Improve Your Life With Geography in 2008.

In 2008, My Wonderful World will issue a monthly call to action. Surveys reveal that less than 20 percent of young Americans have a world map. Yet, U.S. News & World Report cited geography as
one of the “50 Ways to Improve Your Life in 2008.” Geography guru Matt Rosenberg recommends that people get an atlas and use it “like they use a dictionary.” When you read or hear a place name you don’t know, look it up! This month’s challenge: Get an up-to-date atlas or map for your house or classroom.
This sounds like there will be some great challenges. I would like to challenge anyone that reads this blog to get an atlas for themselves, or if you are going the way of the digital world, bookmark, digg or tag an atlas type website, so that you will be able to keep up with the global society we are quickly becoming a part of.
