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?

What I have learned in the past 3 days.
In the past three days I have learned about climate change, greenhouse gasses, and my carbon footprint. First I want to talk about climate change, and how we read an article and went over it in class. Secondly we discussed non-greenhouse gasses and greenhouse gasses, the differences and similarities between the two, and the specific things that they are used for. The last thing that I have learned in the past three days of class was about the world's and more specifically my carbon footprint. When learning about this we took 50 question quiz going over the certain purchases, traveling, and eating that lead to having a bad carbon footprint. Overall I have learned about how these three things effect out world in todays society.
