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?

How bad is private transport, especially to the rich
I keep seeing that transportation is bad and that it should change which I agree with, but people keep saying that raising prices will affect the amount of private transport but what about the people that profit off of oil and have lots of money and don't really care about the environment. How should we approach this (assuming we can't sue them because of the money they've made)
I think we should approach this by telling the rich what they are doing that is messing up the environment and how they can fix what they are doing so they don't mess up the environment as much. That is probably the most we can do, the rest is up to them.
