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?

High results!
My results were really high compared to the average person. It was mainly the traveling and food sections that stood out. I and my sister have to drive to school every day and each ride is 15km, so it’s really quick to add up. The food section was a real shocker since I do recycle at home. However, the recycling at my school is really lacking. There you have it, take care!
