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?

My footprint and the consequences
I was very surprised after I calculated my footprint because I observed that the level of it is not so high, compared with the minimum from Romania which is requested. But, I need to take into account that I use energy and water at home more than is normal, so I should tell my Family about the consequences and put a limit.
I believe that the footprint has a big impact on the environment so I need to use less the energy by turn off the Lights that I don't use and to save the water by taking short showers.
