\u201cA year after completing the bicycle marathon to Australia, Timo is twenty-two and sitting in a class on globalisation along with Sophie Hinger and nine other students at Maastricht. They\u2019re discussing, in fluent English, at what point people are prepared to economize on their standard of living for the sake of the environment. Timo says, \u2018People in the Netherlands are an example of individuals behaving in an environmentally conscious way, because they know that if global warming continues, their country could be flooded. That\u2019s not an entirely selfless reason.\u2019 Sophie says, \u2018So what? It doesn\u2019t matter why people change their behaviour. The main thing is that they change it\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Jan-Martin Wiarda, \u201eDenn das Gute liegt so nah\u201c, Die Zeit, 28 February 2008<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
