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
Getting the newest technology is a want because people don't need it. It just causes issues for earth and controls people and consumes them. People don't need them- they want them. Others are just addicted to there phones. I'll be on vacation and all i'll see is people on there phone just walking around. Even though most of the time it's a want, it's a need as well.Some people don't think about that, but business people need them. People need them for medicine and to make sure people are healthy. Some need them to manufacture and design cars.
