Alright already! Everybody knows that hunger and poverty are serious issues, but it's the millennium, no it’s past the millennium and we still can't figure out how to solve it. We can put a man on the moon, but we can't help developing countries get food? Hate to sound played, but it's true.

Write your ideas for solving these problems and you could win a trip to NYC and go to a fancy UN gala with world leaders and such.

TO WIN: answer this Q in 600 words or less, "What can I do to help ensure the success of the MDGs?" and send it in to NetAid by Sept. 19th. For all the details go to: http://www.netaid.org/groups/news/news_item.pt?article_id=1143&group_id=848

P.S. MDG's are the world leaders fancy way of saying "reducing poverty and improving lives".

we should. with a little reasearch, and contribution from neo-techno inovational ideas; we could do this... don't you think?

we put a man on the moon!

money and insurance, from a business aspect, are the only things holding us down. (why spend all this money? why contribute anything at all? nothing is in it for us after all).

the private sector ironically makes it illogic to help others in need of help.

i have no answers right now caerat for this plan; but lets keep this thread alive o.k., because this can only spawn good ideas.

we would put these houses in areas around the effected poverty levels. we WOULD need soil, and clean water. how can we distill salt water was my first conflict with this idea. we gotta do some research on this whole matter, but nothing is impossible. nothing. petro.

I'm going to enter. I need to lose at soimething so I become less arrogant.

You've got a good idea there. Maybe we could do what those scientists do and make the crops grow fast and big in the green houses.
But we'll need to import LOTS of good soil for them to grow niceley and I'm not sure exactly where we'd put these houses. maybe you and i should start something and figure this all out.lol no really i mean it

solar powered greenhouse organic farms. it costs a half million dollars to build a self-sustaining, efficiently run, solar powered building. $500,000.

you could have fish ponds, crops of every fruit and vegetable, chicken huts, etc. a quasi biodome if you will. the third world has an over abundance of the resource. (sun that is). you could feed a large area for less than the price of one smart bomb.
