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?

Invest in the Future
Global warming is real, and society should be more invested in our world's future. The actions of today impact the next generations of people and life, so society should be more open to thinking ahead rather than stay in the present. Right now, we can all conserve water easily and compost and recycle as much as possible. It's the little changes in your lifestyle that can make a big difference. Carpooling and using public transit as much as possible will incresingly lower your carbon footprint as well.
