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?

Home Grown Food
Eat more local and organic foods. I already do this a lot, my mom doesn’t like to buy produce from across the sea or other countries, to help the farmers here in delta. Since its summers now, we are growing our own strawberries, tomatoes, beans, chives, parsley, basil, and snow peas. Doing this will help ships, planes and trucks importing food save gas and not use as much carbon. Also home grown and local organic food is better for your health. And they just taste better.
hello
I agree
Me too
Mainly due to people wanting over-sea exotic foods.
Yes its true
Much agreement has happened
