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?

how to reduce carbon footprint
There are many ways to reduce carbon footprint, but it is especially easier for students. Students can walk or ride a bike to school instead of getting their parents to drive them. Carpool is also another option, but not as good as walking or riding a bike or scooter to school. We can use less air conditioning and heating in our house, and instead of heating we can use more blankets.
