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?

Wastewater
Today I was in the bathroom of the school, I saw a girl who didn't turn the tap off and I thought: many people don't think about how much water they waste on a day.
The traditional ways that people waste the water are: do the dishes, have a bath, irrigate, run water when you brush your teeth,... but it's so easy, when you brush your teeth or you wash your hands/dishes you turn the tap off and you don't wast the water, because water is not unlimited.
We need to realize that water is precious and that a lot of people don't have this opportunity to have much water.
right..
