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?

Climate change, from Spain
On the lasts days we've been doing an environmental project in practical english class. We could choose some topics about it and explain it to the class. My team and I choose climate change because we thought that it's a serious problem nowadays and it could help us to know about environment world problems that are affecting us today. We found causes, consequencies and some possible solutions. But the consequencies were which more surprise me. Some of them are extreme weather conditions like floods and droughts, the melting of the poles caused by the rise of the level of the sea or deforestation.
