If nobody cares if you starve to death then it’s hard for you to care about anything or anyone. Extreme poverty is not just a problem for the extremely poor but as it’s a major cause of social and political unrest, crime, drug addiction and the spread of diseases like TB and AIDS, it’s a problem for everyone.
The only way to really ensure the health and safety of you and your loved ones is to ensure the health and safety of everyone on the planet – and their loved ones.
