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?

Large amounts of carbon use from cars
I had a large number for my carbon footprint (about 18,500) is from transportation. I think that there should be better ways to lower the amount of carbon prodocuded by cars then just switch to electric cars as i do not think that electric cars will be going away soon.
