- 0:04Speaker 1: Okay, Andreas. Andreas Darchiman. He's going to tell a little tale,
- 0:10Speaker 1: an environmental tale, and share his wonderfulness. He's a senior executive.
- 0:16Speaker 1: He's running a big company. And we have a lovely
- 0:21Speaker 1: lady with him who does charitable artwork and so.
- 0:25Speaker 2: On and so forth.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Here's a mic.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Have fun. Enjoy. Thank you so much, Paul. Hello, New York.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Great to see you. We're going to try something a
- 0:33Speaker 2: little different. We're going to do what's like a fairy tale,
- 0:36Speaker 2: but a sustainable fairy tale, a sustainable. So let me start.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Once upon a time, on the first day of spring,
- 0:46Speaker 2: that's chapter one, the children woke up early, as they
- 0:50Speaker 2: often do. Little Zoe reached the meadow first, still wet
- 0:55Speaker 2: with morning dew. She waited for her favorite sound, the
- 0:59Speaker 2: bumblebee's buzz, but no sound came round. No bees, no birds,
- 1:05Speaker 2: no butterflies. The meadow stood still. Something was missing from
- 1:11Speaker 2: here all the way to the hill. You'd think the
- 1:15Speaker 2: grownups would have realized it upon sight, but adults are
- 1:19Speaker 2: busy from morning until night. With jobs to do and
- 1:23Speaker 2: places to be, the adults hurried past the empty fields
- 1:27Speaker 2: too quickly to see. The children stood in empty parks,
- 1:32Speaker 2: meadows silent and still, sensing something was wrong, something they
- 1:39Speaker 2: had noticed all along. Then children did what children do
- 1:45Speaker 2: when they needed a clue. They started asking questions, as
- 1:49Speaker 2: children tend to do. At breakfast, Zoe asked her papa,
- 1:58Speaker 2: Where did all the bees go? Her papa tried to answer,
- 2:02Speaker 2: but said he just didn't know. At school, she asked
- 2:06Speaker 2: her teacher, where did all the birds go? Her teacher
- 2:10Speaker 2: tried to answer, but she said she did not know.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Then after school, she asked Granny, Granny, where did all
- 2:19Speaker 2: the butterflies go? To which Granny got a far away
- 2:23Speaker 2: look in her wise old eyes. When I was young,
- 2:28Speaker 2: her granny said, I remember still, the skies were full
- 2:31Speaker 2: of bees and birds and butterflies on every hill. With
- 2:36Speaker 2: no trees of bees, birds, and butterflies in the sky,
- 2:41Speaker 2: Granny broke down completely and began to cry. Granny, you
- 2:47Speaker 2: should know, was part of what the media call the
- 2:50Speaker 2: silent majority, the biggest group of all. Billions were blessed
- 2:55Speaker 2: by the conveniences of modern industry, kind and friendly folks,
- 3:00Speaker 2: and even though they saw, smelled, and tolerated pollution, they
- 3:03Speaker 2: remained silent, one and all. To be silent seems so safe, polite,
- 3:09Speaker 2: and yet so easy too. So no one said a
- 3:12Speaker 2: single word, and that's why pollution grew. Two centuries of
- 3:18Speaker 2: quiet let it climb and rise to levels that were
- 3:21Speaker 2: dangerous right before our very eyes. Page two. If there's
- 3:33Speaker 2: one thing being feared by the industries, politicians, and the
- 3:36Speaker 2: media that smog, scheme, and dirty spit, it was the
- 3:40Speaker 2: day the silent majority would find its voice and project it.
- 3:45Speaker 2: But not today. Granny grabbed her phone. This time, instead
- 3:50Speaker 2: of playing Candy Crush, she filmed one minute of her garden,
- 3:54Speaker 2: no birds, no bees, no butterflies, and texted to her
- 3:58Speaker 2: neighbor in a rush. The neighbor listened to this perfect still.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Then he shared it with a farmer on the hill.
- 4:06Speaker 2: The farmer shared it and traveled far and wide. Then
- 4:10Speaker 2: to a nurse, a baker, a candlestick maker, who all
- 4:14Speaker 2: passed it on with pride. It didn't reach just hundreds.
- 4:19Speaker 2: It reached into the millions, embracing the whole planet with it.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Social media scrammed to drown the truth like a rat. Fake!
- 4:30Speaker 2: Bees are bad for business. Flowers are over-related. Hey, everybody,
- 4:34Speaker 2: look over here. A funny video of a cat. Social
- 4:38Speaker 2: media's great power was now plain as plain could be.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Their power was never the Internet. Their power was the
- 4:45Speaker 2: silence of the people on it to a very large degree.
- 4:49Speaker 2: And now that silence was over, and it had found
- 4:51Speaker 2: its voice. In the Capitol, the politicians saw a tsunami
- 4:56Speaker 2: of millions of texts. It's time, they said. to craft
- 4:59Speaker 2: new laws, to protect and sustain Mother Nature next. Now
- 5:04Speaker 2: the great sustaining didn't happen in a day. Great things
- 5:08Speaker 2: never usually do. You know, they grow a slower way.
- 5:12Speaker 2: It's a tale of smoky industries that learn to run
- 5:15Speaker 2: a cleaner way, of politicians passing laws for good, and
- 5:19Speaker 2: of media that finally told the truth about our lands today.
- 5:23Speaker 2: And the story ends where it began, out in the meadow,
- 5:27Speaker 2: where little Zoe watches a lovely scene, a bee lands
- 5:31Speaker 2: on a flower. Zoe holds her breath, and then the
- 5:34Speaker 2: bee buzzed. And to answer that age-old question, to be
- 5:41Speaker 2: or not to be, the answer is, there will always
- 5:45Speaker 2: be bees, thanks to Zoe and Granny. Thank you very much.
- 5:54Speaker 2: This is Yana Niggin with RAP. Andreas Deutschmann with Avalon Securities.
