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?

Do we need new cell phones?
No, we do not need a new phone when the one that we have right now works perfectly fine. It is a waste of money and a waste of energy. People take having phones for granted because many kids in this world have probably never even touched a phone.
