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?

Easy ways to lower your carbon footprint
Using the website below, i found multiple simple things that people can do to lower their carbon footprints. Some of them include turning off lights when you don’t need them, keeping room temperatures at a moderate level, and closing the windows when the AC is on. You can also unplug appliances whenever they are not in use.
