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?

Are Wants Really Necessary At This Moment?
People are too obsessed with their wants. They don't understand that too much want will result in not being able to have any wants anymore. The amount of carbon that is produced by things that aren’t necessarily a need, is a lot. If we were to use more natural resources to make things that aren’t as necessary, then we could have more of the things that we want. We need to focus on the things that make our planet better for now, and worry about the things that we want later. We make excuses and turn our wants into needs, which aren’t that necessary.
Very interesting, good job all in all.!
