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?

Tiny Houses
Tiny house are a small compact house that can benefit the environment. These house are usually only about 100 - 500 Sq. feet but they hold a lot. Since they are so small they are usually energy efficient. They also have composting toilets and low pluming. These small house have great potential but people don't recognize them like they should.
Tiny houses for tiny people Cian
Yes but you need to use a diesel truck to move them, and tiny houses are typically moved.
Diesel trucks are bad for the enviroment
True but if people don't to move the house they can get land and live there.
And today we have a new video
it depends because sometimes people with tiny houses resort to other spaces or places to entertain themselves and emit a larger quantity or cor2
I believe that these houses are great to solve many of carbon emission problems and one way to reduce your carbon footprint yet it is very hard for some people to accommodate in such small places specially for those with big families. Yet it is very efficient and it is also a very cheap way to start your life when you are young so i believe that these are good as temporary solutions.

I think these houses are a good theoretical solution but I see a problem in them due to their practicality. It would be very hard for people to adapt from a normal sized house to a tiny one. It is a great idea but I dont think a lot of people would be willing to do it.
Some houses do not hold enough space for a whole family. Some of these families would like enough space for themselves and specially for their children. These houses might not hold enough resources like water or electricity for every member of the family.
