Try This! How big is Your Footprint?

In Mystery Class, you've traveled the world searching for faraway places, new knowledge and your secret mystery friends. But actually, you and your new friends have been "connected" all along. Whether you live in Zurich, Zagreb, Zwerndorf or somewhere else, the fact is we all share the same global Web of Life.

Sunday April 22 is Earth Day! In honor of the day, take a minute to think about how heavily you tread on Earth! Every day we each have an impact on the planet, or as some call it an "ecological footprint." How does your footprint measure up? Are you living large, with an ecological footprint exceeding the world average? Or do you walk softly and responsibly, leaving a smaller footprint? It's time to find out!

Try This!
