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?

Unplug Your Technology
Many people have their computers and phones plugged in at all times they can. While this does make sure your phone or computer never dies, it also means that you are wasting energy after you have a full charge. If you see your phone is at 100%, and you don't plan on using it right then and there you can just keep it unplugged.
