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?

Public Transportation in Oakland
Public transportation is less accessible because of all the roads and highways in Oakland. The whole city is designed for the use of cars which makes it harder to take buses or bikes, which benefits car companies. We should remove some of these unescessary roads and make more bus stops and train stations to preserve energy. Using more public transport will help prevent further air pollution.
