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?

How we can preserve energy in my home
Taking the carbon cycle survey, I realized I used a great amount of electricity. Sometimes when I leave the house I forget to turn off the lights and that also makes our electricity bill go up. I should really pay attention to turning off the lights because I am consuming energy I am not going to be using. Also, I should unplug my phone charger to preserve energy because it still consumes energy even when your phone is not on it.
That's a great idea. also you can unplug appliances that you aren't currently using like lamps and televisions, they also use up electricity when not in use, and those were just a few examples, there are probably at least 10 items in your house that don't always have to be plugged in, try to find some when you get home today.
Perfect, I think that this is a good work .
