A Paragraph to Ponder

From The Water Network:

"Consider this: There are some 800 million undernourished people in the world today, according to the United Nations. In addition, some 1.2 billion people live in areas of physical water scarcity, while another 1.6 billion people simply don’t have the infrastructure to drink safe water. The World Economic Forum says that water and food scarcity are the biggest risks facing the global community, and are at the root of a range of global health problems—malnutrition, disease, poverty, and regional violence not least among them. The world doesn’t need another Snapchat. (And no, you’re not morally inferior to anyone because you care about Snapchat.) The world needs healthier, sustainable, scalable ways of surviving. Increasing investments in the life sciences is an important step toward that goal."
