4. Bad things are caused by how we choose to live.

7. 20% of the worlds people in the highest income countries account for 86% of total private consumption.
8. 20% of the poorest people are accountable for only 1.3%.
9. An article in 1999 said that the global economy could be seriously affected by environmental problems.
10. Most poverty is caused by food being too expensive.

I can not see this becoming my exit project. There wasn't enough information.

I still wonder what techniques are being used to control the population.
