Conversation Starter: Poverty On October 15th 2008, thousands of bloggers united to discuss a single issue - poverty. The aim was to raise awareness, initiate action and to shake the web. TakingITGlobal was among the 12,836 sites that participated. TIGer Wambui from Kenya participated on Blog Against Poverty and discussed that "while it is important to empower the poor so that they lead quality lives, we need to think of how we as a society are participating in actions that perpetuate rather than eliminate poverty." Wambui is right, we need to rethink and react differently to overcome poverty. Read more about Wambui's perspective on combating poverty. |

Love Junk We're also in love with our friends at The Otesha Project who use peddle power to share their messages of sustainability and personal action with youth in many countries. Their book, From Junk to Funk, has loads of fun chapters that tackle everything from Food to Transportation. You can download it for free! (see Otesha UK for a British version) |
