Last week my aunt and uncle from Switzerland, Emma and Hanseuli Huber, came for a visit.

Actually, they arrived in Canada in mid August, but first went touring in the Rockies.

Anyhow, last Thursday we went to a place called Cathedral Grove. It’s a park in the middle of Vancouver Island where lots of the old-growth Douglas Fir and Yellow Cedar Trees are found.

I took a picture of them in the forest, and one in front of one of the trees. I actually had to take three pictures just to get the whole tree in! This afternoon, I was looking at them, and thought to myself what an awesome job nature does of optimization.

All living matter on earth has been optimized over millenia to survive and flourish.

Nature weeds out the weak over time. That’s optimization!

These trees (and the massive Giant Redwoods in California) are truly inspiring.

If you’ve never seen these types of trees before - here’s an example that I just pasted together quickly.

Each time there’s a natural disaster around the world, I pause for a moment to think; how can I help? What can we do?

Unfortunately, our business can’t tangibly offer much immediate help to the victim’s of Katrina, or the Tsunami last year, etc… But we can, and do help charitable organizations all the time via projects such as FCIP, and a new one we’re starting with shortly; the Good Homes Foundation .

Today I was reading Rick Segal’s blog entry Doing good by Doing Good, and realized that while our services don’t have anything to offer the victims as benefits immediately, we can help those who can.

So I’m asking any of you who can help Rick get Genesis’s products to storm victims to do so.

They want to help rebuild, and are not looking to make a profit on the venture.
