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?

Solar
Using solar energy will help reduce the amount energy we use because it is renewable energy unlike fossil fuels and other natural resources used for electricity. Using solar will not only help reduce the amount of energy we use but it will help reduce the amount of pollutants that come from the factories utilized to make energy.These factories which produce pollutants or harmful gases help contribute to a bigger problem which is global warming. The pollutants that come from these factories increase the earth's temperature which has risen one whole degree since the Ice Age and is a big problem.
I would like to set up some solar powered Led strips around my house to kill 2 birds with one stone
