__Living Planet Report: 2012__ Hi everyone! Be prepared to access our Wikispace only at home. As of Friday it is now blocked from school! Let’s hope that changes. I am hoping you can identify an environmental issue(s) that you feel is important to you and to the public and create a way to share or communicate that idea. To help you see the urgency of the current state of the situation please do the following by Tuesday: Read the CNN Article (see the link: Living Planet Report) and view the first video link: __Life on Earth Unsustainable__ Answer the following:
 * 1) What does the report show about our ecological footprint on Earth?
 * 2) How is the gap widening between rich countries and poor countries?
 * 3) How are rich countries responsible for the 40% loss in biodiversity in poor counties?
 * 4) After watching the video, what is Hobart predicting regarding the future transition to a more sustainable lifestyle, given that we have spent decades NOT responding to these issues?
