1 in 7 Billion

“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.”


  In my opinion, I believe these words mean that we have tons of space in this world, but we need to balance our uses. We gotta share the things in this world and not hog everything. Like food because some countries/people don't have enough food in there country to survive and they go hungry. Same goes with water because not everyone in this world have clean water to drink. Not everyone is lucky to live in Canada because we have enough of everything mostly. This world needs to stay balanced for as we live altogether in this world.

 910,000,000 people in our world don't have clean drinking water.
 2,660,000,000 people in our world lack adequate sanitation.
Wow, imagine that.If I were one of these people being affected with no clean drinking water or lack adequate sanitation, then I'll go crazy or wild. I mean with no clean drinking water, I'll die of thirst. I don't know how those people can manage that. I mean imagine no clean drinking water a week, a month, a year even and you might never know when you'll get clean drinking water. How do you suppose a person can survive. I know I wouldn't. A lack of adequate sanitation means no getting clean. I know I can actually never live through a week without being clean, having no shower/baths, no sink. I feel bad for those people who don't have what we have in Canada because I'm living perfectly happy in my home.
