Some facts

One day I found an article, that mentioned a new term for me -"The Global South", which basically comprises the nations of Africa, Central and Latin America, and most of Asia. There were also some interesting facts connected to our project, that made me think again.

1.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water2.4 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation

The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 KM (do you remember the game "Weight of water"??)

In developing countries, 91 children out of 1,000 die before their fifth birthday

Of the 6 billion people in today's world, 1.2 billion live below $1 per day (how much could you by for this amount in sociaety where you live right now?)

The amount of money that the richest 1% of the world's people make each day equals what the poorest 57% make each year

It made me realize, how blessed we should by having all this huge amount of things and food and water in our taps! What do you think?

Energy saving - what about you?

Today I had to do a homework and I was looking through some advertising magazine and found this really nice ad about saving energy(take a look at it, funny isn't it?:).

We had discussions during exchange about saving water and had possibilities to come up with ways, how not to waste it.

Does anybody of you has effective and creative suggestion on how to save energy(with this I mean mostly - electricity) on daily basis?

Leave your ideas right here:)
