Here is a list of global issues that we all must face and work together to solve. Add any issues you think should be there. Like and comment on any feel are important.
Did you know: A plastic cup can take 50 - 80 years to decompose. An estimated 13 billion plastic bottles are disposed of each year.
Did you know that in Australia, on any given night, more than 122,000 people experience homelessness.
Did you know that the world spends about $2 trillion on its militaries — each year. What else could we do with all that money?
Did you know by 2030, more than half of the world’s poor will live in fragile contexts? Did you know that about 63% of people older than 15 who live in extreme poverty have no schooling or only some basic education? And did you know 593 million children are experiencing multidimensional poverty.
Did you know that women and girls make up just over half (50.7 per cent) of the Australian population and while women comprise roughly 47 per cent of all employees in Australia, they take home on average $251.20 less than men each week (full-time adult ordinary earnings). According to statistics, the national gender “pay gap” is 15.3 per cent and it has remained stuck between 15 per cent and 19 per cent for the past two decades.
