I love National Geographic! I read an interesting article about how your world will change once the worlds population hits 7BILLION! NatGeo speaks about how Food, Fuel, and Protection will become more difficult to have. In one section of the article it showed a small family living in poverty and it says:
one in seven people on earth live in slums today. Providing them with better housing and education will be one of the greatest challenges facing a world of seven billion and counting.
I think everyone should take a few moments to read this!
Furthermore, in my reading there was an incredible article of a Native American community who called themselves the Cahokia. The article speaks about how in the mid 12th-century Cahokia was the largest native community in North America. Smaller settlements shared similar featurs of the Cahokia's. Such as large plaza's, platform mounds, and protective stockades. NatGeo calls this, Americas lost City. The Cahokia Mounds in Illinois is one of eight cultural world heritage sistes in the U.S. [if you go onto NationalGeogrpahic.com and type in 'Cahokia' the article will pop up...take time to read of our true settlers] It's incredible to think of what the United States us to be. I have such a respect for Native American and find the tribes history fasinating. Road Trip to Illinois anyone?
If you do decide to take a road trip to Illinois, you must stop in Metropolis, the hometown of Superman!
