There are 1.4 billion people in the world living in extreme poverty. That's 1.4 billion people living on less than $1.25 a day.
The Global Poverty Project has developed a multi-media presentation, 1.4 Billion Reasons, that is travelling the globe engaging and inspiring audiences to understand and get involved in the movement to end extreme poverty.

Really, I thought that some 20-odd threads of meltdown over one beach photo was the tasteful, dare I say bare, minimum.
Honestly, if the Ukraine hadn't fallen apart, I'd wager some folks would still probably be starting threads gravely tsk-tsking and somberly tut-tutting about the damn thing.

Here's to being ahead of the times!
