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 footprint
There are some examples of how can we reduce our carbon footprint: by consuming local and seasonal products, by limiting meat consumption, by bringing reusable shopping bags and also avoiding products with excessive plastic packaging. By doing this we reduce the carbon footprint and also improve our health and make this world more animal friendly.
