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?

WE SHOULD REDUCE OUR FOOTPRINT
I think that most of us are not aware of what does it mean to have a high or a low footprint, and that also, they don’t know how much it can affect to the earth and therefore it can affect to every single one of us, every single living creature on earth.
If in our daily life, we try to recycle our garbage into the appropriate container, if we don’t spend so many time in the shower, if we turn off the lights before we leave home, if we correct our bad manners, I think we will reduce our footprint and will live in a better place.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. It is the little things we can do in our everyday lives that really makes a huge difference and helps to reduce our footprint! We should all pay more attention to what we are doing with all the resources (water,gas,electricity) we have!
