http://www.indianglobalcelebrities.bl... click this link 4 more An 86-year-old Yorkshire man, Brendon Grimshaw may have lived alone for many years on the tiny island paradise of Moyenne in the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean since he bought it in 1962 for £8000, but he is rarely lonely.

For Brendon has spent the years reintroducing the indigenous giant tortoise to Moyenne and now shares the island with 120 of the magnificent creatures, on one of the world's smallest national parks.

The BBC's Simon Reeve went to visit him.

If ONE man can recover a small island, and create a small haven for its indigenous creatures, imagine what Humanity could do to all the places that are in risk of disappearing, depleted, or even gone... If only the will of the many could beat the greed of the few.. then certainly, We would live in a better world!

Sure it was a extreme response. So is assuming one old mans island is the answer to several world problems and the overpopulation myth.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with farming in the servitude of a king.

Living for yourself is possible. Yep, not everyone can do it. We have too many people. That doesn't mean it only exists as a dream.

[Xankara98]

Read the post I replied to. They suggest something that only exists in a dream, while I tell them the reality of that.

[VitriolicAC]

nobody is saying that

stop making yourself mad

[Xankara98]

Yeah, maybe we can reintroduce kings and all live on farms you idiot.

[Tyler Durden]

Now that's a real man. Probably didn't eat the garbage food people eat and probably wasn't on 'prescription meds' like folks here in america. Let's all agree to go back to this lifestyle. Forget money, live in harmony with the world you've been placed in, not destroy it for financial profit. Freedom, GO!
