Take a COOL Guess – the Fun Quiz on Clean Energy.  Today’s Topic: The Cost of War

Question:  According to Australia’s Institute for Economics and Peace, how much money would the world have saved if it had been at peace since 2006?

Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.

Relevance: In addition to the obvious (death, injury, bereft loved ones, displacement of refugees, etc.) this enormous cash savings ($5600 for every man, woman and child on the planet) could have advanced world literacy and health, and/or been used to turn around the devastation we’re wreaking on our environment.
