1. The rising cost of food and food shortages like rice
2. The rising cost of oil and fossil fuels
3. The after effects of the subprime crisis which includes worthless ABCP paper and a deteriorating housing market
4. Rampant stockmarket speculation from hedge fund managers and others who want to make a quick buck on the backs of ordinary investors and consumers who are being squeezed to the limit.
5. Excessively tight loan conditions for some potential home owners with a good credit rating
6. The spreading of "doom and gloom" scenerios from senior economists and banking executives to the general public

As concerned stewards of the Earth, we want to turn around the negativity that has surrounded the above issues. We feel that with the help of God, we can produce positive changes for the peoples of Earth. This includes:

1. Opening up more land for the cultivation of crops like wheat, rice and corn
2. Creating tough fast growing hyrid crops that need less water and maintenance
3. Making the necessary alternate energy breakthroughs like improved nanosolar systems that will create cheap power for electric automobiles and homes
4. Producing financial institutions that promote and give low interest rate mortgages to credit worthy customers
5. Bringing about massive losses to hedge fund managers who cause harm to the poor through high risk stockmarket speculation 
6. Finding inspirational financial leaders like Suze Orman who will come to the aid of confused investors 
7. Developing positive innovative ideas that will inspire change like in the song: Put a Little Love in Your Heart
