Poverty is a state or condition in which a person or community lacks the financial

resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. Poverty means that the income level
from employment is so low that basic human needs can't be met. Poverty-stricken people and
families might go without proper housing, clean water, healthy food, and medical attention.

I think that an increase access to education is the best solution to reduce and alleviate
poverty. Education is a privilege and it is a basic condition for humans to develop their full
capabilities. With education, we can fight and conquer the intergenerational cycle of poverty. The
more inclusive the reach of education, the more likely it is to defeat and overcome poverty even
with the poorest of the poorest.

 Environmental issues are defined as problems with the planet's systems (air, water, soil,
etc.) that have developed as a result of human interference or mistreatment of the planet.
Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activity on the biophysical environment.
Major current environmental issues may include climate change, pollution, deforestation,
overpopulation, environmental degradation, resource depletion, and global warming.

Sustainability is the key to prevent or reduce the effect of environmental issues. It is

indeed clear scientific evidence that humanity is living unsustainably, and that an unprecedented
collective effort is needed to return human use of natural resources to within sustainable limits.
For humans to live sustainably, the Earth's natural resources must be used at a rate at which they
can be restored and replenished.
