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?

Lowering my carbon footprint
My carbon footprint made me realize that the small things I do add up and end up harming me and the environment, because I usually leave the television on time from time even when i'm not watching it, and I usually end up charging my phone for too long because I forget about it when playing sports, to prevent this I could take my time watching a show and when I am done using the television I could turn it off and do something else, and for charging my phone I will charge it before starting a game or after the game because I don’t use it when playing.
