I just found our that my friend (and he was my friend before he became famous… 
) André Ribeirinho won the coveted Prémios NS’ Vinho - Os melhores de 2009.(scroll to the bottom of the page)….WOW…
I so happy for him, as not only does he have an abundance of talented…he also happens to be…a nice guy…
Congratulations to you André…and big kisses to the woman behind you…
You can get to know more about André on his blog…
I was invited to see the Premier in Lisbon of Invictus last night, which documents the nation building that Nelson Mandela’s had to go through in South Africa. Quite an amazing story…what was interesting was that my South African friend explained to me that Madiba (Mandela’s tribe name) did not actually have the support for most of black South Africa who naturally wanted revenge…
What a great man Nelson Mandela is…if you feel in need of inspiration, go and see this film…the man truly is an example of what human kind is capable of.
Listening to a presentation at the ICS workshop this week, one of the presenters (Rui Frazão of LNEG) said something to the effect that industry should look to provide services rather than products…which means that instead of selling a washing machine, you sell the wash…which means that people pay for each wash they make at home…the washing machine manufacturer then provides the most energy and water efficient machine, and even look to manufacture the machine so that parts are easily reusable at the end of the useful life of the machine. It’s something that we have been favouring for some time and its nice to hear a respected researcher like Rui Frazão also developing the theme. (more…)
There are moments in my life that I feel we can do amazing things collectively….This is a message I received from Greenpeace which confirms this…its worth reading this and having a look at how you can get involved in the cause…
Message from Greenpeace…
Together, we went far in 2009.
Our voices and actions helped build the biggest movement civil society has ever seen around the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen, convinced Apple, Clorox, and Philips to remove toxic chemicals from their products, and brought a successful conclusion to our eight year campaign to stop Kimberley-Clarke from pulping the most endangered North American rainforests. You also made us one of the biggest NGOs on Facebook and sent thousands of e-mails that gave our fragile Earth a voice.
We have come far - and accomplished so much. Now let’s go further.
