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?

Did you ever find the time to throw something in the trash at home and don't want it at all? Yes! And it can happen many times during the day!
The solution? You can reutilise the object in any other way.
For example the plastic bottle; when i thought of this activity on the production of CO2, I had next to me some plastic bottles. I tried to find another way to use them before to throw them in the trash. Unfortunately, the ideas that I thought didn't satisfy me, so I searched online and I found millions of interesting things. ( here there are some example photos!)
for example the plastic bottles can be jar or containers for pencils.
The cans can be bracelets or necklaces.Wood can be a small table or fruit bowls. There are many example to reuse whatever!
It is very easy, look too, if you have some difficulties you can look online and you will be satisfied!

Hey, this is really interesting! It's something creative and different. We think of recycle like to throw away things in the right way (if there is a right way) but we don't think about this way of recycling. And on tv there are many programs for this kind of things like painting old furniture ecc..
