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?

Plastic bags
Plastic bags are terrible for the environment, they release harmful toxic chemicals into the ground which we plant our crops in. It also affects animals that live in the ground. We can reduce the amount of chemicals being released into the ground by using reusable bags instead of plastic ones. When you go grocery shopping, bring a reusable bag that way you don't need to buy plastic bags which reduces the amount of people and animals being hurt.
