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?

Your Carbon Footprint is an important thing to know about your everyday life. Everything that you do in life gives off Carbon emission. An example of this is when you drive your car or use electricity in your house. By reducing the amount of energy that you use and by walking more and not driving, you can help prevent carbon emission and global warming.
