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?

saving power
Being more mindful about using power like leaving a phone or computer charging over night helps reduce Co2, also turning off the lights after leaving a room is easy and saves power and energy reducing CO2 spent. there are a lot of simple things we could do to conserve power like reusing plastic bags and composting, or hanging laundry to dry instead of using a dryer, can all help reduce our CO2 levels in our enviroment.
I agree with this their are also things like energy efficent cars or thermostats we could us to lower everyones power usage.
