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 i finished calculating my carbon footprint, I found that the impact my family had on the environment is lower than the average for my city, which was a good thing to hear. Although, i still noticed some things that i could change and i decided to talk to my family about this. Together we established some new rules that will hopefully lower our carbon footprint even more. This program has helped me understand the impact of my actions and be more mindful in my daily life.
