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?

FIRES
Fires from our fireplace release large amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. I think we should all cut down on the amount of fires we have this year. Only one a year would be ideal or even less.
Thats true or people could invest in the nest thermostat.
This is true but thermostats still have a negative effect.
I like josh's neat idea of that thermostat. Maybe you could be a sales person for them. I'm sure they would be glad to have such a devoted employee. I might have to look into Nest after for eloquent and captivating reminder about the positive effects of Nest!
