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?

Is Climate Change real and human caused?
Climate change is obviously real and human definitely caused this damage to our planet. I mean, take a look around you, look at the damage we have caused. We take up way to many energy in this planet. Not just that, but we have been cutting down way to many trees, to build buildings and factories, which causes pollution. Climate change is real. There has been a lot of natural disasters that has been caused by the climate change.
I have learned from your post that climate change and humans definitely are the reason for the damage of our planet. They destroy our planet by building buildings and others like factories, using too much energy, cutting down trees, each one causing pollution to the environment and the consequences of natural disasters because of it. I just want to ask something to further this discussion-how can we try to prevent climate change, but also utilize our resources to help the environment and society at the same time? Maybe you could do some research as to how we can do that so other people can do it too. I understand how you feel, humans have been destroying the environment ever since we came along, maybe if we took to a period where you could cause the least amount of damage to the environment, and still live happy.
