Today, in cities, 85% of places are inaccessible to people in wheelchairs, to those [who]  are overweight, visually impaired, elderly or simply pregnant.
Ensuring accessibility doesn't have to be complex or costly.  A simple ramp in an office that has a step down from one room to another, as shown in this video, can be constructed easily.  Drinking cups by a conventional water fountain makes it easy enough for those in wheelchairs to have a drink. A social media campaign - Google+ | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram - can make people aware and informed on how best to help a visually-impaired person they may encounter.  Such solutions simply require a little bit of willingness and ingenuity.
