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 or Needs
Having the latest technology is definitely a want, we don't necessarily need it in our daily lives. I get a new phone every year or every other year. No you don't need the newest ones, most phones do the same things with the same purposes. Although some of the newer phones can download and process different apps. But that depends on the model and sometimes the company. Not really until now do I realize the impact of they way I and some others use technology. If you are so called addicted to your mobile device, try to spend some time away from it. I got mine taken away about a month and now I don't think I really need it.
