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?

Thrifting
We are a very materialistic society, and this is detrimental to the environment. Thrifting is a great way to find clothes for good prices, and help the planet. Next time you are thinking of buying that new article of clothing, think if you could find a similar one in a thrift store.
I agree. Thrifting is a very fun way to buy clothes without having to spend as much money. You can get great quality clothes for cheaper and it helps the environment.
