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?

Healthier food
I should start form my self eating healthier food and then the change will begin in my house. Eating healthier will make a little change by decreasing polluting agents so there could be less pollution around the world. If I stop eating junk food I would contribute to decrease industrialization. As we know all the industry food contains lots of chemicals that affect our world, while eating vegetables I will contribute in a positive way to our environment.
That's a great idea! I would suggest you to buy especially vegetables, fruits or cereals that are grown in the fields next to your city. As you may know, that can really help if we are talking about preventing the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, because the less is the transportation of those products needed, the less pollution we create. Hope you can make it! Sorry for my poor english.
