That global poverty line figure of $1.90 per day was increased from $1.25 per day in 2015. It's hard to think how anyone could live on so little.

I think if we traced back to the source of all that comes into our homes, we might be shocked about how it's grown/made and the impacts that its production has on the Earth, people and animals.

I just love the whole atmosphere of it all and what it all stands for. <br /><br />I'm glad I read that link as I will admit that I really just hadn't thought about the process. Really does make me think now.<br /><br />Kylieadminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960658275681011090noreply@blogger.com
