Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it’s an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential. Still, nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life.
Things to do
- Find a Goal 2 charity you want to support. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference!
- Don’t waste food. Freeze fresh produce and leftovers if you don’t have the chance to eat them before they go bad.
- Consume less meat and become vegetarian for one day a week. The meat production industry has a huge impact on the environment.
- Buy local and in-season food. Try to grow some of your own food.
- Buy Funny Fruit—many fruits and vegetables are thrown out because their size, shape, or color are not “right”. Buying these perfectly good funny fruit, utilizes food that might otherwise go to waste.
