John's Environment time capsule 20th Anniversary page
Fundraising for Population Matters
Story
My charity is www.populationmatters.org because of the ever greater urgency to reduce
both our environmental footprints and the number of feet - ie the number of
humans doing the footprinting - through voluntary contraception. This will be a competition
between cycling (me on my Brompton & others), running (my son Dr Chris Guillebaud
& others), London Underground and a car. We will finish at Kew where is buried the
eco-timecapsule that is based on the saying "we have not inherited the earth
from our grandparents, we have borrowed it from our grandchildren". In 1994 we saw how angry they will be if we
irreversibly wreck their loan....So we said “sorry” to them, two generations
later. But, even more important, we intend that finders of the timecapsule in
2044 will wonder why
we apologised! Donating
