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?

Trash
I think that as a generation we aren’t doing enough for our environment as we could be. People say that it is easy to help the environment. Well, it is if you decide you want to. So many, too many people throw away a ton of perfectly good food, this only leads to increase on methane gas seeping into the atmosphere.
Not only can we stop this by separating our trash but we can also try being less lazy and to do this we just need to think of everything that could happen if we don’t throw our trash away properly. Thinking about all the consequences should be a good enough push to do the right thing, hopefully.
I think as a whole we can do better, we can help the environment if we just try.
