140 pages full of exciting articles, interesting people and magnificent pictures.The annoying madness never comes toan end. The earth groans. The WWF and others promoted the "Earth Overshoot Day 2017" in early August. This means wehumans have exhausted all natural resources that can regenerate and sustain the earth within a year. Biocapacity has long been exceeded. But what todo?No more traveling? Just sitting at home? Spending time within your own four walls? Never getto know foreign cultures? No more vacation stories from your colleagues andneighbors? I don’t know. But the numbers speak for themselves, and our gut feeling confirms that we are living inan imbalance. I donot want people to stop their holidays andto appeal to their conscience with a guilty question, but if I amresponsible for a small degree of thought-provoking, that’s alright with me. For wherever we are, at home orin the distance, the earth rejoices over our mindfulness in dealing with natural resources. We should provide for sustainable entertainment. A wise man once told me, "the perfect cover does not need words". When wedecided to take noone less than the Dalai Lama on the current cover, which isnotself-evident to him, that was oneof the thoughts behind it. Because the Dalai Lama isregarded as authentic, peaceful, compassionate and genuine worldwide. In the times we are experiencing today, a person with such a strong charisma can do quite a lot. Give people hope and confidence. Finally, in the new edition, there were also numerous headings and sublines. For example, the article about the so-called "Blue Zones" by Niko Rittenau. He shows ushowwe can learn from the oldest people on earth how we can stay fit and healthy upinto old age. Or our interview with the mountain adventurer and filmmaker Matto Barfuss, alias Cheetah Man. He lived for 25 weeks in the wilderness of Tanzania among cheetahs. Also, why animal protection is so important for Udo Walz, why Claudelle Deckert had turned her back on leather shoes, and why intensive livestock farming and industrial fishing have tobe abolished – all this and more you will find inthis issue. And on the latter subject, read our article about the UN Ocean Conference in New York, entitled "If the ocean dies, we all die".
