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?

How can I reduce my carbon footprint
I can reduce my carbon footprint by starting to buy only the things I need, because there is a lot of food and self-care products thrown away. There are many people in need of the things we throw away because we just don't want to use them, but if we would stop buying them, the shops could donate them for a noble cause. Also, we could buy and donate them ourselves.
