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?

Decrease meat eating
Go vegetarian at least one day per week. Cutting off meat for this amount of time alone leads to decreased emissions of greenhouse gasses from meat production industry. If we do this all together, we can make a big difference
I definitely agree! Cows emit so much methane and take so many gallons of water to raise. I think it's great that more people are trying to lessen their meat intake even if it's only just by having a few vegetarian meals a week. I hope that people will begin to realize just how much of an impact they make when they choose a plant-based meal over a meal with animal products.
I completely agree! People often overlook the MASSIVE impact of animal agriculture. Right now, vegetarians and vegans have access to so many amazing replacements and substitutes that taste so much like meat and other animal products. I understand that not everyone can go vegan or vegetarian or even pescatarian due to health and/or economic conditions, however, if you are fully able to, you should. If everyone who could went vegan or vegetarian, the world would massively reduce their CO2 emissions
God, I love me some good ole' meat. Nothing tastes better then a nice medium-rare steak.
bro last night i had some juicy steak
it was awesome
You know what's up.

When it comes to vegans, just no.

FEAR THE POWER OF THE DEMOLITIA
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I wouldn't mind going full vegan if the options were better. all vegan meals I've eaten haven't been able to enjoy it in any way. It is a bit self centered but there are projects out there working to make more realistic tasting and texture. Thats just me though.
