Poverty, hunger and war each affect approximately a billion people, nearly half of which are children. Definitions as follows:
- Poverty: living on less than $2.15/day.
- Hunger: not having enough food to meet daily bodily energy needs.
- War-zone: living within 5 kilometres of violent conflict.
Environmental issues are even more pervasive. 3.2 billion people (40% of us) live in areas of degraded land from deforestation, over-grazing and desertification. Including pollution of water, air and soil, all life on earth is impacted.
What does 3L offer the world on these most terrible problems? 3L can totally eradicate these issues. There is enough food and resources on the planet to meet every human’s basic survival needs without jeopardising the planet. All of these problems stem from violations of property rights; a failure to respect people’s right to live free from aggression. Poverty stems from theft and artificial barriers to making a living. Hunger stems from poverty. War is the invasion of property, and environmental damage is either invasion or a complete lack of property rights to begin with.
