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?

Shorter Showers Are stupendous
Taking shorter showers is great for the environment. When we take very long showers we waste immense amounts of water and we don't even realize it. To help this we can take five minute or less showers
Also, by adding a water saving device to your shower, you can save up to 70% of water normally used while showering.
I agree using less water is better for the environment and we should all start by taking shorter showers and rarely ever take baths. This well overall reduce our impact on the environment and reduce our own carbon footprints.
taking a shorter shower can help save water
Shorter showers can be a good thing so we save fresh drinking water for us to drink.
