How brave Children walk to School around the World
It is easy to believe that we have it hard when the alarm rings for work or school early in the morning each day. But as these pictures show, it's worth a lot to have a normal and safe way to our daily activities...
Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision says: "Every day, around the world, we're seeing the power of education to transform communities. For instance, girls who spend seven years in school marry on average four years later and have 2.2 fewer children. An extra year of primary school boosts girls’ eventual wages by 10 to 20 per cent. An extra year of secondary school boosts wages by 15 to 25 per cent. Every time these children make such journeys to school, they don't benefit just themselves, but their entire communities." → goo.gl/3z93R

This man is always quick with the plusses on my posts and his comments tend to be spot on.
According to +Euro Maestro's Engagement numbers he is always tops on the list so how do I have more followers than him?
Maybe that will be corrected now that +Ali Adelstein, you have been MUGGED!!!
BTW, I have no idea if his eyes, skin or hair is that color. I was working off a B/W pic.

The True Cost of Cheap Food
87 percent of the US supermarket meat (including beef, pork, chicken, and turkey products) tests positive for normal and antibiotic-resistant forms of Enterococcus bacteria. Between 2003 and 2011, antibiotic use on US livestock farms soared from 20 million pounds per year to 30 million pounds - a jaw-dropping 50 percent leap. These facilities now suck in 80 percent of the antibiotics consumed in the United States. The great bulk of these drugs are used not to treat sick animals, but rather to make them grow faster and keep them alive until slaughter under tight, filthy conditions ➜ goo.gl/mHPRU

Cigarette Butts are Toxic Waste - some Facts and Numbers
I don’t want people to yell at me and tell me what to do. Instead I like to be provided with the information and make the decision myself. I have to confess that until working on this post, I had discarded sometimes my cigarette butts on the ground. Now I've stopped doing it. Below you may find some enlightening information to make your own opinion...
There are so many bad things about these cigarette butts. They leach toxic chemicals, start forest fires, animals eat them, and, frankly, they are just plain ugly. Cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate, a plastic which is technically biodegradable. However, cigarette butts only degrade under conditions described by researchers as "severe biological circumstances," such as when filters end up in sewage. Even under optimal conditions, it can take at l... more »

Every time you cheat in G+, a bunny commits suicide. Stop the torture.
My own simple rules to save the bunnies:
● don't use artwork or photos without giving credit to the owner.
● don't copy/paste content from the web without a link to the source.
● don't post other people's content or ideas as your own ➜ goo.gl/eWBmQ

Love knows No Limits - a true story.
Jay Cramer was a talented actor when he fell while rock climbing in Malibu, broke his neck and lost the use of his legs six years ago. Katy Sullivan was born without legs. They met at Downey's Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center while undergoing treatment and married.
"It was love at first sight," Jay recalled. "She had the sexiest titanium legs I had ever seen." - "He had to break his neck to notice me," Katy added with a laugh. - Jay added: "It doesn't matter if it's a prosthetic leg, a wheelchair or something else. Take the hand you have been dealt and be grateful for the lessons you have learned." ➜ goo.gl/zpKl0

● that Climate Change is a global Conspiracy and Hoax.
● that Same-sex marriage opposes nature and offends God.
And not a few of them even believe all three...
