Daily Waste

I am humbled by the sheer amount of waste that one human can produce. When I get up I brush my teeth and shower. There goes gallons and gallons of water down the drain. Not to mention I flush the toilet around 4 or 5 times a day, wasting more water in the process. I waste large quantities of uneaten food after each meal. I constantly have lights on and burn electricity without even thinking about it. My waste quantities are gigantic and I do not want to even think about my terrible impact on world sustainibility.

The Value of Money

Money means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, money is everything. They dedicate their lives and base every decision solely on aquiring it. For others, money is an afterthought. Those living in third world countries are trying to survive, busy gathering food and water in order to see the next day. What does a dollar do for someone that has no where to spend it? In these cultures a paper dollar bill has about as much worth as toilet tissue. Money will only be valued if people choose to back it up and value it. Economies and political personal need control and respect and the only way they get this is through creating a universal currency.
