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?

yellow jackets
what do you think about the yellow jackets in france
I think that advocates for addressing climate change need to make sure that climate policies don't disproportionately hurt poor and working people. Such people should be allies in climate change, not opposing forces!
It seems like it was a major mistake for Macron not to recognize this in the beginning, hopefully the France protests will be a big wake up call to all leaders who wish to take serious action to address climate change in their countries.
