    I thought that last bit was the most communicative portion of that whole interview.
    It makes sense, it is not about the one person talking about themselves and what they do but more about the collective and having that one person (or many people) inspiring and educating people to go do their own things, whatever that may be.
    I like to call it being an active member of the global cultural movement for a sustainable future….and Summer is pretty cool too ;P
