    Charles was a professor with a huge house and a fortune. Today he lives in a small caravan where there is only second hand furniture. There are no signs that he was a rich man. He gets his clothes and other things from charity shops.
This change is not a tragedy. Charles was happy to give the lifestyle of a rich man. He was tired of being a person who had everything and many people have nothing. He made the choice to give all his money away. He says it has brought him happiness. “A few years ago,” says Charles, “I was a millionaire, but I knew there were a lot of hungry people in the world.” So, he gave away all his money to charities. When he had some left, he gave away small banknotes in the streets of local poor areas.
Charles believes that many people want to earn a lot of money so that they will not have any worries. However, most people never make much money. He decided to drop out and has discovered that having only a little money makes you free. Are there any things he misses? “No, I’m much happier now. I wouldn’t go back to being rich for anything – no way.”

    Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain collections of interesting items rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals in captivity – bored, lonely and far from their natural homes.
Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learnt anything meaningful about their natural behaviour, intelligence or beauty.
