Writing Feedback / Essay paper: Do you think it is possible to end extreme poverty. If so, how? [6]
My short answer is, "Yes, we can end extreme poverty by recognizing a shared ownership of natural resource wealth. When industries take natural resources in pursuit of profit or put pollution into the air or water, they should pay a fee. The people at large should share the proceeds of these fees, to each person an equal amount. The value of natural resources has been estimated to exceed $33 trillion per year. (Robert Costanza, et al, Nature, 1997) That would be about $20 per day for everyone on the planet."

I will try to offer suggestions about grammar, etc., later. I have responded to the content here, not the presentation.
