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?

Water Conservation at home!
There are many things we can do to conserve water in our homes. While waiting for your shower to heat up to your desired temperature, hold a bucket up to the spicket to catch the beautiful water flowing out of the spicket. After you take your shower and dress, take that water pail and pour it onto the tulips growing in your garden. It's a win-win situation not only is the earth happy but you are too!
I completely agree and think this is a wonderful idea! This post is also written beautifully!! Good job!
