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?

It was lower than i expected
I thought that my footprint would have been much more because the transportation was like two of the average transportation combined. It was that high because we went to Greece and to Arizona. Also i drive a lot to different places. Purchasing was a lot lower than i thought because i thought i purchased a lot of things. I am saving a lot of money by not spending it.
