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?

Composting
Composting is important because you give back nutrients to the Earth to benefit you later. So if you have leftover fruit, banana peels, or anything else organic, put it in the composting bin or even in your backyard to give back the nutrients the Earth needs.
