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?

From Menorca
Hi everybody!
We're form Menorca, a beautiful and an amazing island from Spain. Our footprint is a bit higher comparing to the spanish average because we live in the middle of nowhere. So sometimes we are forced to travel to the mainland very often by plane or by ship. That's why our average increases in transportation's path. Besides at home path our footprint depends on the seasons of the year, because some ara hotter/cooler than others. As for the food and purchases path we're below the average.
All in all our footprint is higher because of the transport, since it's a need for us.
Hope you visit Menorca, you'll enjoy it!
