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?

Travelling
I had 23,00 after travelling. Plane trips took a real blow to my carbon footprint
I had 37,983 on traveling while my regions is 456. I live in Guatemala where most of the population lives in poverty or extreme poverty so traveling is not something they can afford. Many take buses which is great since even though buses have a high amount of emissions they allow many people to travel around the country.
