A new team is working very hard to plan new, exciting things for TEDxAmsterdam. More news will follow soon!
We read social posts and blogs on sustainability, we share them, we like them, we tag our friends. We think about it, we want to know more about it and we share thoughts about it. We invest our time in knowing more on how to protect our planet. We accept less of the solutions given and question more. Are the things we do, the things we should be doing?
The opinions of others will continue to clash but the integrity of your thoughts should stay strong. Stand up for what you believe in and stand up for our world. Question the views of others and plan for tomorrow. Time is going faster, it’s a fluid and precious aspect of life. It feels like we’re running. It’s what we do with our time and our thinking that counts.
The time to think is now over. It is time for action. Immediate action. Planet act thinks less and does more. It’s how we act. Don’t wait. Do more. Join the movement. Planet act.
Sit down less. STAND UP MORE.
React less. ACT MORE.
Accept less. QUESTION MORE.
Waste less. SAVE MORE.
Today less. TOMORROW MORE.
Panic less. PREPARE MORE.
Break less. BUILD MORE.
Exist Less. LIVE MORE.
Talk less. ACT MORE.
PLANET ACT.
