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?

ecology
Nowadays more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that our global environment is getting polluted.
In the ancient times the mankind was living in harmony with nature.
But the human civilization has been developing during the last two centuries, and unfortunately that has had a bad influence on the ecology of our planet.
Deforestation, air and water polluting, too much of using unrenewable sources of energy – these are the main problems.
The environmental protection should become a universal concern and each man should understand the importance of saving our nature.
Some European cities have already changed their “manner” of living.
People start using more bicycles, collecting their garbage, doing the recycling and many other useful things.
But still it hasn’t become the problem of the whole mankind.
We must save the Earth, its ecology and the nature unpolluted for the future generations
