As part of Yahoo's new Yahoo! Answers, Bono, Stephen Hawking, Al Gore and many others are asking the world serious questions. Bono's question "What can we do to make poverty history?" is the last in a series of 25 questions posed by global thinkers, politicians and celebrities. Every Yahoo user has a chance to answer these big questions.
(BTW for anyone needing additional incentive :), Yahoo! will donate $25,000 to The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria...and $1,000 to the person with the best answer to Bono's question).
So here are the 2 Questions Bono and Stephen Hawking are asking ALL of us through Yahoo Answers. They already got more than 20000 answers each ranging from the most hilarious to the overly serious, idealistic and thought and/or laughter provoking.
Pondering those questions and looking for the answers and then questioning the answers themselves is a pretty good mindful entertainment, but aside from the intellectual trip or fun game, we can take this to another level and see how we can actually resolve those issues with the highest consciousness, best intentions and the most realistic and pragmatic action. How about it? :)
Bono's question:
"WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY?"
"Because of people like you, leaders of the world’s richest countries met in July 2005 and made a number of historic promises to help end the kind of extreme poverty that is needlessly killing 9,000 people a day in Africa. Millions of lives and the future of a continent are at stake."
In addition to being part of U2, Bono has dedicated his life to eradicating extreme poverty throughout the world – especially in Africa, and he works with the organization ONE.org to spread the word about how everyone can contribute to creating change.
You can watch Bono’s video message about poverty:
