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?

To start, unplugging your electronics right after they are fully charged, and always turning off your lights when they aren't in use can help conserve an abundance of energy. Having solar panels installed is a beneficial way to ensure the conservation of energy. Other forms of energy conservation include but are not limited to: wind-turbines, solar hot water heaters, and fuel efficient cars.
