Our World
Population growth is one of the most important topics we cover at Our World in Data.
For most of human history, the global population was a tiny fraction of what it is today.
Over the last few centuries, the human population has gone through an extraordinary change.

Our World
With 8.025 billion people and almost 1 billion people around the globe without access to safe drinking water
Annually, 1.8 million Children die from diseases related to poor sanitation and contaminated water.
That means that every 20 seconds, a child loses his or her precious life.

Pollution
Air pollution from coal power plants
For too long the coal industry has used our atmosphere like an open sewer for its airborne pollution.
These emissions fuel climate change, but they also pose a serious threat to our health and environment.

Wild Animals
Saving endangered species
Key to the survival of our endangered species is ensuring that they are reintroduced to protected areas where they can safely roam and strengthen in number.
Hunting big cats is a tradition that goes back many centuries in India from the times of the British Raj back to the Mughal Empire and beyond.

Education
Knowledge is everything
When people talk about children not succeeding in school, it is not long before they start pointing fingers at one another,
saying things like, “If only the school would…” or “We wouldn’t have this problem if parents….”
Often the answer to why children are not getting a good education depends on who gets asked which questions.
Or who talks the loudest.
Families in poverty with few literacy skills are not usually asked these sorts of questions.

Rain Forest
Rain forests play an invaluable role in sustaining life
The rain forest is nearly self-watering.
Plants release water into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration.
In the tropics, each canopy tree can release about 200 gallons (760 liters) of water each year.
The Rainforest are Endangered more than we can imagine.

Human Rights
What are human rights?
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death.
They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life.

Clean Energy
Understand the value of using clean energy
The sun is the star that dominates our solar system.
The amount of energy emitted by the sun as radiation is quite constant.
This energy output is generated deep within the sun.

Food for Everyone
Eating healthy is an important life lesson.
Kids go to school to learn, and part of what they learn about is healthy food and nutrition.
Even if what they learn about nutrition isn’t ideal due to the food industry’s influence on what is taught,
the food served at school should set a healthy example.
Students may like unhealthy foods, but the hypocrisy is not lost on them when schools serve food that is not healthy.
We produce enough food to feed 10 billion people.
So why does hunger still exist?

Poorness
Something we have to take care of
In our world, one in eight people live in slums. In total, around a billion people live in slum conditions today.
This not only amounts to a rather unacceptable contemporary reality but to one whose numbers are continuously swelling.
1 in every 4 people will live in a slum by 2030, according to current estimates.

Happiness
Happiness! take it when you meet it.
Happiness hasn't any form, as far I know, but it just come and go as it Pleased.
I think that it is something you have to practice on, to be there at the right moment, and don't hesitate when it arrives.
look after, see after, and feel after, use it when it arrives to you, just as invisible it comes, it goes again.
Grab it and embraces it!
