that “promotes responsible communication on sustainability, equitable development and social responsibility” in a bid to highlight how the creativity of advertising professionals can be used to address the world’s problems.

Among its 2,500 ads from more than 40 countries and 140 award-winning agencies is a striking collection of adverts that focus on environmental and social issues: from deforestation to recycling and conserving water to climate change.

Ads, from the top: Killing trees is killing people. for Friends of the Earth, France; Travelling fruits cause pollution. (Think global. Eat local.)  for Bund/Friends of the Earth, Germany; A single tin of paint can pollute millions of liters of water. for WWF Spain; Forests for Life. for WWF Thailand; Save. for WWF Hungary.
