my weird way of thinkin'

Hi!

Hunger and World Poverty:
About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds, as you can see on this display. Unfortunately, it is children who die most often.

Yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone. The problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty. They lack the money to buy enough food to nourish themselves. Being constantly malnourished, they become weaker and often sick. This makes them increasingly less able to work, which then makes them even poorer and hungrier. This downward spiral often continues until death for them and their families.

There are effective programs to break this spiral. For adults, there are “food for work” programs where the adults are paid with food to build schools, dig wells, make roads, and so on. This both nourishes them and builds infrastructure to end the poverty. For children, there are “food for education” programs where the children are provided with food when they attend school. Their education will help them to escape from hunger and global poverty.

Please, check Poverty.com and see how you can contribute to make poverty a thing of the past!

Hi!

I was navigating around the web some point this week and I found this website (click on the image below to get to it) on about how Exxon Mobil manipulates the information provided to the people, and the way their lobbying is working around the globe (if you want to be a quick reader, go to the "Get the Facts" section of the website).

Hi.

We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple.

This is one of the greatest ideas by Greenpeace.
As a Mac fan, I was taken to think about it - a lot.
