Go Figure - What Would It Cost to Save the World?

[JOINTHERESISTANCE1]

Armies are created to protect an established system -- not people. In the future, an educated humanity will not stand for war.

None of these statistics include the hundreds of millions of new jobs, trillions of dollars and countless beneficial social, environmental and economic gains which will be added to the global recovery by creating a nonviolent, sustainable, peaceful economy, which will far exceed the present fear based method of conducting human affairs...

[PeaceProfit]

Those who employ a nonviolent economy of peaceful exchange and cooperation, will build true freedom and security for all.

Disliked by a butthurt Republican who found this video in an IRC channel.

Where are these stats from? I think they were referenced on the bottom but it was hard to see clearly.

[GlobalDay412]

@minimonsterism Yes, unfortunately this is unclear in the video. The stats come, in order of appearance, from the International Year of Sanitation, the UN Global Education Initiative, the World Food Summit, the World Bank, the International AIDS Vaccinne Initiative, and the UN Millennium Development Goals. The military spending figure is a slight extrapolation of last year's calculations from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

[Grudgecity]

I hope you don't mind if i may take this idea and redo it at my school? I think this needs to get out to the world.

[GlobalDay412]
