In 2020, I see getting paid as much as men. I see many job opportunities opened up for them. They don't get discriminated any longer because of their gender. There also won't be any more cases that involve abusive husband and mistreatment from them because of acts and laws prohibiting them from doing so. Men appreciate women much more now! :D

I think it's a great idea to spread the word if you, personally, can't do it. Twitter and Facebook comes in great use at a time like this. Just by donating a few dollars once a month, you can change someone's lives.

Can you believe it? "If you can raise $30 USD, you can buy 500 bricks to build one classroom wall for a new girl's science lab in Uganda" Just thirty dollars and you and build one classroom wall? Just imagine what you could do with $150? I'm sure everyone could raise that much.… Continue

" Mexico became the first country on

Thursday to launch a national version of the United Nations-led "Blue

Heart" campaign against human trafficking, which is regarded as one of

the most lucrative forms of illegal activity for criminal groups." http://www.newkerala.com/news/fullnews-91117.html



I think that is the number one.. NUMBER ONE!!! step in order for men and… Continue

I just had the craziest idea. The act for mission 5 DID say that we have to come up with some sort of BREAKING news. So here's what I thought up. What if the entire world used the same currency? What would happen? If one country has a recession, the other countries could help out.

Bartering is such a great idea! In return of some kind of service, you can get what you want! That's genius! I never thought something that simple would be such a great idea. I mean even if they're small issues, I guess I could say that I barter every day? In return of something precious like money, I traded my time to help my mom buy groceries or do house chores. Not a bad idea... Not a bad idea at all.

Unfortunately, I can actually see the world's downfall if this recession progresses. Most people think that adding more money to the country would make us richer, but that causes an inflation. I think the best way to get money flowing would be opening buildings that give people work to do, even if it's minimum wage an hour. Less people are homeless and it circulates the currency in the country. Further more, we can even build materials that other countries want and we can sell it to them.

I think the world`s largest toilet line is really creative. I think that's the best idea. No matter how hard I think, I just can't come up with anything creative. Probably something similar to an aids walk? Instead it would be a water walk. Walking for clean water. Haha

I think if I was an agent, I would want to build an irrigation system to the countries that don't have access to clean water. The pipes would be underground so it won't awkwardly stick out and be a hindrance to the environment.

Wow, I think this is a GREAT idea, and I'm not being sarcastic. If only we could install this around the world where people can't afford plumping. It's a smart and environmental. Kids can play all day long and it would save the adults from one more task to do.

After reading all these important

people that strive to change the world for the better, I found an

article on Nepal. They're changing by using solar energy to cook. BBC

hosted a competition that challenged social innovators. Sanu Kaji from

Nepal, along with his organization, was a top three finalist. his

project consisted of cooking without gas. I think this is a great idea

but it would only work for countries that have a higher percentage of

the sun's… Continue

At home, in my bathroom, there's a big window that lets you look up into the sky. Therefore, sunlight comes in. In order to save electricity, I usually shower before the sun sets. It's actually very helpful. I mean, if there's a way for you to save electricity or energy, why not do it? Sure it'd be new at first but when you get use to it, it comes naturally. Also, wouldn't you rather finish your homework while the sun is out? Not only do you save energy, but you get free afterward. If you set a… Continue

It's a lovely day today! Today is a special day for my family. We would usually leave this day empty or cancel all plans. Usually we start the day off with a picnic under the cherry blossoms. With the sun's ray shining down on us,we have plenty of light. Throughout the day, we have many fun activities if people want to play. Or we can sit on the blankets and chat away. Instead of bring plastic plates and cups, we think about the environment so we bring thermoses and non-disposable plates. We… Continue

I think the best way to help food security is to volunteer. Get a bunch of volunteers who want to change for the better. Then assign them with tasks that help garden veggies in houses. Veggies is the most convenient way to grow food. It doesn't require a lot of maintenance like animals and it doesn't take up space. Afterward, we can set up a food market to sell those veggies to markets. And if this continues, the market can use the people's veggies and in return, the people make money.

Though I've never seen any homeless person where I live, I've seen them in Flushing. They sleep in corners or just out in the open. Sometimes in the corner of the library. Not only are homeless people in NY but around the country as well. I think it's a great achievement that there are organization that help improve their lifestyles. They're not walking for them, but paving a path for them to walk themselves. For example, \a lot of low income families do handicraft work and sell it for 1-5… Continue

Global Social Benefit Incubator is a organization who wants to change the world for the better. Gregorie Perez was one of 2009's winner. Poverty has hit many places. And for families and people would love income, they make a living by handicrafts and other livelihood products. Gifts and Graces Fair Trade if s foundation in the Philippines. It provides product development assistance and training which will help them improve in their work.

These are the two secrets which stood out to me first.

• "Don’t fight culture (If people cook by stirring their stews, they’re not going to use a solar oven, no matter what you do to market it. Make them a better stove instead.)"
  
  

• "What you have matters more than what you lack (If you’ve got a bicycle, consider what you can build based on that, rather than worrying about not having a car, a truck, a metal shop.)"

I feel that it's important for… Continue

I'm at the airport. I just arrived in Tokyo. Still waiting for my company to pick me up. I got a little meal because the food on the plane wasn't exactly.. appetizing. I bought a chicken salad and a water bottle. It tastes really good despite it being from a mini market store in the airport. It surprised me when I saw the price. I mean, I don't mind because it was yummy to eat but I think because of the crisis in Japan, all the food prices are raised up. Even though it has not raised to an… Continue

In 2020, I will be traveling the around the world. Wherever the chain

of hotels take me. I'll be working in the lines of hospitality

management. My job is visiting our chain of hotels, checking if sales

are going well and customers are content. It's also easier for me to

get my job done because when Alchemy calls, I can transfer, without

making things look suspicious. I work with a small group that travels

together. I often leave before everyone else and arrive to… Continue
