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?

Cooking Gas
Instead of using gas to cook in school we should try electric stoves. Co2 is affecting the environment and it's time to make a change. If we switch to electric it will be easier to make food with a good benefit of helping the environment. If we continue using these cooking tools with gas, in a few years it maybe too late.
Great Idea, not only would this be good for the environment, but electric stoves are much safer than gas stoves. This could reduce fires, which also cause CO2 to be released into the atmosphere. These stoves are definitely affecting our environment, and would be easy to change.
