h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Very good synopsis. I am part of a sustainable-living group (Smooth Brothers)based in Dublin, Ireland. Check out my guide entry and drop us a line. We seem to have a lot of interests in common

Well done! Consider this - is poverty the lack of money? Can a rich person be poor? How about a person who earns ten thouisand € a year but but lives so far from supermarkets s/he spends 20% of the weekly shopping budget on transport before getting to the market?

My point is this is money/house of a particular size/car/ etc a realiable measure of prosterity/poverty? Is there a more universal measure - is poverty an equality issue (combat poverty once assured me it is not).

can poverty be tackled on a global front or does it need a basic change in approach. Jeasus said the poor will always be with us - lets prove him wrong.
