Student Footprints

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?

Student footprint

My footprint was lower than the average number in michigan. I think it's because I don't eat or travel as much. I'm going to start remembering to turn off my lights and water when I don't need them on.

I was the same. Mine was very low. I haven't travelled in a while because of covid, there isn't anywhere to go. My electricity category was quite high. I have so many lights in my house, including my lights outside that never turn off. I'm going to try to figure that out, because I feel like that's a big issue. Make sure to not run your water while brushing your teeth. Its such a waste of water, since you're not using it. Also when you're washing your face and/or hands, you should run the tap with the sink drain closed so you don't use more than that.

That's true, I also have lights outside that never turn off and somtimes water is left on in my house by mistake. Little things can make a huge difference if we all pitch in and work together. Kids in communities around the world should put together plans and ideas for their towns and cities in hopes of the mayor or governor passing them along as new rules or laws. Ocean Conservation and the carbon emissions are what we really need to watch out for as carbon impacts a lot more than you'd think.

My footprint was slightly over the average number in Pebble Beach, but it is mainly because I travel a lot on plane.
