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?

We're killing the world
Looking at my own carbon footprint I noted that it is very high mostly due to travel and having lights on too much, the things that I can change are little but can make a big difference if everyone did the small changes turning lights off more and carpooling more. Everyone in the world can make the change we want to see.
