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?

My carbon footprint
After calculating my carbon footprint, I realized that my effect on the environment is not very harmful, considering that it is below the average of my city. This project helped me to understand the impact of my actions, and that led me to be more careful in my everyday life.
