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?

Composting
I did not know composting was an actual thing until my APES teacher talked about how he had his own compost box. Now, every time I throw away an orange peel or banana peel in the trashcan, I think about the other things I could do instead such as composting. Composting is an organic way to produce fertile soil. I never knew composting was a thing and it really fascinates me! Can anyone tell me more about how they compost?
