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?

Student footprint
I can use a thing called a compost bin which you throw your not finished food into such as veggies, fruits and then little worms inside of the container digest the food and turn it into dirt which can help plant trees and lower my carbon footprint. This is because I have most of my carbon emissions are from transportation which is hard to remove because I fly a lot and instead I could help plant trees by making compost dirt and then planting trees.
