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?

Finding Better Ways to Dispose of Trash
Landfills and garbage yards are just not healthy for our Earth. This system of just lazily dumping our trash into piles and leaving them there is just not safe. This is especially unsafe, because runoff from these landfills goes into the oceans and then fish and all other sea creatures just suffer from our laziness and our ignorance.
so what do you propose as a solution?
like what is your idea for a better way to deal with it
A better way would be to eliminate the use of non-recyclable products so that we could just recycle everything. Which is unlikely of ever happening, but is still a possibility. I just don't like the idea of dumping it all somewhere and then when those landfills get full decide to dump all of the trash in other countries so that it's now their problem.
