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?

Wants and Needs
Humans want things more than they need things. Do we really need things that we want. If you ask me there is a huge difference between "wants" and "needs". Needs are basically something that you find amusing and/or entertaining. I have come to the realization of not gettting anything that I don't need. I used to think that one person can't make a difference but to be honest now that I think about it one person can make a huge difference. So the question we should keep asking ourselves is "do I need it?" Or "do I want it?"
