FYI - the industry(as we know it) is dead. Something better is out there. Im sure that todays industries dont want you to know about it. These radical changes give new life to the old saying "if you build it, they will come". The catch is, you just cant put out typical stuff and expect people to flock to it.

I think my message is this:
The people of this world expect more. We are not entitled to it. We simply believe that we all should be working towards higher goals. Not how much profit we can make/GREED (Wall St.). Not about how much we can produce for the cheapest price (WALMART/Alibaba.com). We are interested in what is right. The right thing to do. For us, for the environment, for future generations.
