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?

Deforestation
Deforestation threatens the flora, fauna and suil. In hundred years there will be not rainforest, so they won't be able to regulate the Earth's temperature, trees won't absorb the dangerous carbon dioxide or provide the oxygen that we need to brathe. If we don't stop deforestation, our plant and animal species will be extinct.
