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?

Sustainability Is Key!
We should all try our best to live a sustainable lifestyle to protect the Earth. There are plenty of everyday tasks that include uses of items that have a negative effect on our environment. These can easily be replaced with much more environmentally friendly. A few examples include using metal straws, bringing your own reusable bag while shopping, reusable cutlery, bringing your own water bottle, and fabric napkins. (you can also try shopping package free) These are just a few of many sustainable zero waste items you can use in your everyday life.
