7 Billion

The words "But we don't take up as much space as you'd think.
Standing shoulder to shoulder all 7 billion of us would fill the city of Los Angeles.
So it's not space we need – it's balance" mean to me that if our population reaches 7 billion we need to create the right balance between managing garbage, our space and our differences.


9100000000% Of people in our world do not have clean drinking water.
26600000000% Of people in our world lack adequate sanitation.

Behind the Sense of Nolan MacInnis

 


 Behind My Name: Nolan

Before I started this assignment, I thought my name was Nolan, because that is what my parents named me I think my parents chose this name for me because they read they book of names and saw that this name was from Irish/English orgin and it means champion/famouse.

After searching on Behind the Name (http://www.behindthename.com/), I learned that my name means champion/famouse. It is from Irish/English orgin. Some other interesting things I learned are that my name is derived from the name O Nuallain descentdent of the Nuallan. I'm proud to share this name with a baseball great Nolan Ryan aswell as Owen Nolan.I think this name suits me well because I love to be a champion and I will do almost anything to win.
If I could give myself a new name, it would be Douglas, because I think this is a very cool name and a famouse hockey players name is Doug Gilmour. My father grew up with this person and I also know him pretty good.
