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?

the result ,I can make better
My carbon footprint is 5,758 kg of CO₂ per year, a little lower than the average for Spain, which is 6,968 kg, although it is still higher than the global average. Looking at the results, what pollutes the most in my case is food and home. I think I could improve a few things to reduce my footprint. For example, at home I could turn off the lights more when I don't need them, use energy-saving light bulbs and not leave appliances plugged in. As for food, you could try to eat less meat, especially beef, and more local or seasonal products. I could also avoid so much plastic and buy only what I really need, because I have little in "shopping", but I could still improve it more. In transport I hardly pollute, so that's fine, but in general I would like to continue to lower my footprint and be more aware of the things I do in my day to day.
