Climate change is linked to world population explosion

Sally from Green Bay

Global warming which is caused by population explosion; particularly in Sahara and desert regions is now causing huge problems with millions of displaced people now living in refugee camps even whole cities like Cox bazaar and Gaza.
If we look at the statistics on the worldometer site


www.worldometers.info...

we can see that the fertility rate column shows which countries are responsible and have more than 2 children per family.
The UN world health organisation WHO needs to address this problem head on at it receives over $6 billion annually but instead of providing free contraceptives and vasectomies to these third world countries where their economies and house building and road, water, sewage and electric infra structure cannot keep up with a doubling population every 10 years it is just supplying free drugs and food which just makes the situation worse for them, as it wrecks their agricultural economies and self sufficiency with the result being the creation of refugee cities like Gaza.

The Best Backyard Build winner

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.

We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!

This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.
