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?

Student transport
After calculating my carbon footprint I noticed that the factor which makes mine be over the average is transportation. Living 15 km away from my school makes me use public transport daily, a habit that affects the environment pretty bad considering that they are not friendly for the nature: they are not electric and they don t have a low consum neither. Talking with my friends and classmates, we realised this is probably the biggest impact on student's carbon footprint from our town.
