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?

Carbon Footprint
I never realized how large of an impact flying has on carbon emissions until I took a carbon footprint test and answered that I have flown across the world. Transportation such as flying is a very useful term, but traveling across the world every year could be avoided in order to lower my carbon footprint. In addition, I realized that riding with other people to school is a more reasonable option than driving 10 miles to school alone every day.
that surprised me as well
i know right its so interesting!
