» Ikea to sell solar panels?

“Efforts to commercialize new and affordable green technologies within several years could lead to IKEA selling the resulting products among its growing collection of stores, currently 283 in more than 30 nations. The goods reportedly would relate to energy in the form of solar panels, efficiency meters, and lighting; as well as more sustainable materials, and water treatment and conservation.”

“

The word ‘ubuntu’ has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa, and is seen as a traditional African concept. It is to say, ‘My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in yours.’ We belong in the bundle of life. We say, ‘A person is a person through other persons.’ It is not, ‘I think therefore I am.’ It is rather: ‘I am human because I belong, I participate, I share.’

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed, or treated as if they were less than who they are.
