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?

Climate Change
Climate Change is bad. The Earth will overheat if it continues. Nine of the ten warmest years on record have occurred since 2000. The polar ice caps will melt and many animals will go extinct. In 2012 arctic summer sea ice shrank to the lowest extent on record.We need to stop climate change and fix the Earth.
