Hunger in East Africa or the madness in which we live

Image
The word for Sunday, 30 July 2011 spoken by Dr Adelheid Ruck-Schröder   Twelve million people are starving in the Horn of Africa. A few of them could be saved at the last minute. But even the peanut butter solution ten tons of emergency aid for small children were in no time at the mercy of violent militias. It also leaves us with a bitter taste. The misery in Somalia is older than the emaciated children who stare at us in recent days with blank stares. We know many of us have donated.. That's a good thing. There is an obligation to help needy ado. But there is also a duty to look long at long term solutions. Who really is the misery of mercy, more than a charitable gift. He looks closely and examining the causes for this gigantic famine. I for one am somewhat naive calm with a donation. And many of us feel that way. But what we see draws us so-called donor countries themselves into the tragedy in the Horn of Africa: With the hunger business is done. That is the bitter truth.

Planetary Emergency

        Agenda 2022 How we can save the Planet and Live in Peace & Harmony The benefits of development are not shared equitably and the gap between rich and poor is widening . Injustice, poverty, ignorance, and violent conflict are widespread and the cause of great suffering. The dominant patterns of production and consumption are causing environmental devastation, the depletion of resources, and a massive extinction of species. We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of the human family and the larger living world. Respect Earth and life in all its diversity Care for the community of life with understanding, compassion, and love.   Build democrat

That’s why we’ve worked hard to be carbon neutral as a company, launched our renewable energy cheaper than coal initiative and have invested in several clean energy companies and projects around the world. But what if we knew the value of innovation in clean energy technologies? How much could new technologies contribute to our economic growth, enhance our energy security or reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Robust data can help us understand these important questions, and the role innovation in clean energy could play in addressing our future economic, security and climate challenges. Through Google.org, our energy team set out to answer some of these questions. Using McKinsey’s Low Car
