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
My carbon footprint could be lowered dramatically by being more environmentally conscious and less wasteful at home. Lots of energy gets wasted through air conditioning, lights being left on, unnecessarily long showers, and many electronics running simultaneously. Carbon emissions could be reduced by replacing lights, improving insulation, and using less hot water
