For my project, I want to compare how less-developed countries (specifically India) produce a significantly smaller carbon footprint in comparison to more developed countries (specifically America)....

Sustainability for the future should rely on what has worked in the past and away from more production.

For my project, I want to compare how less-developed countries (specifically India) produce a significantly smaller carbon footprint in comparison to more developed countries (specifically America). I also want to compare how traditional Indian practices are far more sustainable in comparison to what is being done today. The category my project falls under is Building a Better Future, but I kind of want to flip the question into going back to the past is a better future. We do not really to advance in technology all the time to create a more sustainable way of living. In fact, I argue it is much better to resort to a simpler and older way of living instead of in a culture of consumption.
