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?

what can we do to help?
I believe that climate change is a big deal and people should do more about it. I don’t think that going into it and explaining everything about it in class is necessary, but I think that explaining to students what we can do to help climate change and telling them what reduces a lot of carbon and what we do that makes climate change worse, could help.
I read an article called “global warming: case closed” which talked about a lot about denires. Deniers are out there, trying to fight global warming and claiming that global warming is not real and that it has nothing to do with humans and that humans aren’t making global warming worse.
Everybody has different opinions on global warming, and everybody has different solutions. So what are your thoughts?
