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?

Afraid of the future
Today in my English class, we talked about Richard Williams, better know as Prince EA. Seeing his videos and listening to his words reminded me of Will Smith and many other who are truly afraid of what the future holds for us. Why? Simple answer : we destroy our home. As simple as it seems, it is the worst thing human race could do. I recommend you to listen to theirs words because they will really make you realise what is going on. There is no planet that we can go to besides Earth. I am afraid too. Earth exists for few billion years, but will it for the next 400? We got a beautiful home for free, yet we destroyed it as much we could. We won't know what we have until we lose it. Do you realise the climate change? Think of what your grandchildren will have to go through. Raise awareness. One human cannot do much, but two can. Two will become 20 and later 50 and who knows. We just have to be determined. Help me. Help Earth. Help YOURSELF.
