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?

Recycle
While there are many people that do recycle bottles, paper, plastics etc., there are also many that do not. This act cuts back on the production of plastic, which would have a very positive impact on CO2 emissions. So take the time not to just throw everything in the trash and to help our future world.
