  1. Hi Mrs Shari Arison,

    I admire you for your desire to make this planet a better one.

    Yes I do believe we need to use natural resources more.

    It should benefit all mankind.

    We as a family have a small store in Germany near Stuttgart.

    We sell product from Israel & the Orient.

    For south a small store it is very difficult to survive.

    We need help. Would you be willing?

    Shalom

    Vera & Franz Laslo
