A crash course in changing the world.
Change is the word that springs to mind when one thinks about the last 10 years.
The process was slow,and took many years to gain pace, but the work eventually paid off. Women now have a better chance at having a good life. A life where discrimination against women is frowned upon, instead of being the norm.
Changes have been made to the areas in the world that once placed women down at the bottom of the…

I looked at the WomenWatch website and, sure enough, I was drawn to a story.
It focuses on 25 year old Naseeba who lives in Pakistan. She is beaten by her abusive, drug-addicted husband who claims he wants to kill his wife for 'honor', and he began spreading lies she was with another man.
Naseeba ran to Lahore with her 3…

I think the biggest change in relation to how we see and treat money is its increased transferable-ness and accessability by younger people. With money coming into the hands of younger and younger people, our economy as a wh*** has become more vunerable because the younger spenders are those spenders that spend it on 'wants' - rather on 'needs'.
Increased mobile phone use is generally not for need. It seems nowadays it is…

At first I was stumped; so I did what anyone called Amber Sofia would do.
I cheated.
Well... Kinda?
See, I have travelled a lot. I have used so many different currencies it's not funny. I have haggled with dirhams in Dubai, donated Australian dollars to charities, and bought bread with euros.
So I was running out of currencies to…

So I know one needs both logic and creativity.
The way I see it there is enough logic and knowledge floating around the workspaces of today.
So I want to focus on a way of increasing creativity in adults much to the creativity levels children posess. However; one difference should ultimately exist between the creativity that the adults will posess in relation to a children's creativity: the naive…

About 70% of the planet is covered with ocean.
Around 97.2% of the earth's water is salt water.
We are facing a water crisis in many third and second world countries. In the near future the water crisis could spread into the more advanced nations; especially with the growing population. With such a small amount of water actually available and drinkable,…

You blog. I blog. We all blog.

March 10, 2020.
7pm.
My house.
I'm at home. I grabbed some takeaway on the way home from work - just the usual - organic stir fry with some free range chicken. It tastes ok, not as great as my food though. Although the food is concious of the origins of its ingredients, I cannot help noticing the fat content is relatively high. I check the nutrition information which I find within…

How to increase food security for someone is a... difficult mission considering healthy/safe food is available where I live. Organic food is available in the supermarket, but not everyone buys it due to its crazy price.
So my contributions to the mission were to
-Raise awareness aboutorganic food
-Contact the major supermarkets in relation to their pricing…

Ultimately? It could take any…

Never let the child within you die.
Michelle's post [http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/the-secret-or-the-forgotten] made me stop and think. How much are we missing out on? As one goes through the education system not enough emphasis is placed upon creativity. As adults, playful, more individual ideas are often dismissed as 'childish' or…

People everywhere are creating more energy efficient ways to do things. Just everyday people. A friend of my dad recently bought himself a new 4x4, in which he then had the engine converted to run on leftover oil from fast food chains [i.e. McDonalds]. I’m sure people have done this before, but the wh*** concept…

''At any given time, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water-related disease.''
''Every 15 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.'' -That's four children dying per minute, or around 240 children dead every hour.
I don't care how many people have already blogged about it; it's absolutely amazing. […
