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?

Biology
I find this project very useful,because it shows us how much people actually pollute the environment with their actions.
People pollute the envirnment a lot with Carbon. We have destroyed multiple ecosystems from waste and have made many animals go extinct. Since we are on the topic of biology, many animals are being hurt or threatened by Carbon worldwide. Toxic fuels from airplanes pollute the skies and kill off many birds. Oil from oil rigs tend to leak into the ocean and many fish swim through these oil spills in the ocean pretty much killing them. Mammals can be killed from construction and loss of habitat. This is just 3 of hundreds of examples why we need to limit are Carbon for life.
