Each month we ask you  to share your "passion" as it relates to sustainability. It's a great way for other participants to learn about what is important to you, and what drives you to do what you do everyday.

It seems that many of us are passionate about developing solutions for people to live healthier lives. There are millions of people who live below the poverty line. These people do not have access to clean water, food and safe housing. Global sustainability and the eradication of poverty go hand-in-hand. One of the key points to the Millennium Goals is to reduce poverty by half before 2015 and to improve the lives of at least 100 million humans before 2020.  

We are fortunate to have many organizations all over the world that are dedicated to helping people get out of poverty. Our friend Sam Daley-Harris from RESULTS (an organization dedicated to ending poverty around the world) was recently featured in a TEDx NJ Libraries talk discussing "Purpose, Poverty, Pitfalls, and Redemption". This video is a great example of the power that one person or group of people can have when they are truly passionate about what they're doing!
