National Geographic: Interdependence

Curated by ACT

Use this interactive to explore how interconnected the global economy is. After creating a character, gather some clothes together and enter their origin information into your database. Then look at your own interdependence map and compare it with what others have entered. The story does not stop there, however, because each item is made of raw materials that come from elsewhere. Explore the making of an MP3 player and a pair of jeans, and earn badges as you make good decisions along the way.
