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?

Bye Bye trees
According to Nature fund, the "current rate of tree-felling is 10 times quicker than the rate of reforestation" this means that we are cutting down more trees that we are re-planting. This causes the animals who's habitats are being destroyed to die off because their shelter is being abolished.
