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?

Less traveling
We need to start traveling less in order to help our planet. Its isn't good for the environment especially if we're traveling across the country or world. There's nothing wrong with traveling either it's just that we also have to look out for our planet, our home.
Traveling less is a good idea and if you do plan on traveling anywhere you should make sure that you are taking the shortest route and try not to sit in traffic also have your car full and don't take more than what you need.
I think that traveling less would help tremendously even by just carpooling to work and school we could really help the environment and if we could stop traveling so much could really help.
Less traveling is a really good idea, and when you do need to travel it's best to use public transportation.
