  2. I think this video is awesome. It would be a great addition to a lesson for high school class because I think this age frame has some prior knowledge and can understand the concepts presented, but can still gain knowledge from the now ideas shown. It might be too advanced for elementary of even middle school because it talks about some comparisons like carbon off set that may be too advanced for younger children. Overall the message is great and I learned some things I didn't know!

  3. I think its really sad that with the resources that America has were came in last out of all the countries of the world.It was a good idea for National Geographic to do the test so that progress can be tracked for each country and the overall planet.I like the idea that Brighter Planet has with earning points. A lot of people say that they can't do anything because of the cost. But this system makes it simple, like earning flying miles. People are already buying food, and gas so why not help the earth at the same time? This makes in simple for people to get involved.

  5. I liked this video, the person could represent any of us, and its easy to put ourselves in that position of the character inthe video. I think its very important to know what your carbon footprint it, and I'm sure many of us will be surprised by the results.
