Many Third World countries owe more in debt repayments and interest than they earn each year from exports. That makes it impossible for them to repay their debts.

Set A Timer On Your Christmas Tree Lights.
Apart from Christmas mice and the teenager sneaking back into the house next door, nobody is going to be looking at your Christmas tree lights at 2am. So when the holiday season comes round each year, do the planet a favour and get a timer for your tree lights (or just unplug 'em before heading to bed).
You'll save money too - five strings of standard Christmas tree lights burning 24 hours for 30 days could add over £50 to your electricity bill. And you'll be reducing the fire hazard too - lights left on all night cause dozens of Christmas tree fires each year.
And why not check out LED or solar lights for a most eco-friendly tree.
