In the year of 2015, the 196 leaders of the largest intergovernmental organization on the planet got together and decided that the world was great, but it could be way better. And obviously, the only way to truly improve anything anywhere is by setting goals. So they set some goals; 17 of them, to be exact. These goals, to be met by 2030, are meant to help give every human access to what he or she needs, from food and water to basic rights and an education. They are meant to make the world, simply put, a better place.
Introducing the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development, the key world in that name being global. These goals are for the world, not just a specific part of it. Do you or somebody you know live on Planet Earth? If so, please visit globalgoals.org where these benchmarks are written up in their entirety, as well as instructons on what you can do to make your contribution, such as using bar soap instead of liquid soap in bottles (it works better, too), donating functioning but unused items to local shelters, and spreading the word. Find a goal that speaks to you and do everything you can to help meet that goal. Get obsessed, get informed, and get to work, because humanity needs everyone to step up and help out if we're ever going to meet those standards. There are so many random little things that we can change about how we live that can have a positive impact on our world, and yet, are not thought of or practiced. But now, it's time to change that, for "The world is not given by [our] fathers but borrowed from [our] children" - John Madison.
