Family-planning product inventory

Dear Richard,

I apologize for the late reply. I didn't receive a notification about your message. I'm so glad to hear you're fine.
I have missed you! You are part of the great story, too, Richard. IMHO, you are doing the most important kind of work that anyone on the planet can be doing.

It not only improves individuals' lives and families' lives, and local communities, it also is essential for reducing global climate change and other major problems on the planet, which we MUST do to prevent even worse suffering from happening in the (not-too-distant) future.

It is no exaggeration to say that. We have got to humanely curb the exponential growth of the global human population. (I did part of my part in choosing not to have any children. I advocate for people to choose either that, or to have one child or no more than two children in each person's lifetime.)

I know it's difficult for people to understand exponential growth. I saw an online tutorial recently that did a good job at explaining it and getting across the reason for the urgency. Let's say you have one bacterium in a jar and it divides itself, doubling the population in the jar by becoming two bacteria, and the population keeps doubling, to four, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and so on. Over the course of an hour (let's say from 11:00 to 12:00), the doubling keeps happening. At some point, the jar is half full. Then, the population doubles again and suddenly the jar is full and there is no more room. What time do you suppose it happened that the jar was half full? That happened at 11:59. Do you think there was time to do anything about the problem before the population doubled again, suddenly, at 12:00? No, of course, there was not. That is why we have to slow down population growth, and slow it down significantly. It cannot be allowed to continue to grow EXPONENTIALLY.

We all need to be cognizant of the following, and to remind ourselves and each other of this on a regular basis:

It took from the year 1 A.D. until the 1800s--ALMOST TWO *THOUSAND* YEARS--just to get to 1 billion human beings, yet in only the past TWO *HUNDRED* YEARS, we already have surpassed 7 billion humans on the planet!

When I came home from the hospital for the first time, as an infant in 1960, there were only about 3 billion humans on the planet. However, by the early 1990s, only *THIRTY* YEARS LATER, the global human population already had doubled again, reaching 6 billion!!

And now, less than thirty years since the early 1990s, we already are fast approaching 8 billion!!!

It's true that we have slowed global human population growth a bit over approximately the past thirty years; however, not nearly enough yet!!!!

We are in the throes of the sixth mass extinction on our planet. Human activity (mostly) has been causing alarming numbers of species to go extinct, rapidly, and we are on a course to cause our own species to go extinct, too--(if we don't collectively "wake up" enough and change enough about what we do and the ways we do what we do)--but before extinction would happen, we would have even worse suffering than we've probably ever seen before. We have to change our ways.

We have to ditch finite and pollution-causing fossil-fuels and switch instead (en masse) to clean, renewable sources of energy (a.s.a.p.; we maybe should have started to do that at least fifty years ago; we certainly should be doing it now), among many other things.

Most especially, we need to solve the ROOT CAUSE of most of our troubles; we need humanely to prevent the population from continuing to grow exponentially... and the only humane way to do that is to prevent pregnancies.

Of course, I know you know all of this already, Richard. I write for others reading who maybe don't already know.

Projects like yours are what I like to promote and support the most. I also like to promote and support businesses that provide clean, renewable energy sources; businesses that provide clean drinking water; and farmers who grow vegetables, legumes, nuts, berries, fruits, and almost any other type of food plants (preferably using healthy, organic practices).

It's so great to see you here again, Richard. :-) Thank you so much for the extremely important work you do!

Best wishes always,
Laurie

Loan to rent a single room, self-contained, for my son and for me

Hello, my lovely and selfless Lenders.
I am very sorry for having been away from the platform without any notice. It wasn't intentional. My son mistakenly put my android phone in water and it has spoilt. So for sometime now, I have not been using phone.

However, we are doing very well on a general note by the Grace of God. My son is very fine and has started school; and my business though not moving as expected, I am very grateful to God for his care and daily provisions.

Margaret and Mary, I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Regards, Tina

Farming and adding more stock to my packing business

Helo Mary. Thank you very much for your concern. Its been very difficult here, transitioning from polythene to new packaging products. The most challenging part was the ability to access both grocery and carrier bags. The market is now opening up. I was much hit with school fee and election chaos that has prolonged. With latest supreme court ruling we do hope we may be able to stabilise again. My loan repayment schedule was affected by the circumstances but I do hope I will makeup to the level expected of me in the next few weeks. One thing I am glad that my children are doing well and one sat the national examination for grade(class) 8 awaiting results next and the other is doing his form 4 national examination finishing next week. Thanks once more and be blessed .
