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?

Carbon footprint
We are wasting our resources! we need to consider the future for other people. Will they have enough water? Will they there be any oil left? You can answer those questions by your actions. Instead of running the water while your shaving, turn it off. You can save gallons of water by doing just that. Turn the water off when you are brushing your teeth. That is something we all are guilty of. Instead of using plastics bags every time you go to the grocery store, get cloth bags. You can use cloth bags over and over again. If its a cooler day in mid July, turn the air off and open the windows! Nothing beats fresh air. Gas is very important in our transportation division. People rely on cars. If you can walk to places and if you have to even car pool. These are just some out of the many reasons on how we can conserve our resources.
you can recycle your things and make arts and crafts with recycled objects like water bottles, card board, etc...
Recycling can decrease your carbon footprint by a lot. Yes recycling is really good. you can do a lot when you recycle to!
Another way we are wasting water is people throw away water instead of pouring it out in a sink or something before they throw the bottle away, if people did this, this could help out a lot.
Wasting water is a huge problem that we don't even realize, we could do so much more to save water in our daily uses but most people don't care and are careless with water because they think they wont ever have to worry about running out.
I agree. If human was at least smart enough, they would do something creative and save the planet.
