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?

Needs/Wants
So these days people are doing a lot of want shopping and not enough need shopping. For example people are getting a new pair of shoes almost every month and maybe cutting back on getting groceries and going hungry. This needs/wants situation is happening a lot more than we realize. So if we can get people to cut back the world would be so much more better in reducing purchases. So help me help make this world a better place for all!
