What surprised me about the statistics of our world was how few supplies the global village has compared to how much supplies the real world has (currently). I am upset by how little of stuff that the 100 humans produced. I wish we could plant more food and breed more animals. I am sad because some kids have to work instead of go to school, and don't have enough food. I could help to buy food for the families that have to send their kids to work because they don't have enough money.
