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?

wasting Water
The Other thing I bad habit of mine is wasting water. I am very bad at wasting water like when I brush my teeth I let the water go on also when I shave as well. But I have found ways not to waste water. These Tips have helped me a a lot, and one of them is to save left over ice, and to use a rain barrel I got these tips from this website. https://greenactioncentre.ca/reduce-you … ter-waste/ These tips have helped a little.
I was bad at wasting water, but over time i've started looking at the water as money. If you let it run, your basically throwing away money.
Making it a habit to turn off the water when you aren't using it is very good to learn. Also those other ways of collecting water is also a great way of reusing water.
When I was in 4th grade I was told not to waste water, and since then I turn off the water half the time I'm in the shower, I turn off the water unless I need it when brushing my teeth, and when I'm washing the dishes I use as little water as possible. Despite all of this, I still waste some, so if anyone has any other tips for me that would be appreciated!
