Students from around the world calculated their class mean and standard deviations for their footprints and posted them on our world map.
Do you see differences across the globe? If so, why do you think those differences exist?
Did you use the calculator to try to reduce your footprint down to the average from a citizen of another country? What changes would you have to make to lower your footprint in this way? Are you going to try and take some of these actions in your daily life?

Fuels
One of our biggest problems with our pollution is the fossil fuels we keep burning. Instead of burning our fossil fuels for our energy we should be using them to make our green energy machines. Make more windmills, water powered damns, and sun panels. Turning our use of the fossil fuels around can be a big help and over time we will turn our pollution problem around. Green energy is the way to go, but using our resources now for the long run to help the earth and us with green energy is a sure start towards our green and healthy future.
