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?

BE AWARE!
I know that sometimes you just forget about your impact on this planet, but you got to remember that this is the only place we could live and if we destroy it, that's it, we are gone. So remember about this and try to help the planet so we can keep it healthy and ensure a good environment for future
I agree. A lot of people don't understand the extreme of climate change because it hasn't personally affected them yet. A lot of the people in power today are from the older generations who won't be around to deal with most of the consequences of climate change. It's easy for them to deny climate change but it's still frustrating that a lot of them are turning a blind eye and continuing to support fossil fuels. Our generation is going to have to make major changes in our daily lives to compensate. Despite Gen Z not holding government power, we must use our voice to advocate for the planet.
