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?

turn off the lights
we should start save energy because who wants to hear their mom fuss about the light bill and asking you if you are going to pay the bill.
Is your Mother complaining really the only reason you think you should turn the lights off? The energy being expended and wasted is damaging to the environment. But moreover, your mother is right she should not have to pay for you being lazy and leaving all of your lights on.
