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 to Possibly Reduce Carbon Footprint
Paper bags are one way that the Carbon Footprint could be reduced. As it is the same carrier as a plastic bag except, as the author states in the article, "Paper bags are biodegradable... Paper bags are one hundred percent recyclable because they don’t contain toxic and poisonous gas that plastic bags emit during recycling" paper bags are so much better for the environment they do not use any toxins or release negative gas into the air as plastic bags take years to decompose and contain toxins.
