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?

Alternate Routes
Try to avoid being stuck in traffic because traffic wastes gas and unnecessary CO2. You can avoid traffic by watching the news to see what the traffic is going to look like before getting onto the highway. Also, you could use traffic websites or apps such as, Waze which gives you a different way or street that you could take so that you will not run into the traffic. I know that we are not driving yet but we can always help the person driving us.
this is a good alternative and it will potentially cut the amount of fossil fuels in half
