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?

Using your Bike more often
Instead of driving around everywhere, it’s much more environmentally friendly to ride a bike or walk to places nearby instead of driving where you could. Instead, shift to using your bike more often so that you can use less gasoline.
What if it takes to long to bike? Not everybody lives in some sort of small compact dream town.
