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?

wants or needs
I think that technology is very important for us but for a lot of people specially young people technology isn't a need but a want.
I have a mobile phone since 2011 and it works still fine; I don't need a new mobile phone, I think people shouldn't buy unnecessary electronics.
Honestly when I bought a new electric I didn't think about the environment but this project help me to reflect about this, I'm not an addicted but I was impressed about my global impact.
In my opinion if we learn to buy something only for need, global environment would suffer much less.
