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?

Global warming is not a gamble
We are in trouble, althougt a lot of people is in their houses enjoying their televisions and polluting with their expensive cars, other people is suffering the consequences of pollution, maybe they have suffered an earthquake or perhaps terrible floods that have just destroyed their houses. We ought to change the way we life, we should change the way we travel, we must CHANGE. Our politicians don't promote renowable energy and the society prefers high performances than healthy habits to environment. Money is everything for us, and earth is a simple place where we buy IPhones and IMac laptops. We are destroying our planet. LET'S DO SOMETHING NOW. Or we will be sorry and it will be too late,
