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?

MY carbon footprint was really high which surprised me because I and my family live fairly environmentally. I take 10-15 showers but honestly can say that they are nice it's not something I would give up. I am also a huge gamer so I wouldn't give that up either. Also from personal experience, I was never really planet friendly because I always never turned off the lights when I left a room or turned off the water while I brushed my teeth. so this carbon footprint is differently a wake-up call.
