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?

Easy Ways to Conserve Water
Water is a necessity that every living thing on Earth needs to be able to survive. According to the EPA, an average American household wastes about 90 gallons of water each day. This wasteful nature can be reduced by just changing a few things. Like, don't leave the water running when you are brushing your teeth or washing your hands. By just reducing your shower to 10 minutes, you can help save gallons of wasted water daily.
