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?

Start Reusing
A big part of my carbon foot print was because I do not recycle the plastic water bottles I drink daily. I think I will start drinking out of a reusable container so I will not be throwing away as many plastic containers, which harm the environment.
That sounds like a great idea. Reusing the same container could have a major impact on the environment. Many times people don't recycle their plastic waste and it is much better to use a reusable container than to improperly discard of a recyclable one
Plus the reusable ones are much cuter

hello
by recycling plastic bottles you can have a big impact, just by starting the movement of your school you can develop a culture or tradition this can be later used through bottle bricks
I live in Guatemala and I am willing to start recycling and reusing materials such as plastic and paper. I feel that in school and at home I use to many paper and just throw it away. To recycle plastic I will get a bin and place all the reusable plastics and the other plastics I will despose in a special bin.
Reusing plastic water bottles is a great option but using one every single day is even better. Most people buy plastic bottles everyday and never re use them more, moreover we should try to avoid buying plastic bottles.
