- 80 people have gotten vacines and will live longer.
- The village, past, present, and future
- 100 people live here now, 1 person lived here in 1,000 B.C.E
- in 500 B.C.E, 2 people lived in the village, in 1 C.E 3 people lived there. in 1,000 5 people lived there. In 1500 8 people lived there, in 1650 10 people lived there. In 1800 17 people lived there, In 1900 32 people lived there, and in 2012 there were 100 people in the village!
- It will grow about 1.15 people per year. around the year 2150 there will be 250 people in the village!
- 250 is the maximum amount of people in the village. We will run out of food and basic supplies which we need in our world.
- What surprised me is that the world was not just over populated but the rate it was increasing was extremely fast and soon are planet would run out of space. Also the amount of people in the world who don't have access to clean, and fresh water. I wish that everyone had access to fresh water and no children or people would starve, and the fact that people and children are starving because they don'y have enough money to pay for some. I wanted to make sure that no one would starve and that everyone should have clean water so they will not get diseases from unclean water or anything, or they should get full health care. If I could I would try to make sure every kid and parents in Africa will get clean meals and not disease filled water.
