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?

Unplug chargers
Many people are not aware that keeping your chargers plugged into the wall when it is not being used not only harms your device, but also the environment. Keeping your chargers plugged in will increase your carbon footprint and produce lots of carbon dioxide. Although devices aren't plugged in, it will still consume energy.
Ive heard of that too Kimberly C, thank your for informing me on this topic. I wasn't sure this was true until now this will change my whole mindset from here on out.
