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?

The earth is dying
Looking at my own carbon footprint I noticed all the things I could change. Simple things like remembering to turn off the light when I leave the room or turning the water off while brushing my teeth. There are some many little thing you can do to decrease the amount of carbon you put into this earth.
I definitely agree with this, I think small, simple changes are the key to keeping our environment safe. Not everyone can make an organic garden or ride their bike everywhere, but everyone can remember to turn of the lights or not leave the sink running. Thanks for sharing!
i agree that there are a lot of small things we can do for our carbon footprint
I completely agree with this statement. So many people take for granted of all their resources. They don't think about the other people who don't have access to clean water, or an "easy access" food supply. Some people can't bike or walk everywhere, but they can turn off water while not in-use and turning off lights when they're not needed.
yeah my travel distance is crazy that why my carbon footprint was very high
