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 phones when ours work perfectly fine?
Do we really need new phones when ours are working perfectly fine?In our society cellphones are needed, but we don’t always need the newest ones. Peolpe need to understand that just because their are new phones doesn’t mean your need to buy them. To help prevent the amount of carbon wasted we need to use phones until the worn out. If it breaks, fix it you don’t need to waste money on a new one just because yours cracks. We need to become more satisfied with what we have and be grateful that we even have phones.
No we don’t. Just because a new model comes out doesn’t mean we need it.
