Dad, why are there so many people who don't have enough food to eat? Can't the rich people just buy food and give it to everyone?
Liuku: 3
Well, they could do that, but they're too greedy.
Liuku: 4
What makes them greedy?
Liuku: 5
Well, I suppose it's just the system we live in.
Liuku: 6
What system is that?
Liuku: 7
Capitalism. It makes people want more than they need, and then there's nothing left for everyone else.
Liuku: 8
That sounds really bad. How come we don't just make more so everyone gets some?
Liuku: 9
Well, there's not enough for everyone...
Liuku: 10
... the Earth only has so many resources.
Liuku: 11
So, what happens when they run out? Does the world end
Liuku: 12
They already are running out.
Liuku: 13
Then
... there are a lot of resources that are really low right now, and it's really bad for the earth...
Liuku: 14
Now
... there's a lot of pollution in the air now, and lots of animals don't have homes anymore.
Liuku: 15
WELL, WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
Liuku: 16
The rich people don't care.
Liuku: 17
I'm not rich! So, what can I do?
Liuku: 18
There's a lot of stuff we're already doing...
Liuku: 19
... your mom and I try to shop responsibly so that we're buying sustainable products...
Liuku: 20
... and whenever we can, we trade stuff with the neighbors instead of buying something new.
Liuku: 21
Ooh! And I recycle!
Liuku: 22
Exactly! That helps a lot!
Liuku: 23
But what else? I want to do something more.
Liuku: 24
Well actually, I have an idea...
Liuku: 25
... there's this community fridge that was just put in downtown...
Liuku: 26
... you can put food in there, and people who need it can come get it for free.
Liuku: 27
Dad can we please put food in it?
Liuku: 28
Of course! Why don't we do that today!
Liuku: 29
I'd love that!
Liuku: 30
But that won't solve the problem for the rest of the world.
Liuku: 31
No, it won't, but it will help.
Liuku: 32
Honestly, we'll probably never see the problem get "fixed"...
Liuku: 33
...capitalism just isn't sustainable, and one day it will probably fail and collapse on itself...
Liuku: 34
...but if we do our part, we can create a foundation for a better system to grow when capitalism falls.
Liuku: 35
I'm going to make the strongest foundation ever!
