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?
Student Footprints >
Learn about your carbon footprint and what it means to have one.
I think that is is important for students to learn about what a carbon footprint is and to take the quiz to learn what theirs is. I think that a lot of students are not aware of how much they waste and how it is damaging our environment. If students learn how much they are actually affecting the environment, then they will make changes to their lifestyle. Now that I know what areas I produce the most waste, I know where I should make the most change.
