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?

The food is a bomb
In my family, which contains nine people, we tend to need a lot of food to eat. In order to make sure we have enough for everybody, we usually buy or order a lot of food products.Sometimes, my family goes over to another family's house or vice versa and loads of food is always cooked. However, a large portion of it is not eaten, but instead of saving it for leftovers it is almost always thrown away. So the food is delicious...
