G8 and UN, you are busted!

Instead of finding a solution to the World’s two main problems, ‘Climate Changes and Poverty’, they dropped a clanger in Rome.
In July 2009 the United Nations invited the wives of the G8-leaders to a happening in Rome, Italy. – The Presidents, prime ministers and other statesmen of G8, the world richest countries, were negotiating about the financial crisis, development aid to poor countries, and the impact of the pollution on the world’s climate. – However, at the same time their wives were invited to a happening by UN’s WFP, World Food Program.
The happening was that the wives of the statesmen should feed porridge to children from Ghana. (The children flew from Ghana to Rome as puppets to the entertainment of the presidential wives)
When I first heard about this, I didn’t believe it was true. But, it is!
The information of this happening was not in the news in July when the event took place. The reason that it is being published now because of a protest in SIDA’s internal magazine (SIDA is the official Swedish organization for aid to people in poor countries).
Well, that money is being wasted this way is one issue, but I find it scandalous that the children was exhibited this way. If the idea was to inform the wives of the world leaders about the living conditions for children in Africa, then the arrangement should have been ‘the other way around’. The wives should have been flown to Ghana, where they would have to eat porridge.
The happening in Rome illustrates how little the politicians and their own families are willing to engage personal in the two main problems the world is facing, ‘The Poverty Problem’ and ‘The Climate Problem’.
Not only should the UN’s money for the World Food Program be spend wiser, but each activity the politicians participate in should be evaluated and calculated regarding the carbon footprint!
Calculations of the carbon dioxide emission of each political arrangement would most certainly be a benefit for the climate, and reduce the dangers of the global warming.
Make comments about this incident. And write about other incidents, where it is obvious that your politicians say one thing about ‘What to do’ but act differently. So, Bust them!
