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?

Are you worried about ocean acidification? If so, why?
I am worried about ocean acidification because many people could die. For example, there are many people who live on the coast of the ocean whose lives depend on oysters. And because of this ocean acidification it makes oysters stop growing which makes them die. Therefore these people will not have enough food to survive. So then since their main source of food is gone they will eventually die. Making all these people who depend on them to make stuff not be able to get those things and so on. So in the end if we stop making all this carbon and putting it in the ocean we will save not only many ocean creatures lives but humans lives just the same. According to this article“If you ignore it, it’s only going to get worse. Plain and simple: It will get worse.”
