This website answers the question "Why Go Green" that many people might have. It has a few basic statistics that prove why it is so essential. If we don't change our lifestyles we might be destroying the ultimate home for future generations.

A Private-Sector Solution to Poverty - 0 views

  Mark Skousen uses a Searcher approach to solving poverty. Instead of useless charitable donations, he proposes breaking the World Bank down into self employed institutions. Individuals borrow money with specified limits. If the borrower defaults, then he must be reducated in the borrowing process and repayment process. The only negative aspect about this is that these lending agents act like a Cash-n-Go and the interest is very high at over 18%.

Another organization targeting individuals to give money to those in need. The biggest problem with these organizations is their integrity. Many times, a majority of the money a person donates will go to the organization an dnot the needy. How can we refine the system?

The economic situation is affecting healthcare in Zimbabwe. Food prices are going up, making it harder for mothers to provide good nutrition for their children. There are not enough funds for supplies and personnel, and doctors and nurses cannot be paid fair wages.

Interesting video that looks at NGO's and how they have in treated the African people that they support with their own programs that they think will benefit the people and not what the people themselves believe that they need. Also it says that one NGO in Ghana asked a girl to cry for a video they were making, in order to help raise more money, but that money did not even go to that girl/her people.
