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?

Carbon Footprint
I think our carbon footprint has a lot to do with how we live our everyday life It affects the weather and our waste. All the food we eat and all the technology we use has the effect of resources we can be using it for instead other things. So next time think before wasting.
Our carbon footprint has EVERYTHING to do with our everyday lives. the richest 10% of the population alone contributed 52% of total carbon emissions between 1990 and 2015, while the poorest 50% of our population contributed a mere 7%. further, the richest 1% contributed 15%; more than double the amount contributed by half of the population! if the richest 10% could cut carbon emissions, our planet would be WAY better off.
