Questions done!

Another short update. I have finished the questions for the survey (they number 19) and inputting the values that each answer will reflect. I may have to do some balancing to make sure that the values come together correctly (make sure my calculations for footprints are at least ballpark. All of the values are based off data I could gather from various sources, but I had trouble finding full breakdowns of any of the average footprints, so I had to piece a lot of it together.

 I'm not too worried about getting too exact, as my purpose was never to fully and perfectly calculate someone's footprint, but rather to create an estimate and display it visually to get viewers to think more about their daily lives. However, I don't want one person to come along, and input data to find that they have a water footprint of 2 gallons a day, and another person to come along and find out they have a water footprint of 15,000 gallons a day (unless they legitimately eat A LOT[and by a lot, I mean a couple pounds a meal] of meat, which if that's the case, they need to be more worried about their health than their ecological footprint...)

That being said, the water footprint can be surprisingly high. If someone eats a pound of beef, three meals a day, every day, their daily water-footprint from that alone is 5400 gallons a day.

That's an EXTREME case...but there could be someone out there. You never know...

Connectivity!

Just a quick update: I HAVE CONNECTIVITY. More specifically, I found a way to update and read xml.
