I really think that the hazard and the reaction of the people are often different things. In most cases the outrage is much higher than the hazard. I think, responsible for that are often the journalists. The article about covering risks…

Only with this fair trade currency, it is possible to conduct international trade. Before the states can trade, they have to purchase this new fair trade currency from the World Bank. The course to obtain the new currency will depend on the GDP. States with low GDP get more marks for less. States with high GDP have to pay more for the same…

I used
http://www.kiva.org and helped a man from Armenia to buy potato seedlings to sow. It was amazing how easy it is to help people with their individual problems. It also was a very nice experience.
