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?

Conserving Water
There are many things that people can do around their house to conserve water that can eventually make a big impact on our world and environment. For example, turning the water off when washing your hair in the shower or turning off the water when brushing your teeth. Also, people should try to take shower 5-10 min long so they aren't wasting too much water.
