He believes that rather than always asking for donations, it was better to form this small
business. His goal is to support environmental education in Tibet.
He also believes that the environmental issue is not the
responsibility of only a certain kind of group or individual. It is
more the responsibility of every sentient being, which is why he
choose the Tibetan Ecology
Foundation's motto as Protecting the planet one
conscience at time.
