In this website there is a world map were you can see how many people are born or die in total or in each country in that moment. We can know how is the standard of living in each country and you can also watch how many CO2 is produced by each country. In this way you know how the world is and we think that is a good way to aware people of the state of the world.

In my name (Javi & Aitor)

I think that nowadays there are a lot of problems in the world, but the main is that the mayority of people don't care about them. Surely, if everyone worked and took part in the rebuilding of a better world, it would be much easier to achieve it.

After making people aware, we all need to work hard with the purpose of ending with the poverty, hunger and injustice. For that, it isn't enough to give money or clothes to poor people, it's also important that we ourselves work to defend and respect each other.

We don't need to work thinking about very big objectives, we have to start the change in our daily acts. It would be better the help you give a person with problems in your school or work place than trying to help people in Africa who you don't know.

In my name (xabi and gorka)

I think that nowadays, one of the biggest problem the world has is the enormous poverty which affects more than a half of the total population. However, there are some things people could do to solve the problem. For example, if everyone really wanted to change the situation surely the problem would be solved in a few years.
In my name I would like poverty to be completely beaten . This is a problem of underdeveloped countries but the solution must come fron developed ones and from their citizens and politicians from it.

In my name (Néstor)

I think that the biggest problem the world has is the extreme poverty that affects to more than the half of the world's population. If we achieve eliminating world's poverty, consequently hunger will disappear, every child will be able to have a primary education and also everybody could gain access to a public health system.

I think that there are a lot of governments that don't want to eradicate poverty because they don't do anything and also big organizations exist like the religious ones such us the Catholic Church, which has millions and millions of euros, and although they supposedly spread equality between all people and give help to poor people, they don't really do anything to finish with this big problem.
