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?

My footprint
Hello, I'm Mario, I live in Dénia and I'm going to show you my carbon footprint per year, first at home 4545kg per year, second food 2395kg per year, third, purchases 133kg per year and finally transportation 489kg per year. What do you think I could do to reduce that percentage?
Hi, I’m Nicolas. I suggest trying for your home footprint to unplug electronics before turning yourself in for the night. For food, Having more local or seasonal dishes or buy groceries in bulk with reusable containers that can reduces the packaging waste associated with individually packaged items. For purchases, You can try repairing it instead of getting something new to replace it like a jacket or a bicycle. Finally your transportation,you can try walking for a change for closer places that you need to go and only drive If you think it's really far.
