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?
Student Footprints >
most of my footprint comes from eating meat
are you willing to change your diet to lower your footprint? perhaps start by eating one fewer meat meal a week?
I'm sorry but I could never. I'd have trouble passing up a juicy Wendy's burger..
could you eat hamburgers fewer times per week but enjoy each one more?
you can replace some of your meals with vegetables and stop eating so much meat. that will lower your footprint.
