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 HOUSE
MY Family Footprint
The house I would live on a hill by my school, high school, or college. My house would be a two story house with solar power, all of my of my fridge, stove ,TV's, etc are electric. I’ll get my food from farming and animals, I’ll also make my food so I don’t have’t to by it from the store, also I’ll make my clothes and other things with cloth out of wool and other cloth fibers. My water will be from collecting rain and nearby strims, the waste water will go to farms and animals. My heating system is from heat from the sun and solar panel fans and my car is a electric car.
Very interesting idea, but I don't think you would get enough water. The stream water also may be unhealthy so how could you filter it ?
