“Clean water is a necessity that we can no longer take for granted. Each year more people die of water related diseases than any other cause of death on this planet. With a higher rate of suffering and mortality than diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, or war; or any two combined for that matter! An entire economy is growing around water. Those without money are suffering the most and risk severe illness from contaminated sources” PeopleYearsTwoWarMatterSufferingDiesCausesWaterEconomyGrowingRiskPlanetsSourceHigherDiseaseCleanRateCancerIllnessGrantedRelatedMortalitySevereDiabetesClean WaterCholesterolHigh Cholesterol Author:Jewel

“If you take the burden of health care, of diseases off the backs of some other countries, it gives them a chance to use their own very limited resources in ways that help their people. And also there's a hopelessness associated with deadly diseases, that if that can be alleviated, people can build their own economies in their own countries and they'll be less reliant on the developed world for help.” PeopleIfsWorldWayGivingCountryHelpingUseCareChanceEconomyDiseaseResourcesBurdenHealth CareOther CountriesHopelessnessLimited ResourcesDeadly Diseases Author:Laura Bush

“People are important too, however, and what a terrible impact a total ban on hunting would have on the rural economy, which is still reeling from the after-effects of foot and mouth disease. With average net farm income having fallen to 5,200 per farm in England and 4,100 in Wales, it seems an act of spiteful vandalism to destroy literally thousands of jobs in deeply rural areas, when it is simply not necessary to do so and where no meaningful alternative employment exists.” PeopleStillsImportantSeemsJobsEconomyFeetEffectsTerribleDiseaseMouthsAreasEnglandImpactAverageMeaningfulIncomeEmploymentAlternativesFallenFarmsHuntingBansWalesSpitefulRural AreasVandalism Author:Ann Winterton

“The great virtue of a diversified food economy, like a diverse pasture or farm, is its ability to withstand any shock. The important thing is that there be multiple food chains, so that when any one of them fails-when the oil runs out, when mad cow or other food-borne diseases become epidemic, when the pesticides no longer work, when drought strikes and plagues come and soils blow away-we'll still have a way to feed ourselves.” WayStillsImportantRunningAbilityEconomyVirtueEnvironmentFailingDiseaseImportant ThingsMadBlowOilStrikesChainsSoilShockFarmsCowsDiverseMultiplePlagueEpidemicsDroughtPasturesFood ChainPesticides Book:The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World Source: The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World
