Poverty from MY View

Many people believe that poverty means lack of money. In one hand it looks correct. On the other hand it could be appeared in different ways. In recently years many countries have found different solutions against poverty, and the meaning of poverty has been changed. It is not limited to lack of money; it could be demonstrated itself in another form. Today, many people around the world are being deprived from fresh air, sanitary drinking water, beautiful landscapes, clean soil, and biodiversity. We can call it environmental poverty. Sometimes, it could be more harmful in comparison with financial poverty. In a big city with heavy air pollution it does not matter you are rich, or you are poor; everyone has to breathe poisonous air and involves to its consequences. I saw many people in such a big and polluted city who envy poor people in villages with fresh air and beautiful landscapes. As a matter of fact, it is being happened not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. In my opinion, environmental poverty is more intolerable than financial poverty. It can involve more people than financial poverty.
