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?

Tourism related to environment
I live in a place where tourism is really important so if we don't take care of environment it'll have horrible consequences. People go to small villages to diconnect, to enjoy nature, if we destroy that, people from villages will move to cities and small villages will disappear, causing overpopulation in the cities.
I think is important to save things that we have and now we are always shopping and building new things.
For example, in my city there are a lot of parks and naturals places for the turists, but we don't take care of them and we ruin it. About this situation, the goverment don't do things to solve and make new buildings, parks...
