Paragraph to sum up
In my notes the most important things I learned were what most cultures speak in the world village. I also learned that almost 1 third of the world breathes non-clean air that is bad for your body. Also that 1/4 of the world doesn't have electricity. Also half of the world averages $6 a day in wealth. Also learned about the amount of animals, and that there are 700 chickens, 7 times the worlds population.
