If the World was 100 People

An email went round the world, based on Donella Meadows idea, helping us understand the huge numbers of people in the world in terms of a Village of 100 People.

Its been going round the world since 1990... Jane used it in her GCSE presentation... Wendy got a copy of it from a friend... I've used it at club... and we talked about it on Tuesday... if you want to know more or want to pass it on, check out the following sites.

100 People: A World Portrait is a video with some American 4th Graders (based on the original 1990 data)

Miniature Earth is a 2001 updated video


The Geography Site has a 2005 updated list...

...and if we can't find an updated video...let's make one!

What a cool idea! I really liked all the stuff we talked about. Can you be rich and be a Christian? Depends on what you mean by rich. "You cannot love both God and money." Anything we can do to raise awareness of the issue would be good
