Making Our World A Better Place

The millennium development goals are:
- Eradicating poverty and hunger
- Achieving universal primary education
- Promoting gender equality
- Reducing child mortality
- Improving maternal health
- Combating disease
- Ensuring environmental sustainability
- Developing a global partnership
In this blog post, I will be focusing on ensuring enviromental sustainability. Ensuring enviromental sustainability basically means that we must use our resources wisely in order to achieve sustainable development. Poor people living in LEDC’s have mostly subsistence economies, and are the ones that are most affected by environmental degradation and natural disasters. MEDC’s especially have got to start using their resources wisely. Even though the countries make enviromental laws, big TNC’s always seem to somehow find ways around those rules. On top of that, nowadays, the TNC’s are going to LEDC’s where there is much fewer enviromental laws and more cheap labor. Now, they are also destroying the land and using up all the natural resources of other countries as well.
Some ways to try and achieve enviromental sustainability is for the governments all over the world, including LEDC’s to create very effective and good enviromental laws. Also, they should build more nature preserves and parks. Governments should try and switch more to alternative energy sources and not rely so much on only sources such as oil, gas, etc.

hey))
I agree with the idea that TNCs go to LEDCs all the time to invest and also using all the resources.
However, How can you personally do to help to achieve sustainable development?

With its 7-cup work bowl, 600 watts of power, and slicing and shredding discs, this food processor is ideal for most households. It kneads 1-1/2 pounds of bread or pastry dough, chops 1 pound of meat, emulsifies a perfect mayonnaise or salad dressing, and chops, slices, or shreds vegetables, nuts, cheese, and bread crumbs. The plastic work bowl is shatterproof and resists both heat and cold. A single fingertip control turns the processor on and off and pulses for precise work. All parts go safely into the dishwasher. With work bowl in place, the processor measures 7 by 12-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches. It carries a five-year warranty against motor defects and a three-year warranty against other defects.

Cars and houses are expensive and not everyone can buy it. Nevertheless, credit loans are created to help different people in such kind of hard situations.
