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?

carbon Footprint
I have learned a lot about my carbon foot print. For starters I didn't know what a carbon foot print was. I need to shut off my lights when i am not using them. Also quit buying clothes every week and once a month.
Why would you buy clothes every week?
You can also shut off anything electric, such as video game consoles. A thrift shop could be used if you want to buy something. Its recycling and good for the earth and you`d still could get clothes. Another thing is that you could recycle things such as plastics and glass. If you want to help the environment you can eat foods that don`t have a big carbon footprint.
