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?

Recycling paper
Recycling is really important for us and for our community. I think it should be often to see in all homes across the whole world. We can recycle lots of things we use every day as: plastic bottles, batteries, glass, paper....
Recycling paper is really important because we need to save our forests. Deforestation is one of the biggest problems in our world. We need forest beacause they produce oxygene for our breathing. All in all we can all help with small thing. We need to start doing someting, we need to save our planet
Recycling and trying to produce the least amount of trash possible is one of the best ways you can contribute to saving the environment. planting trees is also a very good way of preserving the environment
I agree with both of you, trash is one of the biggest impacts on climate change and recycling definitely changes this impact. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste and reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved. If we can preserve the rainforest and trees just because of recycling, that makes a huge impact and especially since planting tress is a good way of preserving the environment, not cutting down trees and desroying rainforests would be the equivalent.
