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?

On average in the whole world the level of corbon dioxite is 3,719 kg per person so here are some fesible actions you can take to lower the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Take shorter Showers 5 - 10 minuets ( no-one cares about your beauty bath ), turn the lights of when you exit a room, use better light bulbs ( so they last longer, do not wash your clean clothes ( if you don't you don't needd to buy so much cleaning solution ( packed in PLASTIC )), eat less meat such as beef, pork, chicken, fish, and eggs, do not purchase SO MUCH STUFF ( seriously, nobody need so much stuff).
