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
Hi, I'm Alexandra, I live in Dénia and today I'm going to explain my footprint. In my region the average of the surer home is 1,462kgs, but mine is 1,110kgs since I do not usually turn on the air conditioning or heating. The average food is usually 2,620kgs, but mine is 1,078 because I don't usually eat as much as the others. The average shopping is 1001kgs and mine is 298kgs since I don't usually go shopping much and finally the transportation has an average of 1885gs, but mine is 862kgs because I only go by car to school, the rest I walk.
