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?

Institute More Portable Chargers
We need to bring more portable chargers into this world! They dont require being plugged into a wall 24/7 and you can keep your phone at a high power! I think this would be good because if you have a strong enough, you only need to charge the portable charger once or twice a week (Unless you have a weak one) I think we need to bring them back!
i agree alex, this will not only conserve energy for or homes and at school but it will also help save money with your family and school. bi at the same time it is not always necessary to have your phone plugged into something. try conserving your battery buy not being on your phone as much will also help.
I really don't think using portable chargers, as opposed to regular charging, will help reduce your carbon footprint. Regardless of whether you use a portable charger or not, you still have to either charge the charger or charge the phone. The portable charger may seem like it uses less energy, but it really doesn't. It's just made to hold more energy, which can be used to charge your phone multiple times. However, i will agree that energy is wasted when keeping chargers plugged into the wall.
Personally, I own a portable charger. I have to charge it every night because of how fast my phone dies and it takes much longer to charge than my phone. I have left it plugged in while I'm at school before and it still hasn't been fully charged. So I agree with RedneckAsian and don't think that this will really help.
