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?

Walking
I think another way we can lower our transportation footprint is to walk whenever we can. It is also nice to be outdoors and you get exercise. Also, if you have a pet and the place you are going allows pets, they can get exercise, too. Yesterday, me and my mom and my dog walked to get tacos.
