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 believe I can reduce my carbon footprint by being a bit less lazy and stop using my dad's car as transportation. I can walk but it's much more comfortable in the car. If I stop thinking about how comfortable I am and start to think about nature, I can reduce my carbon footprint this way. By thinking less of the comfort in the car and begin using bikes or even just walking we can reduce our carbon footprint by reducing air pollution.
