What inspires you?

People! People: anyway whether they are active and looking for progress, or just absolutely narrow-minded and caring only about themselves. It motivates me to recognise how we can improve our planet. For this it is great to see the ideas, the power and the credos of the active ones. But to analyse how to change the world with the help of couch potatoes is at least as inspiring.

Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.

Sustainable mobility. I’m joining a team which is going around the world to raise awareness for solar mobility. The Solartaxi Project. On this travel I met so many people, discussed with them about future mobility and I recognised that there is a massive lack of knowledge. Sustainable mobility is necessary to stop global warming and to stop wars for oil, both are major problems of the 21st century, but solutions are already available, they just need to be implemented.

Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.

A good leader is obviously a person who makes a decision which will improve the situation of the majority, even if himself has a disadvantage from this decision. It is all about responsibility, ethics and the mirror in which you should see an honest and responsible acting character: yourself.

Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.

You helped me already. You gave me some inspiration and motivation to start a blog in English to inform and convince people about their power as consumers.
