The sale of bottled water has been skyrocketing, with an average of a million bottles being bought every minute. The demand is not just limited to tourists, but also extends to the 2.1 billion people worldwide who are affected by unsafe drinking water.
However, despite the high sales figures, the market's future looks bleak as experts predict that sales will fall further, reaching £1.11 billion in 2016. This is a significant decline from the previous years and highlights the growing concern about water scarcity and safety.
Apart from the market trends, natural disasters such as wildfires, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, mudslides, and other events have caused enormous economic losses in 2018 alone, worth at least $49 billion in the United States. These events have a significant impact on businesses and communities alike, highlighting the need for sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
In addition to the economic costs of these disasters, they also result in lost income for individuals and businesses, amounting to around $225 billion annually. This highlights the importance of investing in disaster preparedness and response measures to minimize the economic and social impacts of such events.
Furthermore, the water reserves have decreased significantly over the years, with a new report from Mintel revealing that it has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2011 to £1.12 billion in 2015. This trend underscores the need for more efficient water management practices and sustainable solutions to ensure that future generations have access to clean and safe water resources.
Despite these challenges, governments around the world have taken action to address these issues. For example, in the United States, Congress appropriated over $25 billion for infrastructure projects like building new roads and improving water treatment facilities. Such initiatives are essential to build resilience and ensure that communities can recover quickly from disasters while also addressing underlying issues like water availability and safety.

一项提议预计在未来十年内可以为医保系统节省超过1000亿美元的资金。
这个数字远低于人们过去预期的数十亿美元。
根据该提议，未来十年内的节省资金将达到数百亿美元。
在美国，厨房市场目前的市值达到了1700亿美元，是电影行业的五倍。
随着越来越多的人成为生产者和消费者(即产消者),他们可以在现场自行生产和消费能源，这将如何影响花费了数十亿美元建设的集中式电网？目前尚无人知晓哪种(如果有的话)电池技术将会最终胜出，但有一点非常明确：能源的未来在于我们如何存储它。
而现在，能源储存的市场规模已经达到了330亿美元。
全球产业每年产生近100吉瓦时(GWh)的电力。
然而，随着世界将目光投向为数约10亿尚未获得现代能源接入的人口提供现代能源，并减少使地球变暖的燃料的需求，今天的电池突破成为了可能。
为了支持发展中国家减少排放，全球已经投入了超过1000亿美元的资金。
到本十年末，南极洲预计价值超过500亿美元，并产出160吉瓦时电力，足以吸引主要公司对这种明显不那么热门的技术的兴趣。
尽管评估结果差异很大，但地质学家估计南极洲至少拥有360亿桶的石油和天然气储量。
这意味着可能会有额外的30亿人摆脱贫困。
根据2013年12月的阅读原文，到本世纪末全球发展中国家的人们需要为更多人提供食物，这期间预计将发生巨大的财富、卡路里摄入量和饮食喜好方面的转变。

Brazil produces a large amount of greenhouse gases, accounting for one-fifth of the world's total emissions. In 2013, the federal government provided almost all of the funding for university research, with almost half going to energy and environment research. The Department of Energy proposed investing $1 billion in a new coal-burning energy plant in 2012. The European Union is now creating a $580 billion fund to prevent sovereign defaults, while other countries are spending billions on new technologies and infrastructure projects. In the past, French and German railways lost billions of euros per year due to various reasons. Meanwhile, there are still nearly two billion people living in slums worldwide, despite efforts to reduce homelessness over the years.
In 2020, a significant trend is expected to emerge with the widespread connectivity of devices, things, and sensors. This moment coincides with the projected growth of millennials, who are set to make up 75 percent of our overall workforce by then. As a result, the fully connected home will become increasingly prevalent.
The proliferation of technology in our daily lives has led to a lack of recovery from work-related thoughts, disrupting our sleep patterns and keeping us constantly engaged with our phones. This constant cognitive arousal is costing our companies an alarming $62 billion per year in lost productivity. It is evident that we need to find ways to disconnect from work and prioritize our well-being to avoid this detrimental impact on our professional lives.
Another pressing issue related to the rapid growth of technology is the generation of solid waste. Every year, the world produces 1.3 billion tons of garbage, which has adverse effects on both the environment and human health. We must take proactive steps to reduce waste and promote sustainable practices to mitigate these negative consequences.
Furthermore, as technology continues to advance, renewable energy sources are gaining traction and becoming more attractive to major corporations. The potential value of wind and solar power is expected to exceed $50 billion by the end of the decade and generate 160 gigawatt-hours of electricity, attracting attention from companies that might not have considered these technologies before.
Despite Nigeria's status as the continent's second-largest producer of tomatoes, the country is still dependent on $1 billion in foreign aid to sustain its agriculture industry. To ensure long-term stability and development in Africa, it is crucial to explore alternative sources of income and invest in infrastructure and technology for local farmers. By doing so, we can empower African communities to become self-sufficient and achieve economic growth without relying on external assistance.
In conclusion, the increasing connectivity of devices, things, and sensors, coupled with the growing influence of millennials in the workforce, will have far-reaching implications for our daily lives and society as a whole. It is essential to address issues such as workplace fatigue, waste reduction, renewable energy adoption, and dependence on foreign aid to create a sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come.
Imports of tomato-paste worth billions every year are being wasted due to a lack of proper storage facilities. In fact, around 75% of the local harvest goes to waste annually. This is because there are not enough storage facilities in place to keep the product fresh and usable.
Urban populations are expected to double in the next four decades, with an additional two billion people needing new places to live, as well as services and ways to move around their cities. With this growth, urban planning will become increasingly important to ensure that infrastructure can support the expanding population.
While it's true that around 2 billion people worldwide already supplement their diet with insects, consumer disgust remains a major obstacle in many western countries. Despite this, the potential benefits of insect consumption, such as higher protein content, may eventually overcome this barrier.
In 2015, gaming generated $23.5 billion in domestic revenue. As the gaming industry continues to grow, so too does its contribution to the economy.
More than $100 billion in funding is currently being considered for supporting developing nations in reducing emissions. This funding could be instrumental in helping these countries transition towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly economies.
Unfortunately, nearly a billion people are still unable to read. This highlights the need for continued efforts to improve access to education, particularly in developing countries, in order to reduce illiteracy rates.
Office workers in many parts of the world do an average of 2 billion hours of unpaid overtime each year. This staggering number highlights the importance of improving work conditions and addressing issues such as overwork and burnout.
Finally, it's worth noting that right now, a large amount of food is being wasted each year. This is equivalent to the entire crop of potatoes grown in France or Italy. Addressing this issue will require a combination of changes in consumer behavior, improvements in agricultural production practices, and increased investment in food preservation technologies.
Today's billion-person population faces the problem of chronic hunger. In response, startups are eager to enter the market for products designed specifically for older adults. According to a recent forecast, this market could reach $30 billion by next year.
In addition to catering to the elderly, entrepreneurs are also seeking out opportunities in emerging industries. The surface of our solar system is believed to have formed mostly in the last billion years. This makes it fresher and more recently active than any other rocky planet, with the exception of Earth itself. As a result, entrepreneurs are focusing on space exploration and utilization as a potential source of wealth.
However, not all of these endeavors are purely hypothetical. One successful entrepreneur has amassed nearly $13 billion in fortune through practical achievements rather than speculative ventures. This demonstrates that success can be found in both high-risk, cutting-edge industries and traditional sectors.
Energy storage is another field with significant potential. Currently, energy storage is a global industry worth $33 billion, generating nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year. As we continue to expand access to modern energy sources, the need for efficient and reliable storage solutions will only grow.
Despite the challenges posed by issues such as chronic hunger and energy storage, there are ample opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to make a difference. By identifying unmet needs and developing innovative solutions, businesses can drive economic growth and improve the lives of billions of people around the world.
In 1997-198, the world's population was estimated to be about 5.6 billion. By 2016, this number had grown to nearly 7.9 billion, and it is expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050 according to United Nations estimates. (Section C)
In the United States alone, people without access to healthcare coverage spend more than $10,000 out of pocket per year for prescriptions, while those with insurance often face deductibles that can exceed $5,000. In addition, many people have to pay for generic drugs, which are often cheaper than name brand drugs, but still add up to significant costs over time. (Section A)
A strong nifio in 1997-98 helped America's economy grow by 15 billion dollars, partly because of better agricultural harvests and extra rain benefiting farmers in the midwest. (Section B)
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. (Section C)
Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies in terms of market share, as they typically lack the resources to invest in research and development or marketing campaigns. (Section B)
According to Grand view Research, the global solar energy industry is on track to sell billions of dollars worth of panels this year, driven by increasing demand for clean energy sources and government policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. (Section B)

That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS $2 billion per year.
Meanwhile, it has more than $120 billion in unfunded liabilities, mostly for employee health and retirement costs.
Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated $286 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures.
It reported a net loss of $5.6 billion for fiscal 2016, the 10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue. "Our products succeed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns," said Carol Berning, a consumer psychologist who recently retired from Procter and Gamble, the company that sold $76 billion of Tide, Crest and other products last year.
Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion gallons of liquid detergent every year.
In 2010, according to data from the US Postal Service (USPS), the total annual revenues were around $139 billion while the total annual expenditures were around $142 billion. The USPS had approximately $54 billion in assets and liabilities at the end of 2010.
However, by the end of 2016, the USPS's net loss had reached $5.6 billion. This was the tenth consecutive year that the USPS's expenses exceeded its revenue. According to a survey conducted by NPD Group, a consumer market research company, Americans used an estimated 20 billion gallons of liquid detergent every year.

The amount of clothing produced annually, around 64 items per person, has increased drastically over the years. This excess leads to waste, no matter how much clothing is given away. In 2007, the value of the global textile industry reached a peak of $65 billion, according to Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics. This figure was double that of five years earlier. For example, in 2000, wholesale sales of food and drink in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom accounted for more than 40% of retail sales. In 2015, the US Forest Service spent more than half of its annual budget on firefighting – almost double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. Similarly, the US Postal Service could save $28.6 billion over five years with legislation currently moving through the House that would help pay for new vehicles and other survival measures. Despite these efforts, the amount of clothing produced each year may have come down to $50 billion since then.
The common-sense change that would save the USPS $2 billion per year enjoys widespread public support. The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy, such as Amazon and Facebook, are astonishing. Amazon recently announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5 billion, while two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire WhatsApp.
