Increased adoption of reproductive healthcare and family planning is an essential component to achieve the United Nations’ 2015 medium global population projection of 9.7 billion people by 2050. Investing in high-quality family planning will make positive impacts on the health, welfare, and life expectancy of both women and their children. Additionally, it reduces the amount out greenhouse gas emissions.

Materials

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Aidan Justus 4/25/2018 7:39 AM
I can incorporate more "R's" into my life by reducing the amount of clothes I buy and opting to shop at thrifts shops. Each year in the U.S. alone, 25 billion pounds of textiles are produced. Shopping at thrifts shops are a great way to reuse the textiles that are already produced. Also, instead of throwing out old clothes I don't wear anymore, I can repurpose them to reduce the amount of waste.

What do you want to prioritize over material 'stuff' in your own life?
Aidan Justus 4/25/2018 7:27 AM
I would like to prioritize the people around me before the material things. While material things can be useful tools that help use in our daily lives, the relationships that we build around us is what really matters. I would like to spend less time on my phone and more face-to-face time with the people I love.

How are people responding to the statistics you're sharing on social media?
Aidan Justus 4/24/2018 9:14 PM
