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?

Healthy food
A healthy diet is essential for our body works in a normal way. So we can include vegetables and fruit in our diet, and reduce products that are canned or packaging. At the moment that we feed in a healthy way, we would stop buying so much junk food and would stop producing so much garbage. This would also reduce demand for junk food and the factories that produce it would stop polluting the environment. Both aspects would be of great help to the environment in which we live.
I think it's a good idea.In past few weeks i've ate only salads and i'm feeling more active.
Hi, my name is Chereches Andrei, I'm 17 years old and I am from Romania. I agree with you, eating healthy is a very important idea. Stop buying junky food like fast food. Don't let your dreams be dreams, just do it!
I agree with all of you. The people go out for lunch and eat junk food or food in a plastic container, only because they don't want to wait in line in a canteen. It would be a better idea to bring food from home and take the rubbish home with you. I think we should try to recycle as much as possible like I do. I think that people should eat more vegetarian food.
By the way, I'm from Guatemala.
