Remembering Ruedi Häberli
"Wichtig ist nicht nur der Weg, sondern auch das Ziel, nämlich die hier und jetzt anwendbaren, überzeugenden und damit nützlichen Beiträge zum nachhaltigen Handeln."
Dr. Rudolf Häberli (1940-2012).
("The journey is just as important as the final destination, namely the here and now applicable, conclusive and therefore useful contributions to sustainable action." Dr. Rudolf Häberli (1940-2012))
