You Have No Idea How Big Africa Really Is

It's about 11.7 million square miles, which is really big—big enough to fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and much of Europe within its borders. And that's precisely what Kai Krause did with this inventive map, "The True Size of Africa," which he describes as his contribution to "the fight against rampant Immappacy."

As the world's poor suffer from severe food shortages, we 'waste' and cry about 'CO2 footprint' in the same breath at the same time. If we cut waste, we can help cut global warming, if there is one.

6.7 million tonnes of food is unnecessarily wasted in the UK every year. Stopping the waste of good food could avoid 18 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents from being emitted each year – the same as taking 1 in 5 cars off of UK roads.

Part 6 - 55.32mins. Iqbal Latif begins to talk about the global imbalances; both economic and environmental. He reels off an impressive array of statistics and talks about an increasing fairness in the global systems. He refers back to the Hotel Rafayel's eco-model and advocates a stronger commitment to reducing waste and unnecessary consumption."Someone with everything cannot demand anything from someone who has nothing."

"The povery war can only be won by thinking outside the box."
