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?

Biology
My carbon footprint results turned out to be higher than the average in my area. This is mostly caused by the amount of food I purchase and the dairy I consume. These results have helped me to become more aware of how much I bring to atmosphere pollution. I will be more careful when thinking about my trash and consumption income. My transport results are much lower because I prefer walking and taking the car only when needed.
