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 has enabled many students to become aware of the impact that usual activities pose on the environment.
I have found that my carbon footprint is below average. However, I am always looking for ways to improve my lifestyle in order to help our planet thrive.
I believe that we can all work together and reduce our carbon footprints. Simple changes, such as turning off the faucet when we don't need it, can and will be beneficial to the environment.
What do you think? Has this project inspired you to reflect on your carbon footprint?
