The Functioning of the Future
When housework and gardening become social activities; when the end of littering and pollution are triumphant campaigns in which the whole population participates; when the planning and construction of a park become a people’s project; then we will be close to the functioning of the future. We will be approaching the style of life where each of us enriches and beautifies our surroundings in everything we do.
