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?

There are a lot of people who throw a lot of rubbish in the floor, and in the sea. This is a bad action for our planet, because causes a lot of pollution. Moreover, the rubbish at the forests causes serious fires, and this destroys the vegetation and the trees, we can't remember that the trees create all the O2 that we use, and if we destroy all the trees and cut off, how will we live in the future? Moreover the rubbish in the sea murder a lot of acuatics animals, destroying the species and for consecuence our wildplanet.
