This is a book about faces in everyday objects. It is also a book about planting trees – since 100% of the profits will be donated to a tree-planting charity. Most of all, however, this is a book about discovering and using one’s personal tools and abilities for something that matters. The quality of these pages is not in what they display, how they look, or what they generate, but rather it is in what they represent: turning something trivial into a method of action. This is our planet, this is our future, and this is our chance to design it the way we want it to be. The trick is to not succumb to the overwhelming helplessness we are confronted with, but to do what we understand as right and towards that which we care about. We don’t all have to take the exact same measures, such as eating vegan or cycling to work – but we should all do something – since everyone can make a difference.
