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 footprint was 6, 569. I honestly was surprised once I got my results, being that I live with 5 other people in my house, which is above average. I'm only somewhat good about reunion odd lights, water, etc; But I think it's due to the fact we don't really do more than we have too. We don't usually go all that far out from the house, don't turn on lights initially if they aren't needed. Don't use water unless we need too, take somewhat short showers. We're pretty good about those things, that is a few reasons why I believe my number came out so low. But it still could use some improvement.
