YAY!!! Thank you, billionaires.

A nice name, Gates. And his is certainly open!

Hurrahs and thanks to Bill Gates and 28 other billionaires who are pledging some of their wealth to helping change our planet.  Now you know where the bucks are going when you ask, “What do those people DO with all that money?”

Well, they are spending on you and all of us.

Twenty eight private investors, including Microsoft’s Bill Gates, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, pledged their own money to help build private businesses based on that public research.

What wonderful people! A big thank you to all of them and to any others pledging to help get us back on track with Nature.

The photograph of Bejing in the NYT several days ago, which showed a bicycler in brown, heavy smog, barely able to read road signs, much less see stoplights, I imagine, was hair-raising.

And even here, which is not Bejing, mama and papa have trouble breathing properly in the streets when there is traffic. So many cars are not properly cared for but there has been an attempt to curb certain cars on odd and even days to cut down on the smog. Not helping much, I’m afraid.

A friend of mine received email from a friend of hers in the USA saying, “Why on earth are all these countries spending time and money on a UN climate conference?”  Can you imagine?  All she has to do is go online and look at photos of Bejing and other cities.

Please send good vibes for the results of the climate meeting in Paris. And let’s hope that others follow suit with Mr. Gates and his compatriots.
