Student Footprints

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?

Food and hunger

Jayleeanna A

Have you ever experienced hunger before? I'm not talking just hunger wanting a snack, I'm talking about real hunger. Hunger can be defined as an uncomfortable painful sensation caused by the lack of consuming food, not getting the right amount of calories, or not getting the right amount of nutrients. Not everyone wants to feel this terrible feeling. Some people don't have the luxury of being able to eat every night or to eat enough to feel full. As people, we should be able to see and notice this problem that's happening all around us. There are many ways you can help whether it be small or big. Any gesture goes a long way. All those cans you don't use in your pantry. You could start by donating to your community. Many food drives go on in every individual community. Just being aware of this problem is also another small gesture that can help. Spreading this topic can change the POV of many and maybe even inspire them. Pay attention to how much you eat and how much you waste. What do you do with your leftovers? How much do you usually have left over? Have you ever thought that all the food you buy you may not need? If you realize that most of your food ends up going to waste it would be best to either donate it or just cut down on the consumption. You can sign up for organizations and donating a little bit can go a long way. There are food and hunger problems everywhere. 100% of counties have food insecurities. Consuming food even after you are full is called gluttony. Be aware of what you are eating, how much, and why.
