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 total carbon footprint it lower than the average US citizen's footprint. Most of the carbon I put into the atmosphere comes from transportation. My results were okay with me, except for the transportation. I didn't realize how much carbon I was putting into the atmosphere by going places in vehicles. I will try to walk and ride bikes more rather than emit so much carbon in the atmosphere by riding in cars or other fossil fuel burning vehicles.
i agree
transportation was my highest to i was going to start right my bike more
