"Once upon a time, a man came up with the idea of making people more responsible towards nature. And what can have a bigger impact on kids than a forest-like double-decker? Meet the magical bus where the journey takes place. It has an unusual yet practical purpose : making the children more aware about the value of wilderness and the impact of human activity upon them and how they can help the nature."

Earth the ultimate curer

"Centuries of research and numberless medical breakthroughs! After all of this, you would expect that medicine can guarantee an increased life expectancy and a reliable treatment for each disease. Surprisingly, drugs and pills seem to be more our executioner than our healers!"
