They say the squeaky wheel gets the oil, and that clearly applies to global problems. Private citizens and NGOs can do a lot to address world problems, but the solutions are not going to come entirely from the private sector. If you believe that your government could be doing more, then contact your elected officials and tell them about what you’ve learned and what you think should be done. For the names and contact info for the elected officials who are supposed to be representing you, click the link below. You’ll have the option of locating your representative in the State legislature, your governor, U.S. Senators and Representative, and the President of the United States.
