I wonder if that is true? He puts more stock in natural biological systems than in man-made technologies. <p align="center"><img src="http://www.gmtplusnine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/one_straw_revolution_introduction.png" /></p> I recommend his book "One Straw Revolution," which you can get online from Australia for free <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.soilandhealth.org/copyform.aspx?bookcode=010140.fukuoka" rel="nofollow"><u>here</u></a>. It's a famous book, I'll bet it's published in Dutch too. Thanks for stopping by. It always makes my day when you visit. Regards, Bryan Hi Sjors,

If you see that the performence of the simple rechargable penlight battery has improved from 1300 mAh to 2700 mAh in 5 years, I think this improvement in technology must be applied to button cells too. Cheers, Sjors Hi Brian,
