Where Do You Fall? (IP)

There are people un undeveloped

countries suffering because Americans use more than our share of resources.

Where Do You Fall? (IP)

Americans should give up luxury items (“extras”—iPhones, Macbooks, iPods, etc.) so that we consume fewer of the world’s resources.

Where Do You Fall? (IP)

The government should be able to force people to consume fewer resources. (make laws about how many possessions you can have)

Where Do You Fall? (IP)

The government should make a law that limits how many children we can have, or that stops some people from having children at all.
