2. How to Stop World Hunger?
• People have tried to come up with a solution to
world hunger for decades. Stupid things like donating
and missions don’t do anything, we need to take
action! That’s why I, Jack Lawlis, have a plan….
3. Greenland
• With a population of 56,615 (January 2011 estimate)
Greenland is the least densely populated
dependency or country in the world. The total area
of Greenland is 836,330 square miles, which
currently, if you do the math, gives each occupant of
Greenland exactly 14.77 square miles of land to
themselves. Now, only 46% of Africa has access to
safe, clean drinking water. With 1 billion people,
Africa accounts for about 14.72% of the world's
human population.
4. Greenland Continued
• So being that about half of Africa’s population is in
need of safe drinking water, and Greenland has
plenty of room, I propose we move half of Africa, 500
million people to Greenland. Greenland has plenty of
lakes, streams, and ice to accommodate to thirsty
Africans. So If Greenland’s new occupation was
500,056,615 people, then the square mile to people
ratio would be every one person would have 0.00167
square miles to themselves, or 9.81 square feet to
themselves!
5. Funding the Trip
• Well, as you probably know, moving 500 million
people from Central Africa to Greenland wouldn’t be
cheap. Its is a 4255 mile trip. But these numbers
should convince you. $500 billion dollars has been
sent to African nations in the form of direct aid. The
money has had little long term effect. In addition,
most African nations have owed substantial sums of
money. However, a large percentage of the money
was either invested in weapons or was directly
misappropriated by corrupt governments like making
nuclear weapons and pirating CDs.
6. Funding Continued
• So lets say that we have to clothe, feed, and provide
transportation for 500 millon people for 7 days. The
people live off a dollar a day, so five dollars should be
good. And for seven days, that’s $17,500,000,000 in
food, or 17.5 billion. Nothing near the vast 500
billion. So then clothing comes in. they can be
clothed for about 40 dollars per, so $20,000,000,000
in clothing, or 20 billion. Again, no where near the
cost of 500 billion. And finally transportation.
7. Transportation Via Boat and Plane
• For transporting the people, we will use the
many Antonov An-225’s the world has at it’s
disposal. The Antonov An-225 can carry a max
payload of 550,000 pounds. So that means
one Antonov can carry 100,000 Africans. And
if we have, lets say, 100 Antonov’s, we can
carry 10 million Africans per trip. So fifty trips,
and the whole population would be in
Greenland.
8. Final Conclusion
• I, Jack Lawlis, have just proved that we can
stop world thirst. If you wish to help, give Jack
Lawlis a small donation at the closest available
time (only With your help, we can make a
a small portion will go towards red cross).
difference for much less of a cost that we are
currently spending, and once and for all end world
thirst.
