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?

Carbon footprint
I could do a challenge in our school to see who has the least amount of carbon dioxide every month and the winner can win a prize or something and that can motivate people to help the environment. I’m going to try to eat less beef at home with my family because beef can cause global warming because the cows fart and the methane that they produce traps heat.
