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?

Ways to reduce your Carbon footprint
Finding out what your carbon footprint is can be discouraging to say the least. We don't even realize all the things we do in our daily modern lives that affect something so much bigger than any of us. It is easy to be discouraged that enough people are taking action, but it can all start with you! One of the ways I found to be an easily accessible thing for most people to begin trying to adjust in their lives is our vehicles and the ways we use them.Not only is how often, when, and to where we are taking our cars important but even the type of car we buy can make a difference. Is it electric? Does it have good gas mileage? Is it bigger than what we need it to be ? These are all factors that if kept in mind when choosing your vehicle can vastly reduce the imprint you leave when driving.In many urban areas globally it is not truly realistic to cut out travel by cars completely, at least not yet, but if we are conscious about our usage we can still help. Another thing to keep is mind is your driving style. Are you aimlessly joyriding? Quickly accelerating when it is unnecessary? Or perhaps speeding recklessly? These are all more factors you may not think attribute to the footprint you will leave behind with your car but they do.Change is just around the corner and it starts with each of us individually today.
