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?

How the pandemic effected the environment
![US](https://depts.washington.edu/i2sea/images/flagpedia/US.png)
The pandemic positively effected the environment. I think this because of the site "Online Learning Impacting the Carbon Footprint" which says that people traveling less and using less on-campus devises is helping the environment. What this shows is the potential good and positive affect that not traveling as much and not using on-campus energy. In conclusion the pandemic has had a far more positive effect on the environment than it has ha negative effect of humans.
