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?

Recycling
By recycling your waste, materials will not mix and it's easier to seperate them from each other. This will decrease the amount of materials being wasted by just throwing them out, because by recycling you can reuse materials. This will also decrease the energy consumption in the world.
