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
This project made me realize that the world is polluted in many more ways than I thought possible, although I am glad to see that I got a below average carbon footprint. I will make sure that I keep doing the things that I am already doing and maybe improve on some aspects about my and my parents' lives. More people need to start changing if we truly want to save this planet.
