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?

Helping to a Sustainable Earth
When people get older they seem to care less about throwing away trash, and it isn't okay. It's better to throw garbage in the wrong bin than litter because it can harm land and water animals and even kill them, and can effect the air we breathe. If we can be a little more cautious of throwing away garbage in trash cans we can keep the Earth much more sustainable.
