Climate Change Impact on Hunger

"Climate change's most savage impact on humanity in the near future is likely to be in the increase in hunger … the countries with existing problems in feeding their people are those most at risk from climate change," Oxfam International.  

Fortunately, my family, friends, and I have plenty to eat. I never have had to think about going without food. But, for many people hunger is just a normal way of life. If we all could put our wants and desire aside for just a brief period of time, we could help stop this unfortunate lifestyle. 

A simple way to contribute to helping those going without a meal and preventing climate change is to buy green friendly products. 

Important questions before you make a purchase:
 Did the manufacture of this product contribute to global warming?  
What is the real cost of the product, not just the actual purchase price but the global price? 
 Was the product manufactured, including all packaging, by using organically grown materials and/or with the highest post consumer material possible?  
Will any of the ingredients of the product cause environmental harm while they are being used or after their use? 

Help fight hunger by stopping global warming.
