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?

Today, people realize that the Earth is in danger.
Today, many scientists and ordinary people realize that the Earth is in danger. Either we stop killing the Earth or we kill ourselves. The protection of the environment is a universal concern. Active measures should be taken to create an international system of ecological security. Some progress has been made in this direction. Many people belong to Green organizations in countries all over the world. Groups like "Green Peace" have already helped to stop some animals hunting but there are so many things to be done on our planet and our life on the Earth depends only on ourselves.
I agree the earth is dying and we are the only ones who can stop it the planet cannot last this long by how we use all this carbon. In my opinion I believe there is other alternatives we should use such as bikes and skates anything that does not involve carbon also using less electricity.
I agree that the earth is dying and we are the cause of it. If we want our environment to be nice and clean us as human beings need to take care of our planet.
I agree, The earth is dying as we speak and people are just now beginning to take actions to stop this. We are the only ones who could possibly reverse this process of earth slowly dying.
I agree, we need to do comething about that.
I agree. The earth has been plagued by environmental problems and pollution for a long time, but only recently have people started to recognize its effects. We can all recycle or turn off lights or unplug electronics everyday to help solve this problem.
I agree! We all need to start thinking green, not only for ourselves but our children and their children's lives. This great planet we live on, is what allows us to be here.
