The story of the evolution of the ostrich is symbolic of #terran and the life philosophy of “traveling without flying”.
It was simply unnecessary for the ostrich to fly to escape its enemies. So it transformed itself from a flying machine into a running machine.

Why terran?
A new word to describe a sustainable and future-proof way of travelling. No other decision on consumption is easier and faster to protect the climate. You’ll get on well with it!
Go terran!
Become part of the terran movement – as it suits you: as a European-terran, as a World-terran, or in your home country. And best would be you share the terran idea with others. Most importantly, we move something together and make a difference – by staying on the ground.
