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?

Biking to school
I've found that my highest on my carbon foot print was my transportation. Sadly I live too far from my school for biking to be a choice for me but for people who live close to their school biking would be a great choice for the environment but also for your health. Although it does make you fit it also increases the sharpness of your brain melts away stress making for a good start to a school day. So if biking to your school is a choice it would be a good decision to make. And you would be helping yourself and decreasing your carbon footprint.
I definitely agree, biking to school would be great for your health and the sharpness of your brain. But the main thing that biking to school brings is lowering the amount of polluted gasses in the air. Also, if you live far from school another solution could be carpooling with someone that lives near you so that could minimize the amount of pollution in the air.
True biking to school is good, but also is walking to school. I say that either way its better than getting a ride everyday and wasting all that gas that can be used for anything else rather than going to school. Biking to school is also easier than walking Because it takes less time and it doesn't hurt the environment.
this is good to reduce your carbon footprint because for most people the footprint is higher because of transportation
I truly agree it is a good alternative from using carbon. Using a bike also helps the environment by helping plants and trees grow
I think that biking to school will be a great way to cut back on carbon use. It is also healthier for the earth and people doing it. I agree that you would be helping both yourself and your carbon footprint.
