"Half the world is living in poverty and you're not interested?"

We are, but it takes time to change things and not just make a law to say "stop having poverty". We tried to do the same thing around 2000 and they said we gonna change the world and for 2015 the problems are solved. Nothing changed so I doubt it's gonna work again.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To say having gender equality, beeing ecofriendly and be strong in saving the worldpeace are big words but to accomplish these goals takes time and to have a strong bond between the countries. Just take a look at the news and you see there are always new problems. Having this conference in NY and things like this blog is just a way to advertise.
