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?

Do We Need New Phones?
I believe that to make a good carbon footprint, don't get a new phone every year. Any time a new phone comes out everyone has one. If you buy the new Samsung or iPhone and keep it till it physically doesn’t work anymore, then you will leave a good carbon footprint. This might slow business down for Samsung or Apple, but the environment matters more than a phone.
I feel like we don't it is mainly just a want not a need. everyone wants but we should look mainly on our needs
