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?

Hello my name is Albert and I have doubled the CO2 statistic because I have taken the plane and that goes up a lot. I have also tripled the world championship.iikjkj9bnjnl
Hello Albert, CO2 emissions from planes are pretty insane, but it's one of those things that we might have to take to travel - no other way perhaps. In the U.S, we could take a train, but that probably wouldn't be as easy or feasible since infrastructure wouldn't be there to support it or really degraded and unsafe, depending on where you live in the U.S. So taking a plane might be the best option until there are better opportunities in the U.S to travel cross-country or multiple states.
Hi Albert! My CO2 emissions also went up drastically while taking the test because of a trip that I took last year, with various long flights. While I'm not proud of it, I know I cant undo it. I find it really sad that we as people that live on this planet as of right now, don't pay attention to our environment as much as we should. I propose that we as humankind make it a societal norm to reduce the amount of transportation that produces great amounts of CO2.
