that all communities give every single woman and every single girl their dreams come true.
When you give a girl education, you give her freedom. The reason why child marriages and lack of education are interlinked is due to sexism and old tradition. The lack of education disables' families in the villages to see progress in their lives.

She really loved learning, and she wanted to come to my school when she heard about it. So she asked her father, her mother — anyone to bring her to my school. They all refused.
The strength Faith had to overcome all barriers to go to school shows how much education is worth it. Giving girls access to education improves their lives and can open so many doors to many jobs.

This sentence is empowering. In most third world countries, girls don't go to school. It is a tradition for them to send boys to a school than girls because they believe that girls are only suitable for an arranged marriage. This makes the parents have control over girls and creates huge obstacles for them.

Since then, it’s happened again in London, it’s happening internationally, and across the country. It’s a way of organizations coming together to celebrate food, to say the best thing to do with food is to eat and enjoy it, and to stop wasting it.
I have seen more organizations like Amp Your Good, Boulder Food Rescues, and City Harvest that collect healthy food that is unsellable in supermarkets to distribute them to communities that are in need of food. City Harvest (Based in NY) collected 55 million pounds of excess food from restaurants, grocers, bakeries, manufacturers, and farms and deliver it free of charge to 500 community food programs across the city of New York.

if we make noise about it, tell corporations about it, tell governments we want to see an end to food waste, we do have the power to bring about that change.
As countries get richer, there will be more food waste coming from restaurants and supermarkets. All of this food gets thrown out into landfills. It cost industrialized countries millions of wasted food as well! Not only is it an economical problem but it creates an environmental problem as well. As food decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a gas that is 27 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Businesses and policymakers should be concerned about this and should fund more organizations and communities to stop food waste.
-
I’d seen bins full of food being locked and then trucked off to landfill sites, and I thought, surely there is something more sensible to do with food than waste it.
Supermarkets shouldn't waste so much food that it needs a truck to haul out the products that look defective. All that food can go towards homeless shelters or it could be given to families on the streets. There are farmers who could use the food to feed their animals. The main point is that food should not be wasted because other people can use it in many different ways.

If we’re going to achieve the Global Goals we have to do things differently
Listening to the ted talk I felt a bit sad because I feel like we are almost at the year 2030 and nothing has changed from the year this was posted. I feel like other countries have progressed but some wanted to but never moved. Someone should make a part two, "How to make the world a better place by 2080...hopefully"

It also tells us that we’re not slaves to GDP
When I took an economics class in high school we talked a lot about GDP. It seemed like the pride of the united states is power (nationalism). The US mindset is a Large economy=best country in the world, creating a false concept that we are also ranked first in every criteria. For example, United States Ranking internationally: education #26, health #26, cultural influence#4, and opening a small business#45.

exploit or deny basic rights to anybody,
I believe that the author wants the reader to acknowledge the good and bad sides of humanity. Though we should always act compassionately towards others, sadly we live in a world that is not perfect.
