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 have to do something
Global warming is a real and dangerous thing. I think that a lot of people don’t know many things about changes around us. It’s obvious that people don’t even care as much. I think that teachers should put more of attention to it and talk to their students. Imagine just for a one day that everybody in the world wouldn’t throw garbage around, that they would put it in a can. I think we can “create” a better planet because the Earth never wanted to be “dirty” so we should make it clean.
I agree Global warming is an important problem that is often being ignored. Many people that are not well educated in global warming push this problem aside because they do not think it is as important as others. This is incorrect because the earth is getting worse and worse every day.
