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?

Zero Waste?
Sounds crazy I know, but imagine producing ZERO waste, literally. By buying in bulk, using mason jars and reusable containers, you get rid of plastic and box wrapped foods! Not only are you saving the environment, but you save your health and some money in your pocket! (save the trees!) With any of your scrap foods (not meats) toss them in your compost bin! No scraps for the landfills.
