Blog Action Day : A post on poverty
Today is Blog Action Day and this year’s subject is poverty. This is important as a sixth of Mankind is living with less than a dollar per day, like this child in Kolkata, India. (image source)
I would like to take the opportunity to remind you of the humanitarian implications of climate change which could bring a billion refugees by 2050. Meanwhile the amount of starving people is increasing.
To the United Nations, rising temperatures would also make matters even worse than they are today in many poor countries So, let us all act now !

Thanks for participating in blog action day. Sustainable solutions like environmental conservation and microfinance can help alleviate poverty.
