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?

Compost In Other States
I believe that we should compost in more states in the U.S.A for many reasons. Primarily, composting helps make new soil, for new plants to grow in and reduces food waste in landfills. Compost helps improve plant growth, and can make new jobs. The compost industry is sustainable, and creates constant jobs with good pay. This allows old soil to be replaced with newer, healthier and more sustainable soil.
