BOYCOTT CHINESE GOODS!

OPPOSE THE CHINESE OCCUPATION OF TIBET. Many toys, shoes, cheap machine tools, Christmas decorations, stuffed animals, etc. appear on a  first glance at their packaging to have originated in the EU, but were in fact made by Tibetans in Chinese labour camps.

"I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's my favourite website out of all the many on this great big Internet that I've come across. Spend some wonderful hours laughing, being informed, being touched and travelling over the place. The Internet at its very best. Hummingtree

"I still think your 10,000 Things website is one of the best!!" Mike at Ethical Wares

"I recommend anyone interested in high quality and / or critical thought to visit the semi-official website of 10,000 Things, a British rock group. The site is also devoted to an idiosyncratic range of subjects including the Scottish writer Neil Gunn, VW Camper vans, wood burning stoves, Tibet, the environment, Zen and, of course, Robert Pirsig).” Anthony McWatt, Department of Philosophy, University of Liverpool.

"Something for everyone", John Spendlove  

"Interesting pages. I am a big Pirsig fan. Keep up the good work!" Dave Stobbart

"Refreshingly un-corporate site! Great photos & links! Good luck to 'the lads'" Jake Jackson

"Very interesting personal stuff on there. Blessings 'n' stuff.... Fascinating website. Very cool". Mal at Radish

"I dig the site and regularly have a peek at it" Adam Killip

"I thought the Tibet page was very detailed & well informed". John Hutchin, Fundraising Manager, Free Tibet  

Every year in Britain, more than 850 million animals face the barbarity of slaughter, many fully conscious. Most spend their short, brutal lives in confinement, pain and misery. Viva!

Each year in the US, 27 billion animals have their throats cut and their bodies chopped into pieces. PETA

North America has 4% of the world's population, but is responsible for 25% of all the pollution that causes climate change.

"We've sunk so much of our national wealth into a particular way of doing things that we're psychologically compelled to defend it even if it drives us crazy and kills us." More

"The things that will destroy us are politics without principle, pleasure without conscience, wealth without work, knowledge without character, business without morality, science without humanity and worship without sacrifice." Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948).

Affluenza, n. a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more.

“For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the ‘more with less’ technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option to become enduringly successful.” R. Buckminster Fuller 1980

There is a school of thought that with web sites, etc., "less is more". It's very valid, but this site has taken a change of direction and it's been turning into a virtual bookcase, if not a small library. It's stuffed with think-links & thought-ports and you might easily wander away from here into the think-forest and we might not see you for days, but we'd like to think you'll get back to us soon, even if it's just as a starting point from which to take more excursions, day after day, night after night.....
