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?

The globe has higher carbon footprints in North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of South America. The more populated ares have a higher carbon footprint. I used the calculator to try to reduce my overall average carbon footprint to the average person of another country. I need to reduce my traveling carbon footprint. I am going to take the bus more.
