- today the village is growing at about 1.
- around the year 2,150 there will be 250 people in the village this is important because scientists think this is the maximum number of people on Earth, and even the there may be widespread shortages of food.
The thing that surprised me most about the statistics of our world were that some families don't even get enough money so their kids have to stay home and work instead of learn, this could happen starting at the age of 6 or 7. I was also very surprised on the fact that all of the people on Earth work very hard but they don't even raise very much a year. Something that had upset me was the fact that it was sometimes hard for some people to find good water that they could drink from because some of them could barely get any drinkable water. Something I wish I could change is that all people could get water and it would not be harmful to drink. Another thing I wish I could change is how many people can breathe clean air, while the other 32 remain without fresh air, so I wish that i can make it for everyone to have good and healthy air to breathe. The fact that they said around the year 2150 there will be 250 people in the village and they will barely be able to feed all of them. I would want to improve this by making sure enough food is being made for everyone to get the right amount they need to survive. I would make sure that enough food is being made for everyone to survive and I would chip in so that everyone gets their food when they need it. I would also make sure that kids are getting the proper education that they should be getting and they would not have to work only adults would, kids learn adults work.
