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?

Transportation changes
Hi! My name is Ava and I live In Jacksonville, Florida.
I drive about 30 minutes to work from my house 5 days a week, not only this but I drive 10 minutes from work to my college 3 days a week. Along with that I drive from my house or work to my boyfriend’s house almost everyday. Being more conscious of how much I’m driving during the week could definitely help. I’m currently learning how to skateboard, so maybe skateboarding to my boyfriend’s house from my house would help lower this. I could also carpool with someone to work or take the bus in order to limit my carbon emissions. Below is an article which lists other ways one could lower their transportation emissions!
