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 carbon footprint
Hi, my name is Ainara aand I'm from Dénia, Spain.
My home carbon footprint is way above average. What can I do to lower it?? I think it's because I'm always with the lights on during the day and I keep the fan on during summer all day and night long. I also keep my phone charging all night and sometimes I forget to unplug it. Talking about digital devices, I believe the main problem is that I keep my PC on during at least 12 ours even if I'm not using it out of laziness to turn it back on. Maybe I can also take less time showers to save water too.
I think that's basically the reason my home carbon footprint is that high and that I need to take more care about my actions with my digital devices
