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?

Transportation: Carpooling and Public
Carpooling is good for the environment because the lesser amount of cars and other vehicles on the road means that their are less carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Public transportation is also good like Bart because so many people fit on the train which is very good to decrease the carbon footprint.

This is a good topic to discuss. I completely agree that carpooling lessens the amount of carbon footprint. I don't understand why people don't do this more often especially when people are all going to the same place, might as well all go in one car and lessen the carbon emissions
