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?

Pollution
Not only should we not litter, but whenever we see trash on the ground, we should always pick it up. People are always going to litter, no matter what, and stopping them from littering is next to impossible. One additional thing we could all do to help the environment is pick up trash. This would counteract the actions of those who don't care enough about the environment to do anything. The next time you see a piece of trash laying on the ground, pick it up and help make our earth a cleaner place for everyone.
