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?

I learded that i should shut off the water while brushing my teeth. That would have greatly with my score going down. But also it would be good and better if i turneed off all the lights when we leave the house and go to sleep
Yes! also turning off lights and other house hold commonly used appliances. Like fans, portable heaters, unplugging things that are fully charged and more. what could also help is having timed lighting and heating. You can buy outlets for lamps that you can set a timer to turn off after an hour or two which would greatly bring down your score.
I think what your doing right now is great! Doing this everyday would improve our planet's health and your helping by trying to do something! Turning off the lights is a great idea and that is a good consideration.
