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?

Student footprints by charlie the star
For my topic I chose student footprints. This topic asks “Do you see differences across the globe? If so, why do you think they exist.?” Well, good question. I do see a difference across the globe, because everybody is different, and every place is different. We all use things differently and we all use the amount of things different than everyone else. Some places generally have more money, so they get and use more things to cause their footprint.
