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?

Why Carbon is harmful to animals and what we can do to help the envirnment.
Carbon is harmful to animals because when it released into the atmosphere to global warming and climate change, this have negative impact on environment and animals that live in it. One way to help the environment is to reduce our carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, instead of fossil fuels. Also we can reduce our carbon footprint by using public transportation, walking or biking instead of driving and by making our homes more energy-efficient.
