An estimated 1.7 million deaths per year globally are attributed to unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene; nine of 10 of these deaths occur in children, and nearly all of these occur in developing countries (Prüss-Ustün and Corvalán 2006).
The report estimates that 23% of all deaths globally can be attributed to environmental risks.
Energy shortage and the environmental contamination are the current two of the most common challenges globally, which are mainly attributed to the rapid industrial development and population growth [1].
If you take just the one element of day-to-day banking -- cheques (or checks if you live over the pond) -- the fact is that a large portion of branch traffic globally continues to be attributed to cheque processing.

This has the additional advantage that being global variables, they do not necessarily need to be state variables but can also be used for other purposes, such as environmental observation (e.g. local temperature, humidity) or globally observable behaviour attributes (e.g. battery charging strategy).
Globally, the proportion of deaths attributed to malignant neoplasms has risen from 12.49 % of all deaths in 2002, when they ranked third in worldwide causes of death, to 23.3 % today [14 , 15.
