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?

As students we need to do as much as we can to mitigate climate change as we learn about the causes and impacts of global warming. While we're still in school, we should take advantage of the opportunities we have to fight climate change before we acquire more responsibilities as adults.
I agree with making time in school to inform students about the benefits and disadvantages of climate change. And how we can resolve these issues with new ideas coming from everyone.
