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?

Simple things that can be done for the planet.
Students from all over the world can take care of the environment by carrying out simple activities. For example,by classifying the garbage at school and at home, turning off the light of our houses when we are not using them, closing the faucet when we brush our teeth or wash the dishes, recycling paper and plastic we use every week and finally using more our bicycles or walked when distances are short. All these activities can create a surprising change in the environment. Every human being should commit to follow these simple things in order to take care our planet.
