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?

creative ways to reduce your carbon footprint
One thing I notice that really increased my carbon footprint was how much trash I threw away whether it be at home or at work. One way to go about this is to reuse containers, eat leftovers, donate items and make sure we aren't constantly throwing away what we buy. This will definitely benefit the atmosphere since it will not pollute landfills and places other than that where our trash shouldn't be.
these are all so simple they are good. it's not obnoxious or anything tedious.
I agree with this so much, especially eating leftovers and donating items.
