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?

Take The Step
In our generation, we use cars a lot even to go places very close just because we are lazy. If we all just walk or bike to places that we can instead of using a car we can cut down on the CO2 emitted into our atmosphere. Just trying to avoid using a car can really be a great help to our environment.
