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?

Thinking Sustainable
We should all strive to have sustainable thoughts at all times. It would help us to remember that every action we make counts towards or against our environment. For example, if we are thinking of sustainability when we wake up in the morning, we may decide to walk or take public transportation instead of driving to school or work. These little thought can turn into big actions, which can positively effect our world.
