I like it, but it makes me depressed to think of all those others out there. Now I wanna go help them! (But I'm not old enough to join the Peace Corps.)
I'm not one of those people who gains happiness from looking at others' misfortune and comparing themselves, sooo...
It's a good design though, and the message was well-meant. Nice job!

i don't want people to gain happiness by comparing their lives to the people who are worse off, i want people to gain happiness by remembering all the good things they have and appreciating them, and i want people to remember not to take those things for granted.
that was my intention so i just wanted to clear that up (:
i'm glad you like the design, thank you for taking the time to view and comment

the last line ... its kinda ambiguous ... is it a fact that most people can't read or is it that they do not have internet?
either way this is a great info/typo/graphic representation of awesomeness

i wouldn't know 'cause i didn't make this message but i'm guessing it refers to the people who are not wealthy enough to have a normal lifestyle and come across these things.
thank you so much for the thoughtful comment

its probably trying to imply that 3 billion people are illiterate, but instead it specifically implies that 3 billion people cannot read ENGLISH
there are a lot of problems with this submission that are rather vague/the facts are wrong
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i guess it is meant to be ambiguous, to make us think of both people who cant read and people who dont have comodities such as internet, or a computer...

it is not ambiguous, it specifically implies that 3 billion people cannot read English, i'm sure she meant to imply that 3 billion people are illiterate, but she did not indicate such a thing at all

For the people requesting sources, some light research has pointed to this: [link]
Statistics are possibly included from other sources, and one can probably find the research that is the basis of Donella H. Meadows' work with a bit more digging.

Should be a poster. Depressing, but a real eye-opener. Thanks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww but it shouldn't be depressing.
as horrible as these things are, and as much as i think we should care about this; this poster wasn't made to raise that kind of awareness, it was made to remind people not to take things for granted and be grateful for the good things.
you're welcome, and thank you for viewing and commenting.

So true...
The only (nitpicky) problem is that more than 3 billion people in the world can't read English. If the it in the last sentence was taken out, it would work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
i don't think that's what the last part means, i think it means that most people aren't wealthy enough to have a lifestyle that enables them to come across a message like this.

i live in a spanish-speaking country, i guess "the chance to learn a second language" or "to know how to speak at all" should be added to my blessing list
