What did you learn about the need for family planning? How do the needs of different people in different places compare to each other?
Eli Hancock 10/04/2023 9:46 AM
What I learned about the need for family planning is that it really depends on where the family lives. Depending on the amount of sun there is, how hot it is, and how much precipitation in the air are only some of the factors that could come into play.

After you determined your carbon footprint, did you see what different choices you can make in order to reduce it?
Eli Hancock 10/02/2023 10:34 AM
After finding out my carbon footprint, some choices I could make to reduce it in my life is maybe to not drive to places as much and instead walk or bike. Another thing I could do to minimize my carbon footprint is to maybe plant trees or bushes in my backyard to help habitats flourish and to get rid of carbon and produce oxygen.
